Pretty weird of Mac Allister to make a video right after the game, praising himself...
He has adapted a remarkable British accent aswell🤔
Lol some of these ballers can be p weird sometimes, but if he plays well that's all I care about!
😂😂
What are you talking about? He was interviewed🤔 that's standard for after games? Unless I've missed something...
Well... I've played an absolute blinder there, haven't I. You know what? I'll leave it there. I deserve to be laughed at for being so slow.
It doesn't matter if Doku gets the ball first, he kicks Mac Allister in the chest and that's a foul every time
Nah. McAlistair thru himself into it. Watch it again
Doku hits Macca first...watch the slo mo replay
Earlier on in the season, Dias goal got ruled out cause of an apparent foul by Akanji on Alison, but no one says anything about that
Exactly, but macca gets to the ball first anyway so it's even more clear
@mickbanner Doesn't matter as Doku's boot, studs shouldn't be above the waist. A high-boot is "Dangerous Play".
"player makes a reckless or dangerous play for the ball by kicking above the waist level of an opposition player.
High boot moves are exemplified by the motion where a player leads with the studs of his boot. Such moves make other players prone to hurtful contact."
Referee and VAR need to study the rule book. 🤣
I think Harvey Elliot has improved so much over the years. He’s turned into a real workhorse to go with his clever on the ball play
Funny to say “over the years” considering he’s only 20. The lad has a lot of great football ahead of him at this rate I agree
@@chilled99 Him and Foden currently playing the best football that they ever have (in their careers thus far) but those two together could be LETHAL at the Euros.
He ran his legs off too.
Agree. I think Klopp found Elliot position on the right side letting him run and be kinda chaotic. Harvey is a kind of 8 1/2...sometimes wing...something mildfielder...he starts to score....shooting and tackling. Complete
Adam Lallana vibes about him imo
Rules in relation to a high-boot (Dangerous Play):
"player makes a reckless or dangerous play for the ball by kicking above the waist level of an opposition player.
High boot moves are exemplified by the motion where a player leads with the studs of his boot. Such moves make other players prone to hurtful contact."
It's a foul by the rules of the game and a clear penalty. The referee and VAR have yet again got it wrong.
It just never goes Liverpools way in these big games. Diaz offside vs Spurs, Odegaard handball and now this.
Nope. Doku kicked the ball straight up in the Air, he foot wasnt going forward it was going up after contact he was pulling his foot back. The liverpool player tried to buy the penalty by rolling his right shoulder into doku boot. You dominated stop trying to beg fouls.
@@rakimrobinsonMCFCMacalister was trying to control it with his chest
@@rakimrobinsonMCFCkeep reading it until you understand the rules.
@rakimrobinson6505 You do understand the concept of "Rules" and a High-Boot above the waist is a foul even if there isn't contact as it is deemed "Dangerous Play".
"The following fouls are punished with an indirect free kick as long as there is no contact (contact fouls require a direct free kick): playing dangerously* e.g. high foot (no contact) obstructing/impeding an opponent's progress** (no contact) preventing/blocking a goalkeeper from releasing the ball from their hands"
I suggest reading and comprehending the rules in relation to Football before making loudious statements.
My favourite part of the season so far by a mile, is when Diaz has that crazy run against rodri and Walker, then the camera pans up to his dad. I honestly just about started crying. The sheer pride and emotion on his dads face and the commentator said "how proud would you be to be that mans parents".. well thay was me. 😭😂! What a moment!
When you think about what that family has been through, the fight Diaz showed in that moment really captured everything about that story.
shame he couldn’t score any of his chances tho
Been downhill since his Dad got released
Cringe, you started crying? 😂
@@philip244Well you sound like a joy to be around
@@philip244 some people's parents actually loved them so they feel empathy when they see other parents loving their kids. Shame your parents hated you
Endo should be shout for MOTM too.
I thought he was MotM for me personally. So many interceptions.
