I’m not saying Liverpool didn’t deserve to win or that they weren’t the better team because they were.
But why do these refs HAVE to give them everything. Literally every 50/50 goes their way. Any debatable red is a yellow. Any debatable yellow is a talking to. A foul the opposition concedes is a foul they get away with. A potential VAR review that would be analysed to death with anyone else is complete before it starts. They are clearly the best team in the league, why do the refs have to help them?
I have seen countless Arsenal players get sent off for way less than what Mane did (and Alexander Arnold). Jota’s goal, I don’t care if the ball barely grazed his arm, it doesn’t even look like VAR reviewed it. I just wish we could have a dodgy ref giving us dodgy decisions in a big game when it matters for once
With that tear drenched rant out of the way. We were really awful 1st half. Way better 2nd half, but god we need midfielders desperately. Ceballos was the only player on the pitch capable of creating anything. Auba is wasted on the left, Wilner is inconsistent (crap more often than not), Pepe is genuinely worse than Gervinho and should be fined for those horrendous corners. Honestly if a £20M offer came in for Pepe I’d take it. We are just gonna have to cut our losses with him. He’s dreadful.
Liverpool look like they are gonna walk the league again
Why?!?!

Allison, TAA, VVD, Robertson, the front 3. They have world class players all over the pitch and a functional midfield to glue it all together. They are a machine. Pretty sure they would cope with a few injuries

They already have a few injuries...

We outclassed you and Jota should had a hatrick in his 10 minute cameo. Trent against the crossbar.
You had the lacazette chance in the second half and one lucky goal in the first half.

Read the post idiot. It was all about the favorable referee handling of the game in Liverpool's favour. I support Spurs, but on this occasion I wholeheartedly agree with a Gooner, because we too have experienced this when playing your lot. Frankly it's noticeable every game.
The poster actually makes it clear your team were better, so you really don't have to go out of your way to be defensive trying to say what the poster has already agreed with.

the funniest moment of the whole game was when Auba was blocked off on a counter attack = no foul. then instantly the exact same thing happened to Mane ( i think) and foul and yellow card my whole household burst into laughter
