    What a great goal, superb from Jones to be alert to the loose ball and to drag a marker out of the way, nice pass from Diaz and disciplined to resist the temptation to shoot, ditto Nunez and Salah is in the right place at the right time. Wonderful stuff.

    Glad it’s come early too, none of that frustration from the first half carries through now.

    EDIT: …or maybe it does. Jesus Christ…

    2nd half is going to kick off. Lackadaisical reffing for fouls and pernickety reffing for any reaction to that… players are going to start taking it out on each other.

    Every ref knows you can play advantage AND then come back for a delayed yellow card, right?

      You’d think. That was unbelievable.

      And then Joelinton does it again a couple minutes later

    Frustrating first half, need to cool off and just keep knocking on their door in the 2nd. Bad nunez, salah, and taa misses…

      Let us hope we can settle a bit and focus on those final passes.

    Nunez needs to be scoring those…

      Yep. Getting real “One of those nights” vibes here.

      Dude just dribbled through half the team… Virgil also seemed far too casual

    We are definitely knocking on the door. Diaz looking sharp, great to see

      Such a shame that goal didn’t count, but fair play to the linesman, he got it right. The VAR delay was ridiculous though. As was the delay before Salah got to take the pen.

        Yeah definitely the right call. Would have been a great goal though.

        Fascinating seeing those extreme single-player close-ups during the VAR checks. The VAR guy is seeing the lines there but they’re hidden from us until he’s fiddled around enough to get the result he wants.

    Another great goal! Maybe Liverpool can try hanging on for more that a couple of minutes this time… 😄
