The incident where Borini collided with Ridgewell, I don't think that's a foul as Borini simply ran into him as his eyes was on the ball and he did not see Ridgewell in front of him.
As for Lukaku's headed goal, he was definitely not offside as Liverpool had Skrtel, Johnson and Reina at the far post.
You can watch the highlights here again to confirm: http://footyroom.com/west-bromwich-a...rpool-2012-08/
As much as I would like to defend Liverpool, West Brom played really very well apart from the first half where we dominated possession but did nothing with it and wasted good chances to score. It could also have been 5-0 to West Brom if Long had scored the first penalty which he earned and if James Morrison had scored from Lukaku's left foot cut back.
Liverpool were really poor.. 
I reckon that Stewart Downing should be dropped to the bench. Sterling and/or Assaidi should be given a chance in the first team on the wing.
Agger is suspended for the next 3 league games (unless the red card is overturned), meaning another central defender must be drafted in. I really hope either Coates or Wilson comes in instead of Carragher.. |
I thought they had introduced new rules to the game as in no further punishment (e.g red card) if a penalty is awarded?
From what i saw on the screen last night, Borini was impeded.
Professional foul is only 1 match suspension right? only violent play is automatic 3 match suspension?
But do agree with you bro, Liverpool played well until Gera's goal and we deserved to lose. But Phil Dowd on the day obviously favoured WBA/.
