       Anthony Taylor, Liverpool vs. Tottenham

       A fascinating first-half at Anfield, how Liverpool are not level
       I do not know.  Some of Tottenham's defending is Sunday league
       level and Liverpool will win this game so don't panic Reds'
       fans!
       Anyway, some interesting calls from Mr Taylor to say the least.
       Spurs and their fans not happy with lots of questionable calls
       in and around their own half, two of them were most definitely
       wrong as Sadio Mane dived (quel surprise, does anyone do their
       homework on the players they are to officiate!?) and Winks
       peculiarly penalised for I'm not quite sure what having had his
       shirt pulled!!
       Having said that, two bookings correct for Sissoko & Rose, yet
       has not had so much as a word with Gazzaniga who has taken a
       little long on a couple of occasions.  Why do they all ignore
       time wasting that is so obvious, albeit not overly obvious so
       far in this one?!

       And Sadio Mane winning another penalty in controversial
       circumstances, very, very soft but also clumsily daft defending
       from the hapless Serge Aurier who it's hard to believe is a
       professional footballer.  Interestingly, that penalty incident
       is exactly the same as a couple of fouls on Danny Rose last week
       in their game against Watford which went unpunished and nowhere
       near as bad as Vertonghen's challenge on Deulofeu last week
       also.... these are interesting times from the officials, some
       hapless & ultra inconsistent decision-making.

       I thought it was a penalty - thought Taylor had a very good game
       overall and has been one of the best refs so far this season.

       I’d be interested to know why an initial word to Son for
       delaying the restart followed by a public rebuke for the same
       offence followed by a third instance didn’t equal a caution.
       Wouldn’t fancy my chances of avoiding losing marks at Supply
       League.
       I thought Mr. Taylor was a bit inconsistent with foul detection
       and didn’t deal with Tottenham’s gamesmanship well enough but
       I’ve seen him do better.
       A good game and a tremendous performance by the Spurs goalie.

       It wasn't at all soft, in fact I'd say it fell very much on the
       obvious side of obvious penalties.

       I have been a very vocal critic of Mr Taylor of days gone by.
       However, today I thought he was pretty good.
       With relation to TAGW - I think the foul that you thought was
       Winks being punished wasn't actually Winks but someone else and
       Winks just happened to be in the vicinity.
       The time wasting should've been stamped on sooner - 5 minutes
       into the game with throw ins and goal kicks but in the end came
       back to bite Spurs. The one thing I don't like about Taylor's
       game is - once that first yellow card comes out pretty much
       everything thereafter is a yellow card.

       It was the softest of penalty decisions, not sure it would have
       been given at the other end whatsoever.  Mane adds another one
       to his collection of debatable decisions in his favour, if you
       can't be good be lucky!
       Felt his foul detection was harsh on Spurs throughout until
       after the debatable penalty call when he decided to give most
       things Spurs' way, but by then too late for them to come back.
       Liverpool deserved the win for sure, aided once more here though
       by a debatable decision.

       He got kicked in the back of the legs? Clearly some kind of
       agenda against Mane so nevermind.

       Not a kick, a touch or maybe flick of the boot which Mane felt
       and fell over.  This incident happens week-in, week-out and
       players are told to get up.  This should have been no different!

       2 seasons ago when it was 2-2 at anfield, spurs were awarded a
       penalty in the last minute for a foul on lamela, softer than
       that one today.
       Perhaps you remember?