He's probably our signing of the season
Conor Bradley
Steve Nicol nicely put it “he might not be as technically as good as De Bruyne but he is just as important”
If Endo was 23 ( and not Japanese ), he would be selling for 100 Million $ right now the way he has been playing.
Endo was so good.
endo was brilliant already in stuttgart. Klopp knew exactly why he wanted him to play for his team.
Without having watched the video I think Endo played out of his mind, very underrated imo
💯
Elliot too.
He was class, I had a bet on a d just needed a yellow from him, he made a few fouls but they were fouls he had to make, he was everywhere, broke up play, started attacks, he was outstanding, if there was MOM he was up there for it IMO
Endo didn't let KDB talk
That Doku challenge was like Nigel De Jong on Xabi Alonso, a match officiated by the illustrious Howard Webb. He booked De Jong on that occasion. I cannot wait to hear his spurious excuses for his best boy, Michael Oliver.
Or, if we want to take doubt of the occasion or the biases. Mane vs Ederson a few years ago. Doku & Mane both following the ball with their eyes, but both raise their foot into a high position that could cause injury to the opposition player they are up against. Mane is sent off directly (correctly, his foot was higher and catches Ederson's head) and Doku gets away with it somehow.
Your beyond stupid
Nani vs Ramos was pretty similar
They get regular employment from the UAE. What else can you expect from them?
That should have been a red card for Doku and a penalty.
Well done on getting the video out so fast. I always want analysis straight after the match and yours is consistently the first good analysis out there.
🤝🥹
All the worst ref decsions keep happening to us in the biggest games
Coz they want city to win it, that's why all the pundits always have them as favorites coz they got refs in the books
@@franklinpass4412who's they? The pundits, refs, PL? You sound mental
@@franklinpass4412 yeah everyone have it out for PL and media darlings liverpool and the klopp babies. can't turn on the telly without someone wanking them or some ref giving them undeserved minutes or rewarding their constant flopping
@@africancoastyet another DELUDED muppet lol!!!.😅😅😅
Cry more
The most impressive thing about that Liverpool display is the team that did it. No Alisson, no Trent, no Konate, no Jota, Salah and Robertson only playing bit part roles. Regardless of result, to put that City team under that kind of pressure with that many of your bonafide first team players missing is unreal.
You're probably the only person who's critique I can listen to or just general football analysis and opinion cause it's thought through, informed and unbias.
Well done sir top content 👏
This is your usp quality balance based content 😊
Endo was unbelievable!
I was just expecting us to lose this one. But Klopp and the crowd were amazing.
Stone cold pen so that's 3 big calls against us in title matches.
Brother support another team or back your lads , these fans flipping hell
Who do you support? Because any Liverpool fan was not expecting a lose at Anfield.
@@VladGolgotha because he thinks City is a good team and can beat any team? Liverpool had a weaker team on paper. It's not unreasonable to expect a loss. I'm sure he still supported his team
@@danielcooper3868 he should support City mate
Never a pen. If you quieten the crowd, take importance out of game...your left with a dude that made contact with ball with minimal follow thru and reasonable height.
I've been really impressed with Kelleher, he's played quite a lot recently die to Allison's injury but he's looked as good as any premier league Keeper. Of course Allison is still probably the best keeper in the league but I wouldn't be surprised if other teams look to try and take Kelleher off Liverpool's hands.
He was going to leave for more playing time before this season but we begged him to stay. Everyone can see why.
Ref was looking away and didn't see it. Not seeing it IS a clear and obvious error James!
Another impressive performance from Endo, some player
Liverpool were superb. If that game taught me anything it was that if Liverpool win the league it’ll make it even sweeter that they’ll not only beat city and Arsenal to it but also PGMOL and all the hurdles they’ve thrown at us. I think they win it from here. Klopp is cooking
Clear and obvious drives me insane. Just get the decision right.
