My first reaction to the tackle was that it was a penalty. Then I watched it again and I thought Suarez made a meal of the challenge but that it was still a penalty.

I’ve tried looking for a Thomas touch on the ball as he goes in but it looks like Suarez nutmegs Thomas who’s momentum carries him into the player. I’d say it was a poor challenge that didn’t need to be made personally but hopefully Roy kicks up a stink like Pulis did last year and we can look forward to the same decisions Stoke got off the back of his whinging. Still proud of the lads but a little annoyed at our increasing injury list and the lack of protection from refs.

no-one thought is was a dive, even his manager, he just thought it was a soft decision from the officials, which i have to say maybe it was.

But Luis didn’t chase the REF down and demand the pen, infact he look quizical at the ref pointing to the spot as if to ask are you sure. Midweek Luis gets a knock staying on his feet trying to score, and still get called a diver, sorry no way.

Why the big fuss anyway, we should have had another pen for clear handball about 10 minutes after the first one. So one soft pen given, one nailed on pen not.

maybe Schamer is think Slur Red Nose will buy him if he agrees with him in the media

We made an average Liverpool side look average by such a poor performance.We where well off the pace of the ganme.
Still 6 points from last 9 is ok think we would have settled for that, and we beat the sides we needed/wanted too.

Spot penalty unfortunately too many get given. Suarez is a good player but is a cheat he was responsible for a bad foul later in the game and feined an injury to avoid a booking. Thomas needs to up his game as does Odemwingie this season both have been poor.

You’re at it again aren’t you. Can’t argue that it was our worst performance for a long time but if you think that was a penalty I think you’ve missed your nose and poked your finger in the eye.

On the performance, why do we seem to be so bad under lights for the last few seasons. I can barely remember us winning or even putting in a decent performance under lights.

wall heath.no idea where you sit,but if you think that suarez did not drop down on both knees as if he was shot,you must of been watching a different game.never a penalty in a million years.even suarez did not appeal,neither did any pool players or fans.that tell its own story.jack is correct,you need a white stick.

that’s a good point.i can not remember our last good performance under flood lights.i was hoping roy would put gera on and that that may raise the players game a bit.
question,who is the biggest diver in the prem,DROGBA or SUAREZ.even KLINSMANN would struggle to beat those 2.

Liverpool wanted it more than us,passed and moved better
Bit of a soft penalty,doubt if we would have got one for the same thing
But we’d probably have missed it anyway
Wish peeps would make up their minds what they want,when we were playing with 5 in middle they wanted 4 now they are calling for 5 again
Maybe with Long out we should revert to 5
Would like to know how Thomas got MOTM
Thought Foster should have had a sniff

Can’t think who it was now, we had a player booked for going in with his knees, his boots were behind him. Tell me that player meant to go in like that. Someone refresh my memory. Again well played lads, with the dice loaded against us.

I don’t think any of us would try to argue that it was anything other than a pitiful performance. So bad that it made what is a fairly ordinary Liverpool team look better than they are. I think all the players as well as the fans that have been on here have admitted as much.

As for Suarez. I’d like to see players and managers from opposing teams ‘out’ him very publicly every time he dives so that he gets a reputation with referees and every time he goes down it is treated with a pinch of salt.

I hate cheats and it somehow seems much worse when it’s a player with his obvious talent that doesn’t need to.

Personally i think fans who continually blame the Ref for their teams downfall are whistling in the wind ( and no that is not the proper terminology).
Is the pay anygood for Prem Refs ????

Like it or not – it was quite definately a penalty,- soft maybe,but a penalty never the less. IT WAS ACTUALLY ‘OBSTRUCTION’,and that is a FOUL,therefore it was a penalty!

Spot on except that usually when the ball is being shepherded out the player behind doesn’t throw himself to the ground because he’d look silly. The fact that Suarez did this ended with that little twerp of a linesman making himself look silly unfortunately to our cost.

Boththe pens at Stoke last night were deemed ‘soft’ but both were ten times worse than Thomas’ vicious scything down of Suarez.
