Yeah GK’s are protected or you’d have pushes and shoves on them constantly to get advantage.
I get what you mean but literally the reason akanji isn’t closer to contend with the ball is because Alisson has pushed him away,which is way more contact than is then made by akanji in the challenge. I get why it’s disallowed but it feels really soft.
Oof, this doesn’t fit the narrative that Arsenal and Liverpool fans have been pushing
Arm pull. Next.
I love that people say it’s not a foul. Even my girlfriend that doesn’t even watch football told me “are you allowed to grab the guy’s hand?” Lol
Reminds me of Rodri and Casemiro holding hands a season ago 😂
Clear as day foul. Akanji knew what he was doing before Alisson even began to jump.
Alanji tried a similar ‘lean’ later in the match too, as if pushing a GK into across their own goal line with the ball in their gloves would somehow count. That was also correctly called as a foul.
Never know in the PL. Hard to criticize players for trying this sort of thing with the chaotic standards.
it’s the Pep way to rattle individual players. This is part of tactics.
I mean, why not?
What is the penalty for the outfield player for pushing a keeper? At best you get a goal, at worst you give away a free kick. Sure, you might cancel a goal that was going to score regardless, but that probability is so much smaller than forcing an undue goal.
Clear foul
Absolutely incredible amount of morons in here without a clue about the rules of the game.
If this is foul then joelinton against arsenal is foul too. I say both are foul.
See, calling out PGMOL does make a difference, no everybody do it
Corrupted. The contact is extremely soft. Refs are corrupted. So fking dirty
Lol, the audacity of this comment.
LiVARpool strikes again
liverpool literally had an onside goal against spurs not given you stupid bastard.
Wasn’t it also the on-field decision…? :D
Despite being a foul, why is Cias complete alone?
I think City “fans” don’t quite understand the sport here.
Mad that this sub seems to be a place of sanity on this. Watching the match I didn’t think for a second it wasn’t a foul. But the more I read the more journos and pundits keep saying it wasn’t? Just read Jamie Jackson in the Guardian and he doesn’t even seem to comprehend why the goal was disallowed. Doesn’t even mention that the keeper’s arms were being grabbed before and during the cross?!?
Am I going totally crazy, but hasn’t that always been a foul? At least in the past few decades? I’m pretty sure in the 1800s it would have been a main tactic, but imagine it was fine still? Surely then every team would just have two players grabbing an arm a piece on every cross if it’s legitimate. They don’t because it isn’t. You can’t grab a keeper’s arms, I mean that’s just fucking basic shit, surely? Am I missing something?
What you may be missing is Jamie Jackson is a cockney manc who hates Liverpool and writes like he thinks it’s a United fanzine.
If this was against united, city get that goal.
