Football: fixture congestion

A pity that we didn't take our chances to win, but relieved that we improved our play at least.  Luiz took his free kick* well but Mignolet has a decent claim that he couldn't hear the whistle blown.  Gini did well but Firmino's dodgy finishing really cost us.  Hopefully we can build on this.

Very generous of Spurs and Arsenal to drop points too and keep us in contention.  Bloody nice blokes.  But now it's set up for the Manc teams to close in on the top 4 spots.

*ETA: it probably shouldn't have been a free kick anyway.  Alongside United's offside equalizer, we've had some expensive refereeing decisions go against us, just as opponents (Arsenal & Utd especially) have been getting beneficial calls.

That David Luiz/Willian trickery was so damn Brazilian it hurt.

Mignolet wouldn't have got near that even if prior to the kick David Luiz had walked up to the post and sprayed a big X on it right where he was going to spank it.

Personally don't think Willian knew anything about it. He looked as surprised as anyone when Luiz went and smashed it.

Mignolets lack of concentration was embarrassing but yeah no keeper is stopping that.

Willian wasn't surprised at all, he was turning away to help Sideshow Bob celebrate even before ball hit the net. The way he'd been standing over the ball, rather than standing off, ready to run up as normal, was a significant part of the ruse. He knew exactly what was up and played his role perfectly.

How the hell did Liverpool still have 11 men on the pitch after Milner's shocker of a studs-up slide with over half an hour to go?

Liverpool aren't victims of inconsistent refereeing any more than any other side is. It all comes out in the wash.
