The timing, the ramifications and the fact that Oliver was literally paid by City’s owners means there’s no way that’s getting given.

Its a blatant penalty. Hilarious that people argue otherwise
It wasn't a foul
Think he did well under the circumstances, I would normally expect him to lose the ball/miss on the pass in at least one of those 4 tight quick 1-2s in the first half, but he did not. Great involvement when Doku hit the post, Could also had a decent assist when Alvarez had all the time in the world to get off a decent shot at 14 yards but skyed it.
But this isn't penalty. MacAllister went into him with his chest when Doku cleared the ball. You can't expect getting decisions by throwing yourself into other people.
The creaming in the Sky studio over that KDB assist, come on man, its a straight forward pass.
Arsenal top with ten games to go and they still won't win it.
This confused me as well at half time. It’s hardly kaka against the scousers is it.
So why don't those sort of assists happen every week then?
Weren’t they top even closer to the finish last year?
Teams usually defend their near post a little bit better than not at all
G Nev would have needed new pants if they'd got that 98th min pen.*City take a throw-in*
Sky Sports studioooOOoooOOooOOAAHHH!!!!!
So it was the dive from Nunez that injured Ederson. I'm not sure that should be a pen. There's no contact at all until after he dives.
The only player on United who could belong on the pitch with Liverpool and City today is Martinez. It is sobering how weak we really are when you see the skill and effort levels on display under Klopp.
There’s wrong and there’s really wrong.
This is really really really wrong. It’s a pen all day long (and I’d have hated it as Liverpool would have won).
Decent result for Liverpool u12’s
Mac Allister attempting a Fosbury flop on the City player.Foul?
Explain why you think it wasn’t a foul. Curious.
Come on. Klopp now being sneaky in interview. So much pressure he is putting with this.
Exactly!
I said, MacAllister went into Daku with his chest.Hang on, MacAllister "went into his chest".
Bloody hell
So if my opponent kick the ball and I throw myself into his foot it is penalty?
Never a penalty.
That's just how Doku runs. He has super high strides.Foul?
Clearly a penalty. Can't go around kicking people in the chest.
Went for the ball, got the ball. Wasn't exactly his face that he kicked was it? What did you expect Doku to do? Not go for the ball? Yes MacAllister got a boot to the chest, but welcome to football, a contact sport. It would have been incredibly soft if it was given, and no way a contest like that should have been decided by it, so never in a million years would it have been given.
It was a huge let off. Waving your studs up in the air and at best skimming the ball and plunging said studs into someone's chest is definitely a let off.
Luckily the powers that be favour City as much as Liverpool.
Yep we’ve been consigned to the wilderness thanks to the Goblins.
Yeah you’re probably right. I just feel that even in their previous matches City have dominated possession; this just felt different.
Carra doesn't think it's a pen to be fair.
Though, imagine if that was for us and Nev said it wasn't a penalty. His thread would be going mental

Depends who it is you're kicking.
I'm obviously happy Liverpool didn't get the pen, but what was that?
It must the worst referee decision I've seen for a long long time, if that's not a penalty than running with the ball in your hands in your own box clearly isn't.

Sky determine the level of outrage about calls. There's no planet where if that was a united player fouling, this wouldn't be the biggest story of arguably the season. They took 30 seconds to say no pen in analysis, and that's it. Finished.
Their influence on football discussions and narratives is near total and they are 100% pro City, who were abysmal in second half and are being praised for it.
They actively avoid talking about the charges.
They will do anything to protect their crown jewel - PL football. Oliver, the UAE choice ref, has for a second time in a table top game has given city an enormous call
As for the penalty, I really want to see it because everyone seems to say it was clear so I don't want to sound like a deluded idiot.
But I only really see his leg strafing MacAllister a bit. I mean, very lucky boy there Doku and could easily have been a pen but I really don't see this clear and obvious contact that puts it beyond doubt that everyone else seems to be seeing

conspiracy theories galore if that had happened yesterday at Old Trafford
I think that was a pen, same as the Ederson one against us.
Having karate tackles even if they dont connect should not be allowed and in the case of the scousers today, MacAllister got kicked in the chest proper.
Not a yellow but definitely a foul anywhere else on the pitch if it's not Oliver and City.

In honesty I would rather have Klopp in charge of my club than Pep, I cant stand the sight of Pep he is awful
I said that once and was told that you can be coached to make that happen.
I know, I know.
If that was a penalty, VAR would obviously have given it.
