Nice start Townsend.
 
Get the ball off your fucking foot once you are closed down. He had someone to drop to.

The ref has to judge whether or not the contact was enough to bring him down/prevent him from getting to the ball. If a defender puts his arm on an opposing player in the box, it shouldn't be an automatic penalty. Allen flopped like a sack of potatoes after a light touch on the shoulder.
Yeah, an arm on a player isn't a penalty. it was the fact he pulled him back.  It wasn't a huge pull-back, but it did impede Allen's run.  Yeah, the fall was weak, but it wasn't just a light touch.
 
What I would like to see is referees calling fouls even if a player doesn't go down.  If the defender is rewarded because the attacker fights to stay on his feet, then what is the point of not falling down?
 
MORENO!

So...things I'm doing today...
 
1.  Cursing the international break
2.  Murdering DLew's whole family

Jesus Townsend nice pass. If you're throwing the game you cannot be so obvious.
 
EDIT: And again.

Spurs thought it already started.
 
When the goal happened, I was writing a post saying how I think Spurs have actually played well together, since Liverpool's first goal wasn't due to a breakdown...it was just a good goal...and the other goal was a PK.
 
And then that third goal happened because they had an AVB flashback.  
 
Which is why the Family DLew is done for.  He invoked that particular kracken, and now he will pay for it.

According to BBC Sport, that was Gerrard's 43rd penalty for Liverpool, passing Jan Molby for the most in team history.

Sterling just did absolutely everything right, except actually put the ball in the net.  Nice work by Can to get the ball forward.

Maybe they meant the last 8 away matches.
 
No, wait, I think 3-0 at Old Trafford came after that.
 
So I have no idea what NBC is talking about.

Son of DLew is chortling every time Arlo White says Kapoue's name.

After the match he's going straight into Bob Ley's panic room so URI can't get him.

Thoughts on the game:
 
1.  I'd like Spurs to pull one back.  I think I'd be ok with the game at 1-3 at this point.
2.  Sterling is a gnat but wins a lot of physical battles.
3.  Fuck this and fuck all your stupid fucking Scouse asses.

That game will be 2-0 to Liverpool.

Schmeichel got caught in no-mans land there. If you are going to come, you can't give the attacker that much room.  All he had to was turn it towards the goal for Sanchez to finish it.
 
And now an equalizer!

Impressive job by Leicester. Well-deserved point, and with a little better finishing they could have had all 3.
 
Getting 2 points out of the first 3 games against Everton, Chelsea, and Arsenal has got to be encouraging.
