Mrs Fella’s view of the Salah penalty

Originally tweeted by amadí (@amadoit__) on August 28, 2021.
Here’s that Reece James red card decision. I see his hand move but I don’t think he hits the ball with his hand. the intent seems there though.
I think Anthony Taylor sees the arm movement and deems it deliberate. to be fair, he swings his arm and misses it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
actually, on second thought. Taylor never watched the entire play. he looked at a fucking freeze frame. shambles.

Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp screamed “Avengers Assemble” and Virgil Van Dijk alongside 50,000 fans returned to Anfield this season. The Reds have certainly forgotten the woos of the previous season and have seemingly rejuvenated their side in front of their fans.

Jurgen Klopp refuses to inflict anything different in the team than the 2019-20 title-winning season. The team is almost the same and so is their methodology of playing.