The work klopp did with mac is underrated. He started him as a cdm early season to make him an all rounder mid. Who is both defensive and offensive. He was investing in his future value.
Michael Oliver and UAE have links don’t they?
We made them look poor but we let them walk away with a point, still think we'll go on to win the league tho
You were so good. But when dust settles...its a point each. Strange feeling
Y'all didn't do anything wrong: the refs screwed you.
If we keep on playing like that for the rest of the season, we're winning everything
We need to start scoring goals for fun like we used to
100% a pen. It’s a foul anywhere else on the pitch. As a Man United fan it hurts to admit it but yeh how it wasn’t given is insane. If City win this league it won’t mean anything.
Its a foul anywhere else on the pitch AND IN THE PENALTY BOX. We need to start saying this better for these failures to see obvious decisions.
Way too harsh on Nunez. He was offsides a couple times but thats his game you gotta live with that. Other than that he played really well in my opinion, if Diaz doesnt have a shitty day finishing Nunez gets an assist. Also if Bradley shoots instead of taking a touch he mightve scored which also would’ve been assist for Nunez. Plus his pressing was great today and got the penalty
@@Supersleuth42 And Haaland was completely anonymous this game, the same as the earlier fixture in the season where he did next to nothing after scoring. I'd rather have Nunez honestly.
Nunez was having a great game. Was the reason why we could collect the balls in between the lines by constantly running into space. His offsides were mostly when the team forced it through him or the pass was a bit too late. To me again the most frustrating person to watch is Diaz. Yes he drove forward a lot but out of all tricks and flicks he failed to create a single deadly pass. While being on the receiving end of 3 of them.
Nunez was great, he still needs to time his runs better
@@kristinalfc5846 nah we need to be better with playing the ball on time and not waiting as much. Half of offsides the ball was just played a tick late but Nunez is the whipping boy so he gets the blame
@@rushpan93😂 ok you can keep Nunez. We'll keep 52 goals last season treble winner Haaland
At end of the final game of this era, we were on top of them in a way i dont remember us ever doing before . Even though we didnt get the result, it feels like a symbolic victory in a weird sort of way. What a game and a shame it wont happen again (FA cup notwithstanding)
“Nunez… poor overall” what game was you watching, Jim?
Was caught offside way too often and made a meal of a couple of situations tbh, he could have been a lot better
I was surprised he said that
@@dandasolo in the first half sure, but in the second half he caused havoc, was the reason we got a point, was much more imposing on the game than the big blue yeti on the other side.
He doesn't know the offside rule
@@ZZZ77- was also the best striker on the pitch all game.
It's a high foot how is that not a penalty even if he touched the ball is still bullshit
Shouldn’t even be a question if it was a penalty or not. Of course it was. Anywhere else on pitch it’s a foul and a yellow. Any other team in league it’s a pen, apart from the 115ers
Klopp once again played kids against an advanced City starting XI and he pulled it off.
Behave
@@aystefan Checkmate😄
Endo was solid too
Honestly so good watching a great match then coming over here for your analysis great stuff James
Apparently the high boot rules don't include Liverpool, just ask Cody Gakpo.
Can't wait for another apology from PGMOL and Webb. If VAR doesn't think that onfield decision is a clear and obvious error, then we might as well get rid of VAR. It's worse than having no technology because of the inconsistency in how the technology is used, thus creating an unlevel playing field. How many points have LFC lost as a direct result of really shocking VAR decisions this season?
As a neutral I am very impressed by Liverpool they were def the better team.
Seen so many people talking about whether Doku gets the ball first etc. when its irrelevant because Mac Allister stops challenging to protect himself from the dangerous play of the high foot. If you're challenging studs first at chest height it's a foul regardless of what happens to the ball or the man.
