When you think about it, there probably should be some kind of codified rule in regards to a cutoff for watering the pitch prior to the match. Given the danger to player safety as well as the integrity of the game that tactics like what Liverpool employed yesterday could cause, it should probably be banned through some sort of protocol.
Pool players slipped less, but they definitely were affected by it. Plenty of unforced mistakes when they were pushing forward simply because they weren't able to position their bodies properly.
If you want to complain about overwatered pitches, something that affects both teams, then take it to whatever God you support because it's just a consequences of too many games played and being on winter.

Those sort of poor quality pitch tactics are something you expect to see when travelling to a third division club, not one of England’s elite.
Karma has it that the injuries went Liverpool’s way but Saka easily could’ve been a victim, look at his slip during the Tsimikas one.

Personally you're being a bit harsh on both.

Imagine being able to bring on a similar player in quality as Martinelli (eg, Neto) on to a game like this. That's where we're short imo.

How was that chance created? Because Ødegaard and Zinchenko crashed into each other due to the slippery pitch, that in itself was luck.

I wouldn't go that far, but Martinelli is not quite on his game & Zinny was caught once (which led to the goal). Not atrocious but we certainly need them to do better.

Not sure it affected them as they knew the score.
God? What are you on about?
Karma is that 2 of their players are now out, injured.
Never mind.

I'm sure the pitch was overwatered on purpose. Their ground staff are entitled to do that too. They did it against Real Madrid in the CL also.
It's not to try and make the opposition slip over, obviously that affects both sides.
It's to try and disrupt the shorter more intricate passing style we have and Real had. They're a bit more direct and the ball holds up a little more.

That ball where Jesus (IIRC) plays Saka through on goal in the first half on a "regular" pitch has Bukayo clear 1v1 on Alisson.

You mean the handball that Ødegaard only did because he slipped on the over-watered pitch?

I hear they're looking to sign Torville and Dean in the January transfer window

Yeah. I saw a video of Saka falling and his knee joint properly hyper-extending. He could have been seriously injured

How did this guy even break his collar bone from that interaction? He needs a DEXA scan to check him for osteoporosis because that is a typical harmless fallAs has been said Saka was close to being seriously injured....
