Suarez should easily have cleared his man to serve up a tap in for Studge, barely looked for each other today. Sturridge been very isolated up front surrounded by West Ham players.

Had a training ground tiff?

Suarez that was awful.

Replay says no pen. You can't giving handball for that, Suarez

You can understand his appeal though. Ref has no idea what he's doing. Might as well try to influence his decision.

Liverpool: Only Crystal Palace (30%) have scored a greater % of their goals through penalties in the PL in 2014 than Liverpool (18.2%) #LFC

The fuck. How many penalties have Palace had!?

edit: thought it was a whole season stat. Whoops.

Wish Suarez would just play to the whistle. It's annoying for everyone in the game and I don't think his stopping the game has any bearing on the referee's decision.
 
To be honest Liverpool has been so lethal up front that I'm not surprised there's a fair amount of Penalties in their favor.

Defenders are having a tough time marking them, so they will make more mistakes inside the penalty box.

Absolutely. Liverpool have the top 1 and 2 scorers playing on top. Can't blame defenders for doing whatever they think is necessary.

Liverpool have had a lot of penalties this year but its in keeping with our play style. We get the ball in the box and often have two or three tricky players with quick feet, makes it really dangerous for defenders.

We haven't had too many decisions go against us, just the ones that have gone wrong have been huge fuck-ups in important moments.
