I reckon Klopp might get sacked before he leaves.

Adebayo back on the bench for Luton today. That's not good. He's a real weapon for them.... brings the same vibes that Taiwo does for us

Anthony Taylor up to his usual standard I see
What's the ref doing?
Goalie catches ball, ball is live.
Goalie throws ball forward, ball is live.
Attacker approaches, ref calls dead ball.
Wtasf?

Player should have scored and let them look at in on VAR

They'd still be scratching their heads when the season ends.

I can explain what Taylor just did there if you wish.

It’s almost like this ref is incompetent, and VAR no better.
The only really outstanding question is: how are they going to engineer European football next season for ManUnited?

I really am tempted to just go cycling until 5pm not feeling like the constant refreshing and panicking I think a quick glance at 5pm may be better 
Just seen another angle of the Antony Taylor intervention -
When areola catches the ball, the ref is clearly signalling advantage.
Keeper gets up, referee clearly signals "get on with it".
Areola throws the ball...
Ref stops the game just before Liverpool player gets to the unguarded ball.
@PynchonForest - indulge me, please.

Lol - 5live's Pat Murphy was going through the line-ups and said "Adebyao's on the beach for Luton....." made me chuckleAdebayo back on the bench for Luton today. That's not good. He's a real weapon for them.... brings the same vibes that Taiwo does for us

Sure. There is an unwritten law, called law 18. Smart refs apply it to try and get out of controversial decisions. Refs are part of controversy enough without adding more fuel to the fire. So, Areola fouled, Taylor realizes he has the ball in his hands, applies advantage. This is a common thing to do as the keeper has the option of throwing, punting, or putting it down and playing it. Bearing in mind there are 60K or so people in the stadium, making noise. Areola throws ball out in front of him, much like he would if he was given a free kick. As Gakpo runs forward towards the ball, Taylor realizes what has probably/possibly has occurred and blows his whistle. Smart move. Now, let's say Taylor digs his heels in and allows Gakpo to score. What are the headlines about tomorrow? What will be the singular talking point post match? Did Klopp say anything about this incident post match? Did the commentators make a big fuss about it? The answer is no, of course. At times applying common sense (and understand that "common sense" isn't a colloquialism I am particularly fond of), particularly in situations like this, is the smart thing to do. 99% of teh time, when something a bit weird happens, there is a bray for about ten seconds, and then it is forgotten. But if you fail, as a referee, to recognize that moment, they'll still be talking about it in 2 or 3 days. Easy choice.
So why did Taylor signal "get on with it" ?
Chants of "f*** VAR" and "We want our football back" at Molineux

Clutching at straws at least Everton and West Ham are two teams that ought to be able to handle a player like him.Adebayo back on the bench for Luton today. That's not good. He's a real weapon for them.... brings the same vibes that Taiwo does for us

Just paid a brief visit to a scouse forum - they are incandescent. It’s just like being on here. Bear in mind that 5 minutes earlier Taylor gave a goal kick when a Wham defender put the ball out for a corner. Even Fletch sounded a bit gobsmacked. No intervention from his mates at Stockley Park of course.
