That’s soft and I wouldn’t be happy if it were against us for sure, but the way Ali tried to jump and ended up going more sideways than upwards tells me it impacted him a lot more than what it seemed.
I’m a keeper and I would be absolutely rinsed by the rest of team if I claimed that was a foul.
Good call by the refs. 👍 Refereeing has been fairly good so far.
Oof, this doesn’t fit the narrative that Arsenal and Liverpool fans have been pushing
I don’t think it should have been a foul, but I can see why it’s given and I can also understand why on-field decision should not be overturned unless egregiously wrong
Keeper gets the benefit of the doubt here. Very close to catching the ball but doesn’t, and they’re is contact on his arm by the city player. Easy decision, only people who want to go against the refs for no reason would think otherwise.
Clear foul
Clear as day foul. Akanji knew what he was doing before Alisson even began to jump.
Alanji tried a similar ‘lean’ later in the match too, as if pushing a GK into across their own goal line with the ball in their gloves would somehow count. That was also correctly called as a foul.
I mean, why not?
What is the penalty for the outfield player for pushing a keeper? At best you get a goal, at worst you give away a free kick. Sure, you might cancel a goal that was going to score regardless, but that probability is so much smaller than forcing an undue goal.
it’s the Pep way to rattle individual players. This is part of tactics.
Never know in the PL. Hard to criticize players for trying this sort of thing with the chaotic standards.
Absolutely incredible amount of morons in here without a clue about the rules of the game.
If this is foul then joelinton against arsenal is foul too. I say both are foul.
See, calling out PGMOL does make a difference, no everybody do it
Corrupted. The contact is extremely soft. Refs are corrupted. So fking dirty
Lol, the audacity of this comment.
LiVARpool strikes again
Wasn’t it also the on-field decision…? :D
liverpool literally had an onside goal against spurs not given you stupid bastard.
Despite being a foul, why is Cias complete alone?
I think City “fans” don’t quite understand the sport here.
