It's gross punditry. Where is the balance- where is celebrating the underdog etc?

Good point.

We played pretty well considering our injuries and suspensions, I thought March, Bissouma and Veltman were our stand out performers today. Hopefully Groß will take all the penalties from now on.

Liverpool will gripe at VAR, I’d have been unhappy had the penalty been given against Brighton in the same circumstance...but I don’t think we deserved to lose that game on the balance of good chances created so a draw was probably about right.

The lads should gain a lot of confidence from this result.

Solly March and Bissouma both superb today.

thought Dunk had a pretty good game as well. best this season.

We did miss Tariq today, not sure Liverpool would of been able to deal with his runs

 

[twickers]

What I liked was after the equaliser we kept going at them. I fully expected us to go backwards and concede.

Then I remembered, CH is no longer the manager.

We look a lot more resilient and proactive. You genuinely feel we'll find a goal. It's great, but still a bloomin roller coaster.

Fully deserved point in a game with a bit of luck in the first half, we could have won. Looked a good shout for the late penalty. Robertson (as I saw it) didn't get any foot on ball and definitely clipped Welbecks heel. LFC fans, Klopp and the usual media Liverpool love in suspects will be in meltdown. Meh. They would be no matter what. MOTM for me today was Welbeck. His workrate and intelligent play were outstanding. I had my doubts when we signed him but I'm delighted to have been proven wrong. His contributions so far have been impressive. Well done to Pascal Gross for keeping his cool in a high pressure situation for the penalty too.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

On the basis that Welbeck got a touch before having his foot booted I think it was well deserved. I’d rather have a penalty like that than one of our players taking a dive.

A well deserved draw that could have been a win. We look a decent side with decent tactics and some of the bad breaks we have had to date seem to be going our way a bit more now. Bring it on.

This time last week, how many of us thought that we would get 4 points against Villa and Liverpool?

No - with GP it's more likely 'keep going at them and concede within two minutes'!

 

[BN41Albion]

What? White won the ball and Jota steamed into him. Welbeck nicks the ball and Robertson kicks him.

I agree, but villa fans must be livid again right now. Haha, fvck em

 

[Sheebo]

I hate var and want rid but you can’t full on boot someone’s foot. Then they start going on about clear and obvious - did they not see Pogba on Connolly at the Amex?! Only controversial wrong decision was free kick and card for white then luckily goal ruled out from free kick x

they found connolly hard enough to cope with and he is nowhere near fast but is direct

Plastic scousers up and down the country up in arms.

Plenty of “Dan’s from London” crying and bleating about how unfair it is their beloved Reds have been swindled by VAR.

And I love it.

To be fair Veltman has that seasoned physical Championship defender touch about him coupled with good timing and reads the game well.

 

[Mike Small]

Deserved point. Good performance. Not a penalty at all imo. Ruining the game and would hate that against us.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Great result off the back of a very good performance.

Not sure it was a penalty and if it was it was as soft as can be but I think we deserved a draw based on our overall performance. No one played badly but I thought March was outstanding.

 

[Brok]

yeah, take that. Good point.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Yep, all the Liverpool fans in the studio protesting. Their plastic tears are delicious.

In fairness, Crouch is pretty much spot on.

But this is the VAR world now.