City fan here, from the second Mac Allister scored the tone shifted entirely - up until that point I could hear the city fans “boys in blue” chant but from them on it was purely the roar of Liverpool fans and the team instantly responded to it, they were far and away the better team in that second half and I think we got outrageously lucky that the foul was not given. That draw was incredibly important for us though, had we lost it would’ve felt like Liverpool would run away with it, especially considering they have arguably the easiest remaining fixtures between us. It’s going to be an exciting 10 weeks that’s for sure…
It should be an exciting next 10 matches. I looked at the fixtures for all 3 clubs and IMO your City boys have it easiest. We all have 5 home and 5 away matches. You lot have 4 clubs (Arsenal, Villa, Wolves, West Ham) currently in the top half of the table at home and 2 (Spurs and Brighton & Hove) in the top half away. Arsenal at home will be your toughest match. We, Liverpool, have 3 home matches vs top half sides (Brighton & Hove, Spurs, and Wolves) and 3 away matches vs top half sides (United, West Ham, and Villa). Arsenal only have 1 home match vs a top half side and that's vs Villa, but ALL 5 of their away matches are vs top half sides: City, Brighton & Hove, Wolves, Spurs, and United.
With such a tough away schedule I think Arsenal drops some points. I think it comes down to City v Liverpool, which is why we needed to win this match and go 4pts clear of City. We're going to have to be nearly perfect these last 10 matches to stay ahead of City since their schedule is a bit easier than ours. Just as this match ending in a draw was the best thing for Arsenal then the best thing for Liverpool would be for City v Arsenal to also end in a draw so neither side collects 3pts.
Glad we only have 3 matches the rest of this month (maybe the EPL will reschedule the match away to Everton for later this month) as it will give our banged up walking wounded more opportunity to get fit for the stretch run. It'd be nice to edge City by a point for the title for a change.
@@mikeguinness5408 one thing which still haunts me is that I had Villa and United both above Liverpool in my pre season prediction 🫣😭 honestly didn’t think Endo would have such a seamless transition into the squad, thought he was brilliant against us yesterday. If there’s anything I should know it’s never to doubt Klopp.
If Howard Webb keeps his job then we know the premier league is on its way down. You can’t fire all the refs but you can fire their boss. VAR has Been, currently is and forever will be a shambles with PGMOL locked in its hierarchy. Get rid of Webb fire Darren England or Paul Tierany to send a message and clean up the mess
All he did was deflect the problem to sideline behaviour, and spun a sob story about it filtering down to Sunday leagues. The sideline behaviour has been instigated by gross incompetence week to week, year to year. Webb and the PGMOL are gutless and weak as piss.
On the penalty shout, even if Doku gets the ball first it is irrelevant, he has to put his foot high and dangerously to do so, and the contact with the player is either simultaneous, or immediately after the touch. Therefore it cannot be argued Mac Alister arrived late and simply ran into Doku to buy a foul (as some have claimed). Stonewall penalty.
Really good analysis. I don’t always agree with you, but it’s nice to see genuine tactical analysis of the match rather than just stating the obvious. It feels like so many commentators these days don’t encourage any in-depth engagement, and just focus on the big picture.
But why was your feed American? 🤔
Kyle Walker even went out of his way to praise that controversial VAR decision for no penalty & got applauded for it. Trent is absolutely correct when he said it's really hard to fight against a machine built to win. Referees, media, fixture timings, injuries and disproportionate financial power & leeway.
buveys reaction to the mac allister penalty claim at the end says it all to me, he put his head in his hands when it came up on the screen saying VAR and he said after how tf isn’t that a foul
Next game lets get VVD to clear the ball above the high waist and see whether VAR says anything
Damnnn... Klopp's a genius 🐐🔥
Liverpool tore City apart in the second half, after Ederson came out they had trouble getting the ball forward, they usually rely on him for passes on the backline but without him they had a lot of trouble getting out of Liverpool's monstrous pressing
The amount of times Gomez or Endo read the game and made massive interceptions was unreal
That 1 on 1 of VVD against Haaland was straight outta Hollywood
Macca was superb but Endo was just unreal . He's the sole reason why Liverpool are dominant at midfield . Just check his stats in the City game... easily MOTM alongside Macca
Doku thought he was Jon Jones
He thought he was prime Tyson 😂
😂😂😂😂 only thing missing was an eye poke
Great vid Jim up the reds - where'd you get that t-shirt? Looks a nice fit and I want one
Thanks for the analysis Jimbo
Astonished that you didn’t mention Endo once. He was MOTM!
