Peter Drury discusses what the VAR official stated following Jeremy Doku’s tackle in the closing minute against Liverpool.

Peter Drury has now shared what the VAR officials said when Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku tackled Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister late on today.

Although the game ended in a draw, Mac Allister and his teammates seemed incensed that they weren’t awarded a late penalty for a high challenge.

Jeremy Doku appeared to make contact with the ball first but then followed through to place his boot on the Liverpool midfielder’s chest.

And although VAR checked the incident, they decided there wasn’t sufficient evidence to overturn the on-field decision of no penalty.

Of course, this is bound to be a huge talking point in the aftermath of the game, especially in a match with such fine margins.

And had Liverpool received a late penalty, then they could have been catapulted forward in the title race had the spot-kick been dispatched.

That being said, Peter Drury was commentating on the game for Sky Sports and shared what the VAR officials said when Liverpool demanded a penalty.

Drury simply relayed the VAR’s message, suggesting there was no reason to overturn the tight call.

He said: “Word from the VAR, Doku played it in a reasonable position.”

It’ll certainly be interesting to hear what the likes of both Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola thought of the call.

It would be a surprise if Pep thought a penalty should have been awarded, but Klopp may well have a different tune.

And although the Liverpool manager would have preferred the likes of Luis Diaz to settle the game, he may feel as if his team were slightly robbed late on.

It’s definitely a contentious one, and the debate will probably continue into the coming days.

The likes of Peter Drury and Gary Neville seemed to think City could be in danger when watching the events unfold live, but VAR ultimately deemed there to be no foul play on the Liverpool midfielder.

Definitely one that will divide opinion, and it’ll probably be a fairly even split depending on which side of the title race fans are on.

That being said, Mike Dean also noticed something extraordinary that Darwin Nunez did during today’s game.

Gary Neville amazed by ‘perfect’ £10m Liverpool player during second-half against Man City

Gary Neville was left amazed by Andrew Robertson heading into the final 20 minutes at Anfield on Sunday as the Liverpool left-back created a brilliant opportunity for Darwin Nunez.

The Reds played out a fascinating draw with Manchester City. The champions took the lead in the first-half through John Stones. But the Reds equalised after the break, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring from the spot.

Both sides had glorious chances to win from there. Certainly, Luis Diaz will have nightmares about some of the opportunities he passed up.

Gary Neville praises Andrew Robertson in Liverpool draw
But Darwin Nunez was also denied by a point blank save from Stefan Ortega, who replaced Ederson shortly after the Manchester City goalkeeper brought down Nunez for the penalty.

The chance came about following a sumptuous cross from Andrew Robertson. And speaking on Sky Sports (broadcast on 10/3; 17:15), Gary Neville was full of praise for the Scotland international.

“What a ball from Robertson. Sensational cross,” he said.

“This is the Ortega save. It’s a wonderful ball from Andy Robertson. In between centre-backs and goalkeeper, perfect for Nunez.”

Reds still fighting for this title
Liverpool have had to deal with so many injuries this season. And it is surely fair to say that Robertson has not been at his very best when he has played over the last few weeks.

But clearly, the £10 million man’s quality is undeniable. Had Nunez been a couple of yards further out, he would have had an amazing chance to put Liverpool in front against the Cityzens.

Liverpool have not got the depth that their title rivals appear to have right now. But their players will be absolutely desperate to send their manager off in the best way possible this summer.

And having players such as Robertson at full fitness and sharpness again is only going to boost their hopes of getting across the line.

Announcement: Alisson announced his leaving Liverpool, He revealed where he would like to play…..

At the end of the season, liverpool has three goals to accomplish. They already won the carabao cup last weekend when they defeated chelsea at wembley stadium, and now they will try to do the same with the fa cup, the premier league, and the uefa europa league.

They will, however, have to solve a serious problem as soon as possible: injuries. During the last few months, many major players have had physical injuries that have prevented them from playing, and jurgen klopp has had to provide opportunities to young players to fill those empty spaces.

Among them are mohamed salah, diogo jota, darwin nunez, dominik szoboszlai, trent alexander-arnold, and thiago alcantara. And alisson becker. Just a few weeks ago, the goalkeeper sustained a muscle injury, and his recovery would take longer than expected.

