    The ludicrous disallowed goal vs Palace...2 points

    So, those missing points would have had us on 14 points. equal 2nd with Man City

    Now this isn't a thread complaining about those points that we've been robbed of-much as we'd be entitled to complain.

    The point is that Howe is doing an absolutely fantastic job, especially when you consider we've had to use Jacob Murphy, Matt Richie, Almiron, Fraser and Chris Wood in those games. Anybody could argue that their team should have more points if they'd finished better or had that bit of luck, etc, but that's just football. But these are points that we actually did earn but, because of atrocious refereeing, were denied. (In fairness, we may have missed the pens against Wolves and Man City but we should have at least been given the chance to miss them )

    We have some manager, like.

    i disagree mate, in my eyes we would have been on 17 points and 2 points clear on top of the league if the refs were competent

    John Stones assault elbow on Schar = penalty and 2 points
    Callum Wilson goal disallowed against Brighton for high foot = 2 points
    Isak second goal against the red tramps = 2 points
    Longstaff shirt pull against Wolves = 2 points
    Own goal against Palace = 2 points

    make no mistake about it Zip, we are being played by the PL and Big 6, i can smell a law suit coming soon. It was fine when it was just us, but now Villa, Everton and Brighton have started to shout corruption.

    Our game against Palace was on live Spanish tv, the people who were commentating actually started laughing at the refs decision and the PL and even shouted corruption live on air

    THIS is whats made the PL sit up and take note, the brand is now being damaged

    The klopp time in the Liverpool game was heavily questioned on espn in Brazil in the match analysis as well.
    They couldn’t understand why so much was added and said the ref should’ve blown after our last attack.
    I’m just relieved that other teams are suffering this too. It’s almost as if they’re trying to discredit var through incompetence.
    All this after special training in the close season to improve the standard of refereeing ffs.

    The refs are allowing more physical tackles to pass but as soon as a goal is scored after one, the var calls it and they go back to giving a foul for almost nothing. The inconsistency is glaring.
