Is that a quote from RAWk?
There isn't a decent American owner do any EPL side imo
Their all in it for the money and don't invest their own at all it seems

It's worked too because the press are talking about that rather than his side being comprehensively out played.

Work is going to be fun on Monday. Before talk will return to how they will be able to get tickets for the CL final in Kiev!!!

Very good point. Nice analysis.

The BBC even have a huge article excusing the Liverpool performance on their sport website.

Klopp on MOTD, I don't even know if he touched him. WTF

Every argument I've heard on why it shouldn't be a red is irrelevant.
Didn't see the keeper
Eyes on ball
Had to go for the ball
None are in the laws of the game

That's just an attempt at avoiding being pressed on it. The same as Wenger's "I did not see the incident".

Very good assessment.
And for those that have any doubt about contact, just look at the distortion on Ederson's face in the pic below. That's how boxers' faces react when hit:

Incidents like this just go to show how thick ex players are and that they will always stick together supporting a "big" club and their players. If some 1st division player had done it they would be queuing up to slaughter them.

Recently retired Ex players are the worst, they still have an agenda against refs.
Barton on Talksport yesterday went on a rant about the ref yesterday after he gave it, said he wasn't fit enough to ref/keep up with play.
Nothing to do the decision.

I don't see the charm with him, he is what Jose would call a "specialist in failure"
Scummy part was when he started putting words in peps mouth.. Sly, oh and pep said it wasn't a red either
It is a red card, but both players are unlucky (one to get hurt, one to get the red). They both have to go for it and they did, sometimes these things happen in a contact sport. This is basically all Klopp had to say, but he chose to say it wasn't a red -- which is stupid because the rules say that it is.
Do you think Mane had to go for it? You want a CF to be hungry however the red card effectively gave them minimal chance of getting back into the game. And there were no guarantee that had he got his foot on it, that he would have scored.....he could have caught it with his toe and it pinged off, he could have collided with the keeper, the ball could have hit the keeper,....
One way of trying to answer my own question is what would I thought had Kane done what Mane did. I think I would have been tinkled off, not just because of the impact on that game but also because he'd miss three upcoming games.
What would you have thought had Kane done that and been sent off, and therefore suspended as well?
Yes I do. Mane is a very quick player, I think he'd back himself to get to the ball first, it's instinct to try and get that ball and have a great chance of scoring. People act like every decision made whist running at full-pelt is going to be perfect, it isn't. As I said, these things happen. On another day, Mane gets there first and ends up scoring, the headlines are then all about City buying another dud keeper.
Kane doing similar, I'd be gutted to lose him to suspension, but I wouldn't attack the player for the decision. I don't think Kane would try that though, he's not as quick as Mane. But this wasn't a needless tackle on the halfway line with the ball running into touch or whatever, this as a player going all out for the ball to try and get a great chance to score. It just went wrong, I don't think there's much more to it than that.

I love the way the experts tell us that Mane is not that sort of player, he's been booked over 30 times and sent off 6 times which is a bit excessive to my view. As he plays for Liverpool we must allow him a bit of leeway and buy into "the Scholes" excuse, but come down on lowlife like Dele Alli who are just scum.