In fact, dorival junior, the brazilian national team’s coach, has confirmed that he will not be available for the international break friendly matches against england and spain in march. Liverpool will not be able to use him for a long time either.

Although Caoimhin Kelleher has shown excellent performances every time he has had the chance to play, Alisson is a key part of the team and Klopp needs to have him back as soon as possible. The decisive stage of the season is approaching and the German manager wants to count on his best players. However, the Brazilian goalkeeper’s future could be far from Anfield Road.

What will happen to him?
This Thursday Liverpool fans were shocked by what one of the squad’s players said about Alisson Becker’s future. In an interview with D Sports, Alexis MacAllsiter revealed what is one of the Brazilian goalkeeper’s dreams for his professional career: “Alisson tells me that he would like to play at the Bombonera,” said the midfielder. The Bombonera is the home stadium of Boca Juniors, one of Argentina’s top clubs, and is famous for its unusual structure and how the chants of the fans echo from the stands. What is not clear is whether Alisson wants to play for Boca in the future or whether he will be happy to play in a game there sometime.

‘Far too strong’… Tim Sherwood says he can only see one team winning in Man City vs Liverpool

Tim Sherwood has said that Liverpool have no chance of beating Manchester City tomorrow.

After the two sides won their respective midweek European games, they are now preparing to face off against each other at Anfield for their latest Premier League meeting.

Despite both teams currently fighting to win the title, one pundit and former top-flight manager has claimed that only one side have a chance of walking away with all three points on this occasion.

Speaking on Soccer Saturday, Sherwood had this to say about tomorrow’s big game.

He said: “I don’t see Liverpool winning the game tomorrow, I really don’t. I think Man City’s midfield is far too strong for Liverpool’s at the moment.

MORE MAN CITY STORIES
“They need Mo Salah fit, if Mo Salah’s not fit and doesn’t play 90 minutes in this game or doesn’t start the game I don’t see them winning.

“I see Man City dominating the ball in the midfield areas, the likes of Rodri, [Kevin] De Bruyne and [Phil] Foden at the moment – just incredible, probably the form player in the Premier League at the moment.”

Even though Liverpool are above City in the table and have scored more goals and conceded fewer than City this season, it’s interesting to hear that Sherwood doesn’t think they’ll win, in addition to the fact that they have a very good record against the Manchester club at Anfield.

Interestingly, with Sherwood suggesting City will win the midfield battle on this occasion, they have had more touches in the midfield third of the pitch (10088) than any other side in the league this season.

However, only Bournemouth (193) have made more tackles in the midfield third than Liverpool (191) have in this campaign, which suggests that this may not be as big a problem for them as Sherwood thinks it could be.

‘Really, really fast’… Mohamed Salah says Liverpool have a ‘unique’ player who is lightning quickPhoto by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images
‘Really, really fast’… Mohamed Salah says Liverpool have a ‘unique’ player who is lightning quick

Liverpool are going to have to be at their best to take points from Manchester City tomorrow.

After Arsenal’s win over Brentford this evening, the Reds are no longer sitting top of the Premier League table. The only way to claim back their spot at the summit is to beat City at Anfield.

Thankfully, Liverpool are in fine form and have a great record against the champions on their home patch. They are also able to call on one of the best players in the division right now: Darwin Nunez.

Nunez has scored in each of the past four matches, netting a late winner against Nottingham Forest last time out. And speaking via liverpoolfc.com about the Uruguayan today, Mohamed Salah shared his thoughts on what Darwin brings to Liverpool.

“Kind of a different player,” says the Reds Egyptian King. “We never had that quality before [that] he loves to run in the space. He doesn’t like the ball much in his feet, which is unique [and] he’s really, really fast. He keeps looking at me because he knows I can get him the ball easily in the space and he can finish the situation.

“His numbers this season are improving a lot, which is great for us. I always try to watch him in training and try to watch the other guys, to be fair.”

Salah praises Nunez speed
Undoubtedly one of the things which makes Nunez most dangerous is his electric pace.

Liverpool have had quick forwards over the years. Salah himself was a real livewire in his younger years – and still is – while Sadio Mane was similarly pacy on the opposite flank.

