Liverpool will be relieved at least that Alexis Mac Allister escaped punishment for his risky social media post comment to Cristian Romero’s celebratory post-match post.
The Argentine had appeared to question the integrity of the match officials involved (his comments translating to “Normal when you have 12 players” in response to “This team has great spirit, great heart. Always like this, all together”), though it would appear that the FA won’t be set to take action on such remarks, as was reported by David Lynch for This Is Anfield.
The Merserysiders have instead seen repercussions limited to:
- Curtis Jones’ three-match ban for a straight red card following his challenge on Yves Bissouma (changed from an initial yellow awarded by Simon Hooper prior to review)
- Diogo Jota’s one-match ban for a second yellow card (which a Premier League panel concluded he shouldn’t have received)
- Luis Diaz’s wrongly disallowed goal
- A £25,000 fine from the FA for ill-discipline

Jurgen Klopp will no doubt have been delighted to see the back of our ill-fated visit to the English capital, with a comfortable 2-0 win secured against Belgian outfit Royal Union Saint-Gilloise in the midweek.
Getting back to winning ways in the Premier League too in our upcoming clash with Brighton and Hove Albion on the South Coast would no doubt also go a long way toward vanquishing those post-Spurs blues and restoring the feel-good factor around our league campaign.
We can only hope it won’t be spoiled once again by inept officiating and poor communication behind the scenes at Stockley Park!
🤩 EOTK FPL Gameweek 7 Review 🤩: Disaster for Liverpool, captain Watkins? Injuries piling up…
He was never going to be punished unless the FA decides to take the insinuation of the corrupt media as a factor.
Saying 12 or 13 could also mean the players that were missing from Liverpool were a factor. How about the extra 2 players in the VAR bunker that did not know how to stop the match and correct the mistake only 2-5 seconds after they realized the mistake?
Gary Neville and Phil Neville were like cows grazing together not like McAlister brothers who are foot ball players with skills. The Nevilles are skilless like cows
So there’s no worthy comparison
So it has been a first.time that.brothers play against one another but grazing of cows together is common