3:15 Walker's kryptonite😂😂😂
great video james 👍🏻 could you do a vid on spurs villa?
Cowardice from VAR. Stonewall penalty.
We either lose 0-1 or win 2-1, both penalties are like for like, City not anticipating that a Liverpool player wants it more and them slipping in and touching the ball drawing a foul, fucking ridiculous, even if you think it's not a penalty, it's very strange how these instances happen creating point swings for City, I.e Rodri handball, or them getting the weakest pen in prem history vs United this season
Great analysis as usual! Though I always find it funny when you use non sky sports screenshots 😉😂
Every player that has had to step up has stepped up. Every single one. Klopp will be missed.
You should do a video predicting the scores of Arsenal, Liverpool and City’s last 10 premier league games. All 3 have tough games coming up.
The first time ever I saw Man City players all behind the ball defending
VVD IS GREATEST, KEEPING THEM HAALANDS QUIET
Macalister hand ball??? It’s on the jumper sleeve, you know as well as I do, that’s not a handball it hits the top of his sleeve.
And it’s a blatant pen for a high boot, just read the high boot rules 🤷🏻♂️clear as day pen
I want to see James actually managing a football team because he seems so switched-on and fully with the tactics of both sides. Brilliant watch again.
Being a tactician and a manager are hugely different roles
@@bigwilly3346 Yeah, I just think it would be interesting
According to VAR if i slightly touch the ball but doing front high kick opponent,it is not considered foul, or even booking a card
I don’t understand the downplay on Liverpool.
These players are still playing well enough to had been in first until the Arsenal match.
Think the younger players actually help with the high intensity and gegenpressing.
I absolutely hate this clear and obvious part of VAR ruling, definitely agree that it was a pen as well.
What we forget is that Salah would have smashed that pen into the stands
I have to say, I am so proud of that performance from Liverpool yesterday. Like the title said, we are riddled with injury’s and usually struggle to dominate the midfield, but we were the better team. Klopps tactics were spot on.
BUT imo taking Darwin off for Gapko killed our momentum for me. He is so out of form vs Darwin being in great form, plus he was winning every header and such a threat with his pace.
The one fault in an otherwise perfect performance
excellent summary
For almost the entire game, Foden/Haaland would press Van Dijk ASAP if he's about to receive the ball, but at around 80-85th minute, Pep and his team gave up on getting 3 points, they completely stopped pressing Van Dijk, it's like they were begging Michael Oliver to blow the FT whistle.
There was only 1 team truly looking for the win without fear.
correct about Alvarez, he was so poor on that left side. But KDB should've stayed on alongside Kova, any chance of getting another goal for City died with that sub. Pep often makes too many mistakes in big games
If only James had the same enthusiasm for other teams
Penalty... Not heard one person say no pen. Irrespective if he gets ball first or not.. Boot is high and endangering a player. Red cards are been awarded for over physical fouls and this qualifies as kicking someone in chest on any other area of pitch ref would immediately stop play.
Honestly i as a Liverpool fan don't get why klopp took darwin off. He was playing brilliantly and almost scored if not only for a good moment by ortega. Gackpo came on and did absolutely horse shit. That's where we drew the game for me
The refs would never give a penalty in that situation. Too gutless.
There HAS to be a 'who wins the league from here' video!
Ten games to go and one point in it
Patiently waiting for ‘how a weak United made Liverpool look average’
Managers allowed 2 Ref Challenges per game.... only way to counter corruption / incompetence.