MORE LIVERPOOL STORIES
But quick though they were, neither Salah nor Mane could match the sheer speed of Nunez in full flight.

It isn’t just his quickness across the ground which frightens defenders, though. No opposition side want to play against the 24-year-old because he’s always, always in the game.

Pace is one thing, but you’ve got to know when to use it. Nunez does. He’s become smarter in where to press opponents and no longer chases lost causes.

His finishing can at times be erratic but the fact that he’s able to get in positions that few other forwards can means that he’ll usually get another chance.

In terms of the City game, Nunez may actually be the ultimate weapon for Liverpool.

According to Steve McManaman, staff at Anfield have been talking the No.9 up in the lead up to the game. Given the way that City like to dominate the ball and attack, they do often leave spaces at the back. This could be perfect for Nunez to exploit.

Beyond that, you just get the feeling that the former Benfica striker is waiting to go up yet another notch. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, Liverpool have a striker who’s going to cause problems for years.

The two titans, Liverpool and Manchester City, will lock horns at Anfield Stadium in the Premier League this weekend. Both sides will give their everything and leave no stone unturned to grab the win. The much-awaited game could turn out to be a domestic title decider. The high intensity of the battle will make it a must-watch for the viewers.

Liverpool vs Manchester City: Talking Tactics
Jurgen Klopp will field a traditional 4-3-3 formation and ask his men to maintain the formation throughout the game. They will try to keep possession of the ball and supply to the wingers to either cut in or provide crosses to create goal-scoring chances. Off the ball, Liverpool will try to overload the defensive line and leave no gaps to exploit.

Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola, on the other hand, will order his side to play with a high backline. They enjoy the possession of the ball and will overload players in the midfield. City will try to move the ball quickly and produce some moments of magic apart from feeding Erling Haaland in the middle.

Jurgen Klopp could start ‘super-talented’ 21-year-old for Liverpool v Man City

With Klopp set to leave Anfield in summer, a 20th Premier League title would be the ideal send-off for the Liverpool manager. Victory on Sunday would put them a step closer to that.

However, City have history-making designs of their own. They would become the first team in English history to win four top-flight titles in a row should they triumph this season.

Although Mohamed Salah is set to return for Liverpool, there is still one major injury doubt, namely Ibrahima Konate.

Klopp provided an update on Konate’s situation in Friday’s press conference ahead of the match, admitting the centre-back will need a scan.

He said, as per the Liverpool website: “Ibou was rather positive last night [Thursday], he thought he made the right decision in the right moment saying it’s better I go [off].

“But how we know, that doesn’t mean a lot unfortunately. He will get scanned, definitely, [but] so far I don’t have the results of that. All the others are fine.”

Jarell Quansah could step in for Liverpool
Should Konate be unavailable for the game, Liverpool could potentially turn to Jarell Quansah alongside Virgil van Dijk.

The 21-year-old has risen through the Reds ranks over the past 15 years, going on to shine for the Under-21s before making his debut in August last year.

That seems like such a long time ago now, as he has made himself at home in the Liverpool first-team. He has made 22 competitive appearances for the Reds.

Quansah is a “super-talented” player who has more than proven himself for the Reds at the highest level this season.

Robbie Earle, speaking about Quansah, told The 2 Robbies podcast last month: “He looks like he’s got all the things that you would want for a top-class centre-back.

“Good size, good pace, good mobility, decent on the ball. Bit of presence about him.

“And he’s one of those who I don’t ever see too much drama around him, or poor decisions. He looks like a 26, 27-year-old who’s come in the team.”

City would be a huge test for him, but what better way to rubber-stamp his credentials as a bona fide Premier League star than against the very best?

Liverpool revealed as only club close to signing attacking midfielder with €150m release clause

Liverpool have come ‘really close’ to completing the signing of Georgiy Sudakov from Shakhtar Donetsk despite a six-way battle unfolding for the attacking midfielder, a report has explained.

Sudakov signed a new contract with Shakhtar last month, meaning he is now protected by a €150m release clause (equivalent to £127.7m), but various clubs across Europe have been queuing up for the 21-year-old.

According to Calciomercato, Liverpool are the ‘only’ suitors to have come ‘r
