Pfft . Two tap-ins

What for? They didn't show any replay of a clear foul.

Gah so Liverpool should have won.
Well, at least City dropped points and it sounds like they didn't play too well. Managed to snag some good fantasy points from Tevez and Yaya too.
Very promising for Liverpool then - thought Allen, Coates and Sterling all looked very capable in that first 45. Trip to Anfield in a couple of weeks isn't going to be a tough one.
Well it was offside. They showed the replay over and over again. Add the ref blocking and there you go.
Yeah I haven't seen much of him but it seems like a good buy.

Brøndby equalizes and are now above the relegation line. Terrible day. Bjaelke must be ecstatic that his teams actually are managing to get draws though.
Thanks
So:
Premiership :: Match of the Day
La Liga :: Revista De La Liga
Bundesliga :: Spiel des Tages
Ligue 1 :: Jour de Foot
Serie A :: La Domenica Sportiva/Partita del giorno (?)

Yeah I saw the goal. There's no stopping a 12 man team.

With heaps of incorrect ref decision involved. Magical, isn't it?
To say Liverpool should have won is putting lightly, really. It almost feels like we won, because the performance level was so positive. Two defensive flukes, two goals.

Stadium emptying in Osasuna and I'm not surprised. First goal offside and then a stupidly harsh red card. Sorry but this smells.
Most important thing for me was that we haven't abandoned our ability to pressure and raise our game in the big matches, which I thought could be the case given our new style and the defeat last week had me worried about our mentality. Can't be faulted today though, a couple of mistakes led to the goals conceded, but those things happen in football. If we play like we did today for large parts of the season we'll do very well.
Excited to see Agger and Sahin in the team next week.
Is this Montpellier player a defender? If so then that's a positive move by Arsenal.

I believe it was a second yellow for a player arguing with the ref over the offside goal.
Welcome to weekly Barca games. They had an offside goal last week against Real Madrid.
The Emirates is a fortress.

Not really a defensive fluke when Skrtle had a similar brain fart in the previous game. He clearly hasn't adapted to this new style of play and unless he shapes up, or you get a better ball playing defender, these flukes will become a regular hazard.

Wow. I'm starting to believe in the Barca conspiracy theory now. That's crazy, especially since the guy was right.

As I said before only saw 45 mins today but between today, last week and another 45 minutes midweek I am having doubts over Borini.
Obv it is still too early to judge and he is young but it doesn't seem like he has enough individual quality from what I've seen. He gets the ball in wide positions but never really commits defenders. I'd heard his finishing was the best part of his game so maybe he just needs to get a first goal.

more like hate on shit refs, which just happens to occur at a barca game
It wasn't really like his mistake last week. Last week he just got skinned by a player. Today was a real brain fart of the highest order.
He should have known when the right time to just launch it is, it's not something inherent in the system. He doesn't need time to adapt, he just needs to cut the errors out.
In fairness, he was playing on his less favoured side, so perhaps on his right he might've felt more comfortable playing the ball down the line, or looking for a trickier ball inside. And has been said, the angles for him weren't the best so he doesn't shoulder all the blame. Skrtel was boss today, and I'm reluctant to start pillaging his performance because of said unfortunate error.
He played much better in the second half. The best part of his game is winning the ball high up on the pitch. He had a beautiful disguised pass in for Suarez that you probably missed.
I'm less skeptical about him now than I was before the game about Borini. But to be starting for Liverpool, you'd hope for more of an impact, especially on the score sheet. Think he'll eventually play in the middle, but at the moment its too big an ask for a 21 year old who is new to the PL.
Osasuna players asking for a penalty against Barca at the last minute, so cute.
The ball hit Pyoul's hand so yeah, pretty cute.
He can play anywhere in the defence? Fucking snap him up then. Love it on FM when I find a quality wingback who can play both sides. Perfect utility.
Speaking of, we looked far more dangerous when Enrique came on and Johnson could shift back to his preferred side. Kelly put in a top performance though, and it was great to see him do that on the back of some criticism last week, when people thought he couldn't adapt to the wingback system.
That's a lie. People blame barca for shifty refs and you know it
Have you even been looking at their games?
I await similar critiques when Madrid plays.

I honestly can't remember a game where Barca got shafted by the ref.
Of course dummie. Are refs bad yes, is it barca fault? How?

You have always been the biggest Barca-lover even when they've made some serious faults so I'm not expecting anything from you.
Similar critiques? You know there will be a shitty ref who gives advantage to Real?
Great stuff winning in this stadium. Osasuna was in better physical shape and this stadium has always been tough for us. glad that we got this tie done with early in the season with a win.
have to say putting Alexis as a 9 and Messi behind him when Pedro came in decided this match, good coaching by Tito.

They always have the most absurd good luck thanks to incompetent officials.

Watch All games, you'll see they exist.
Looks like Chelsea paid the refs in the PL

Every now and then some team overbids even Barca.
