I'll gladly take the penalty today, but the spirit of the handball rule is penalizing unnatural hand and arm movements, yet literally no one slides with both arms down their sides. I would not be surprised or upset if they revisit that part of the rule in the future, particularly off a ricochet.
I remember that penalty against Camavinga thinking what the hell is a handball penalty was after that.
2 defensive injuries and 2 red cards in as many games. Sloppy out of the gate from the international break, but unscathed in terms of results. Still much to clean up, hopefully Jude and Camavinga can help with that.
I’m looking forward to seeing Jude/Camavinga back. I think we will see the best version of this squad when they are fully up to speed.
Another fighting win, we made this far harder than it needed to be, should have been out of sight by halftime, still, thanks team, thanks Xabi
I seem to remember a time when "ball to hand", as they called it, wasn't considered a handball. Not sure when that changed. It essentially covered instances where the ball hit some other (legal) body part first and ricocheted onto the arm/hand from there.
Happy with the 3 points and the Mbappe goals,he is a one men team right now,he deserve his props ,he hasnt been this good since 2022,this is the player who actually excited me back in the day . Didnt watch the first half which was the good one ,so i will rewatch it,but that second half was horrific. Vinicius i dont know what is the problem with this guy,he has completely lost the plot . Fede needs to hit the bench hard,he cant play without Kroos and in this system,Jude and Camavinga over him any day,even Ceballos will fit better,play him at right back now but not in midfield. The wingers are disapointing ,i expected a lot more from Franco,but he hasnt shown the talent he supposedly has. Rodrygo CAN YOU GET YOUR CHANCE TO SHINE please?????And then you wonder why nobody wants you in the summer and make big offers...thats why YOU ARE AVERAGE FFS
I'm sick of this kunt Carragher, on Sky Sports over the weekend and now on CBS. Fvck him and fvck Liverpool.
We were very lucky. Lots to work on for Xabi; problems in defence, midfield and attack. Even though we played very good and beautiful attacking football in the first half..
nah we looked super ordinary out there event without the red. The midfield does not look madrid quality. This was at home against a french side. There are far greater teams out there and we dont look like we are at the elite level yet
What is Carvajal thinking? The most experienced player makes such a stupid mistake and puts the team in a difficult position. I've yet to see a convincing second half from this team. Always a sudden drop in performance around the 60 minute mark. Mbappe and Tchouameni were the strongest players for me today. Huijsen sometimes overdoes it and needs to find his balance in his offensive play. Carreras is running up and down the pitch like a madman on the left. Vini looks lifeless and dull in his overall demeanour.
