Adrian took 2 steps forward for every pen, :(.

Abraham never ever looked like scoring, mind.

Keeper had both feet off the line before the ball was struck. Should have been retaken.

VAR not used in the shoot out?

VAR inconsistencies strike again. Blatant dive from Abraham for the penalty and then Adrian miles off his line for that save. In principle it's brilliant but there's too many of these moments.

I thought there was a new rule that the goalkeeper can’t leave the line until the ball is kicked? Adrian was well off his line.
he was clearly off the line!!!

there is a new rule for this. should be retaken.
wasn't Adrian off his line there?
Ermmm wasn't Adrian out of his line?
Yep, but feck having any kind of consistency in the game. VAR or no VAR.

The keeper was clearly off his line and breaking the rules which are in place which require a penalty to be retaken.

How is that not spotted and acted upon with VAR to hand?! Feck me

It was how he actually said it, not what he said. But yeah you're right, she's a fecking pro ref of course she can keep up with the game.
Not actually watching the game, I don't watch Liverpool, so I don't know the tone. It just doesn't need talking about and wouldn't be talked about; Phil Dowd was glad to see a quick counter in most games because it meant he didn't have to run all the way up the pitch.

Anyway I'm pretty sure Chelsea are absolutely on the right track with Lampard in. Unlucky to have a transfer ban in his first summer but I'm sure they're going to improve more next season with few signings in.

4 perfect penalties and then the kid fecks it up.

Liverpool didn't play that well, and had some dodgy penalties but still won.

I feel like that rule is going to be applied strictly in the EPL via VAR for about 3 months and then keepers will be off the line again.

Couldn't say how other national referee associations will look at it, this group clearly weren't interested!

On the plus side. Exhausting night for both sides which will surely have some effect on their games at the weekend.

Lamps is doing rookie mistakes. Not replacing gk. Putting young player as 5th taker. Best takers go 1st and last. Even i know that

I thought it sounded extremely patronising, although Hoddle comes across like that quite often IMO.

It's if he makes it to next season.

They played some nice stuff again tonight but if Abraham is going to be their main striker they're going to struggle I think.

Never looked like scoring, no. Feel for him though, reminds me of Lukaku in 2013.

Lukaku is miles better though . Abraham is clearly nowhere near premiership standard and that was obvious before the season started

Why the feck did the referee visibly warn Adrian about coming off his line before the shoot-out but then do feck all about it when he did come off his line in the shoot-out?

Laughable. The Scousers’ luck knows no bounds.

I'm sure he'll. Thanks to the transfer ban I think this season is a one off. Putting Abraham on the last pen was a big mistake of him though.
