CJGJ Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Tough start for Liverpool but they can get a result tonight They should get through the group stages but then again that was the story last season and only made it through very late on Chelsea even under the current circumstances have a good chance of getting through the group stages but the teams in that group are more equal than most The money is on again this season but the odds are half of 2018/19 ☹️ Edited September 17, 2019 by CJGJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's quite the norm at Napoli, the bottom tier provides a poor view although there are a scattering of fans. On going talks about a full stadium redevelopment there.

AlphonseCapone Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 There's something mesmerising about the way Napoli play. I don't know what it is.

There were probably four angles that it looked like a penalty, so you can understand the ref giving it. However, there was one angle that showed that it was a dive with the Napoli player initiating the contact. It was a "clear and obvious error" as the dive was missed by the referee and should have been corrected by VAR. If you stick with the "can understand why the ref gave the decision" thought process as not being a clear and obvious error, then there will be a lot of wrong decisions that will be allowed to stand. The absence of a retake of the Dortmund penalty was equally baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
