What did Mane do? He slipped, should not have even been a yellow really. Otamendi made a meal out of it. Dont think mane had a foul since?For all the whataboutery and snide Pep digs it's fair to say he's every right to be pissed off. Good goal disallowed, 0 time added on and Mane somehow still being on the pitch?
This ref is a weapon.
Everything breaks down when it gets to Sterling. His lack of technical ability sticks out like a sore thumb in this City team.
So did Dermot Gallagher on sky sports news the other day.
He's got every right to be annoyed but boy does he have a sense of fecking entitlement!
He'll be wearing another ribbon for the disallowed goal
Of course they do. How is that even a question. Ederson basically shoved Mane hard 6-7 times and if he reacts just once, it´s a possible 2nd yellow for Mane after his accidental slip-foul. Busquets would have done three backflips on the first contact, rolled over three more times, grabbed his face and screamed in agony.
Awesome ref.
Liverpool players are clearly fearing the worst. Almost as if they are waiting for the inevitable. Similar to us at the weekend, just waiting to concede.
No it does not need to be a deliberate pass from a defender. When De Bryune first passes it Sane was onside, when ball was punched by Karius it hit Milner and came back to Sane. It was not offside as there was no other city touch once initial KDB pass.
It's a bullshit rule even if it was enforced correctly.
Two opposition players can play the ball and you can be in front of the last defender and still be considered offside.
Where is the sense in that?

Pretty sure Sane was onside from when De Bruyne first played the ball, so therefore he’s onside because Milner played the second ball, right?
I dread to think. Honestly, the worst thing about us losing this match would be the mental gymnastics used to compare this comeback to the Barcelona 6-1 game against PSG last year.
There is no offside to cancel. Sane is onside when KDB makes the pass
So a clearance from Karius, nodded back by Milner - both Liverpool-players by the way, puts Sane in offside? Ok, new rules, I have been living a lie for so long.
Yep. This is the most important part.
Calmund's body amazes me every time I watch him. How he is still able to stand is beyond me.
Uhh the rule indicates that deliberate saves do not void offside positions. In this case Milner playing the ball voided Sane’s offside position.
Lose this one, potentially lose another on weekend would be a two weeks party for baldy surely.
How clueless did Foy sound in the studio? How can he not know the offside rule?
First 20 seconds he went on KDB with a high foot and caught him on the shin. Should have been a booking but the ref lets it slide since it was so early which I hate. A foul is a foul no matter the time.
Just saw this in replay. Wasn't sure at first but appears to be sent to the stands.Pep sent off
Lampard: "Debating Pep's stinking"
hmmm, or was it "thinking"?

Why aren't Liverpool pressing tonight?
Doesnt work like that, if it's off a city player then he is offside as since the goalkeeper is ahead of the play, the last liverpool player counts like the goalkeeper (so sane would be offside). But point is that it came off Milner so it doesnt matter
Om Trayambkam Yajmahee ...Sugandim ...
Nice name you have.
Touch and go this game anyway lads. I think City will turn this around.
Sourpuss said that the other day after the derby game;he isn't a clean striker of a football.
Sterling has had a lot of tap ins
Right, but this is to do with the Milner contact. Does Milner deliberately play the ball? If not, it's offside. If he does deliberately play the ball it's onside. That's all.
Might be a fear of over committing and leaving space in behind, which we’re doing anyway.
Yup but thems the breaks.
Longball FC
This is brutal. We're lucky only to be down with one. Hopefully Klopp has some magic to perform in the break, otherwise I can't see us survive. Sane's brilliant.
His friends call him, Nobby
His teams are masters of the dark arts. I hated Barcelona and especially Dani Alves but there are some other cnuts in this team like Ederson, Otamendi and Fernandinho. Sterling wastes no time diving. They have self entitlement and when they lose it they really lose it. It's easy to be all nice when your winning but they show their real colours in adversity.
No, it not. Because Sané was never offside.
Yeah. That was unnecessary, but the Pep sending off was deserved. Weird thing to complain about.
I didn't know that, appreciate your insight mate.
Meh, a standard somewhat yellow at the start doesnt mean he wouldve had his yellow later (which shouldn't have been a yellow anyway). If he's on a yellow and does something that should get a yellow, then fine.
Did this ref really take Pep to court once? If so then it's bloody ridiculous that he's allowed to ref a game of this magnitude.
If so then it's bloody ridiculous that he's allowed to ref a game of this magnitude.You are pressing with your front 3 and sitting deep with rest of the team. Klopp is either finally being pragmatic OR the Liverpool players are shit**ing themselves.
You're missing the fact that offside counts at the moment of the pass. KDB makes the pass. Sane is onside. No other city player touches the ball until Sane scores. Ergo, Sane's position counts at the moment KDB plays the pass
He's not the real Klopp y'know.
Liverpool lead a charmed existence with referees in the CL.
