[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Liverpool *** Official Match Thread ***

[Mike Small]

Sanchez. You clown. You dangerous clown at that.

 

[Eeyore]

Can whoever is on VAR referee our next match ?

 

[DJ NOBO]

Sanchez is a liability need some competition immediately, Ryan got dropped he he seems undropable

Wasn’t great and that goal was coming.

Sanchez is well in credit though.

 

[Solid at the back]

That was embarrassing from Sanchez, was way to casual coming for that. Almost no effort there. My prediction of 3-1 is still on!

 

[London Irish]

Let me guess is Sanchez pointing at Duffy in the stands?

 

[Mike Small]

I get it's hard to tell whether to rush out but if Sanchez's doesn't rush out that isn't much of a chance for Diaz. Sanchez and the pass should share the assist.

 

[Frutos]

Sorry guys Sanchez was spreading himself as all keepers do, if Diaz wants to stick his head in there that's up to him.

It sometimes seems as though you wait to see what the prevailing view on something is, and then disagree with it.

 

[Bodian]

I wonder if what they looked at was that he spread his arm and leg just after the header - in a sort of reaction to try and get the ball. Maybe they decided that he wasn't really going for the player?

 

[GT49er]

Lucky not to be a redcard.

Was it checked by VAR?

Was it checked by VAR?

Yep.

Should have been a pen with dyke pulling Maupays shirt hard in the box.

 

[Bodian]

Was it checked by VAR?

Must have been - they would have been checking the goal.

 

[severnside gull]

Simple long ball does us again

 

[WhingForPresident]

By the letter of the law it was a red no doubt, strange decision. Seemingly no communication at all between keeper and defence.

 

[Mancgull]

Shame as we’d done well til then. Taken the wind out of our sails

 

[London Irish]

Shame a rank defensive blunder has totally killed our confidence, it’s all them now

I didn't look at anyone else, maybe some are listening to the commentary and are swayed by that. I am not and Sanchez spread himself like keepers do when it is a one on one. If Diaz wants to dive in with the head anything can happen. Sanchez had a split second and was slightly misjudged.
Everyone will moan about it on MOTD so they have something to say.

Sorry if I have a differing point of view, the only thing Big bob was guilty of was being a milli second late.

 

[nwgull]

It was definitely checked for the foul play. Goalkeepers always get away with a lot if they’re clearly trying to get to a ball in their own box.

 

[Washie]

Do we not work on defending long balls or crosses?

 

[Justice]

I sometimes think some VAR decisions are over ruled to keep things interesting especially for live games, brings talking points etc.
