Bolton 1-2 Liverpool (FA Cup Replay)

i'm not so sure, the contact didn't look obvious but look at the way his leg flicks up and hits him on the backside.  the contact made for something like that to happen would have been for cloughy's toes to have been stepped on.  Not an obvious hack and stonewaller but still enough to bring him down.  if a player is running the power from pulling the leg up from the pressure of the opposing players foot is why i think it was a penalty for me.  Saying that, i don't think the ref was in a good enough position to give it because to see something like that all happening as quick as it did you'd have to be right on top of it.  it's only since watching slow mo replays and the different angles that i came to that rather out there conclusion

Was a clear dive imo.

We have been beat by a wonder goal...following on from the wonder goal with Wolves.  So unlucky IMO but they get a pay check too.  Hopefully our luck will even out going forward now.

Took a deflection, wasn't a wonder goal imo

That's right. I was more annoyed about their first goal.

The pass for their first goal was sublime

It was indeed. Coutinho was the best player on the pitch though, different class.

Definitely. Reminds me a bit of Messi the way he moves with the ball. Has the potential to reach that level too.