This isn't about petulance. It provides a counter balance opportunity by each team to Challenge the ref to go to the monitor manually review a situation, and demand explanation of their decision making in real time.
This creates a context for accountability. The Ref today, will not want to have their decision making or lack of highlighted by potential challenge. The manager has the opportunity to demand a review
Great idea
Hopefully you see my comment, love your analysis, but the image analysis is too notch, I know you cannot play video because of copyright thing, but if you convert like a 5 second video into gif? Will that be copyright?
Keep up
Why klopp thought salahs number one assister should be taken off didn't make sense for me
I think nunez must be cautionary..we still have 10 games left
Haaland absolutely nonexistent. Rodri was shown up big time. Pep got it wrong in the second half. Liverpool shown everyone in the league how to cause City problems, you have to cause chaos, press, have way more energy than them. Thought Elliott was brilliant on both ends and had unlimited energy. Endo was amazing, so many of Liverpool's chances came from Endo winning tackles in midfield. Mac Allister is world world class. Ortega was impressive when he came on. Still think he's a better shot stopper than Ederson.
City got away with murder at the end. that's a stone wall pen and borderline red card. Studs into the chest is unacceptable. The handball chat is silly, its in the armpit and on the sleeve. It doesn't matter who gets the ball, his studs go into his chest, at a normal chest height. It a very obvious penalty. I'm surprised there is even debate over this. Thought it was certainly getting overturned, to the point where I didn't even react to it not getting given originally and just went "VAR will get that".
Thought Walker was very lucky to not see red for the challenge on Salah. It's 2 foot off the ground, studs up and with force. Refs are so inconsistent with this rule.
Through red eyes 😂😂😂
@@dannymactheatreoflife.1771 through Coventry City eyes lmao
I'm so happy Mac Allister is doing so good and not playing as a 5 or well, 6, anymore, thanks Endo for that.
I think Arsenal certainly have a chance against Man City.
Arsenal have less injuries and are a balanced team.
Honestly, Ive seen it so many times... put pressure on that City back line and they will make mistakes. Setting up a low block against them like so many teams do is exactly what they want. They HATE being pressed continuously.
Salah produced probably the best moment of the game with his ball to Diaz
The way VVD and Quan swapped positions and Gomez not advancing allowed Virgil to roam and dominate the air for a brief period
This should give us confidence and ideas how to beat them although city at ethuhad is a diff animal
Doppelgänger Alert 🚨: Harvey Elliot + Alexis Mac Allister = James Lawrence Allcott
The second half had Diaz leaving Walker floundering like a goldfish without a bowl...
I think that the most telling thing is that the players seemed to think it was going to be a penalty. Doku was very lucky but if you get rid of VAR it still wouldn't have been a penalty.
Finally Mac Allister gets the recognition he deserves, bought my first ever LFC shirt with his name when he signed, I rate him that highly 😅
It was a penalty all day. VAR just decided to morph into a chicken when the heat was turned on. Great analysis as usual, love your channel.
Endo is the key to all this
Man City are much happier with that result than Liverpool are though
Make a vid on Arsenal v Porto 2nd leg. Porto were brilliant tactically
the var should've called the ref to rewatch the possible penalty
Stonewall penalty at the end
100% disagree. No stake either side. But got the ball and ok height and Macalister made it his mission to run into whatever kick going his way. Good decision
@@mickbanner If it's a high boot and you catch an opposition player, its a foul regardless of whether you got the ball or not.
@stanleybrhm it's stomach height and he's jumping. It's not like he's switch kicking him. It was pretty innocuous. Put that into any Fulham vs Palace game and no-one bats an eyelid. The stakes got everyone claiming this is stonewall pen. Got the ball with so little force
@@mickbannerhe didn’t get the ball- the replays showed MacAllister chest the ball, then Doku’s studs going into his body without touching the ball
Imagine Harry Enfield as Kevin De Broyne, " Endo won't let me play... It's so unfair ! "
