The scoreline didn't surprise me. They're a better team. Liverpool are currently pants. There's no point in blaming the ref. We've all seen shite refs before. He was *****, but no crapper than a lot of others. Liverpool lost because they're not good enough. We have to be honest.
Diving, everyone does it, including Liverpool, so it's no surprise either that there was diving in yesterdays game. But, if anyone thinks that another ref wouldn't have given the Valencia penno, there kidding themselves. These days, once contact is made, there's is usually a pen given. We all know that. But, this diving business has been a plague on the game for far too long. It almost puts me off watching football at all.
Liverpool currently sit in the bottom three and it's no wonder at all, they've been terrible for the most part. Some on here keep saying that Liverpool are "playing well", but I just don't see it. There's no goals coming and there's a severe leakage at the other end. There's 10 goals against them. That's the same as Wigan. 5 less than Southampton and 1 less than QPR.
It's been a wretched season so far and I don't see any way out at the moment, regardless of Rogers' fine words. As I said before, if those words aren't translated on to the field, then it's just guff. I know it's going to take time to fix all the problems that the club has had over the last few years, but I honestly cannot see the building blocks yet.
The above isn't a rant, or a moan. Just an honest view as I see things at the moment.

If the player is pushed inside the box then a penalty should be given.
If people can't see why the ref gave the penalty then get new glasses.

Going by that logic there would be 20-30 penalties each game.
Putting your hand someone is NOT a foul, it's the referees job to judge whether the level of contact is a foul. In this case a fully grown fella shouldn't be knocked over by it. As Valencia was running the heel of his foot made contact with Johnsons leg, he fell, and I think it's fair enough to concede that this contact means a penalty.
