Re the Gyökeres foul penalty, I think if he actually tries to score he gets a goal or penalty. Instead he tries to get the penalty and somehow minimises the clumsy contact.

On top of whatever mental illness causes a person to believe they need a billion dollars, once they accumulate it, the money quickly warps reality and smooths out their brain irreparably. Did a little thread about this.
It's very clear that unlimited wealth causes brain damage. That's not an exaggeration.
It's similar to other unnatural human conditions like solitary confinement (which is widely understood to cause mental deterioration) and other types of sensory deprivation.

Quite a suitable punishment really, if you fake a serious head injury to try and stop an opposition attack you should be forced to wear a water polo cap for the rest of the game.

That felt brilliant - having Liverpool’s ref in charge makes it worse during, but better when you win!

This is such a weird performance - execution and decision making are both completely off.

So I think Little gets the ball, then James kicks into Little’s leg and goes down. Not a penalty, but we don’t want VAR and I understand the ref giving it. *Shrugs* Just bad luck.
