I watched the indepth analysis on Sky sports last night provided by Carragher & Theirry Henry.
They both agreed it was a mistake and we should have had the ball - but then talked through the play until the goal - basically saying we had the opportunity to clear but didn't - which is of course true.

The one bit they didn't discuss and I haven't seen elsewhere was the taking of the throw-in half way through the time from Liverpool getting the ball back and the goal.
I saw it happen on Saturday - but didn't really realise the impact until re-watching last night.

Forest cleared the ball out for a throw-in on the halfway line.
The Liverpool player picked it up and looked to throw it down the line (their right wing) - we set up to defend that position. Then all of a sudden a different Liverpool player took the throw-in with a different ball 30 yards further back - and they attacked down their LH wing.
The player who had the original ball was left standing on the halfway line and just causually rolled the ball behind him and then ran back on to the pitch.
How can that happen - that just as much effect as the original decision. The Sky experts didn't even comment on it

I thought this Sky analysis was pretty even.


They call Tierney a bottler and make the point that Hudson Odoi should not have allowed Diaz to get the ball and kick it back to the keeper and how that move from Diaz on some level got all the forest players moving back into defensive positions.

This is a lack of street smarts and getting too emotional. And is arguably the worst of any of the following mistakes…

1) Neco not playing out with composure
2) CHO and Taiwo dawdling
3) Andrew and Neco not spotting that Alexis was going to cross

Callum could have just picked the ball up when the whistle went and waited patiently for the drop ball. Hopefully he will learn from this, and be more confident in future to know that the drop ball would come to him. He needs to borrow some of Morgan’s fight and channel his anger in the right places.

Still doesn’t excuse Tierney not having the balls to take on board what his 4th official told him and pulled the play back but that’s not something any Forest player can control.

Maybe be that’s what we’ve got Clattenburg in for - to run up and down the touchline shouting
“lads they can’t do that”
“Watch out he’s moved the ball that’s illegal”
“Pick the ball up Callum it’s our drop ball”

John Aldridge, and I apologise for using such awful language, had sold tickets for "an audience with..." at a venue in the north of the county.

He got wind of the simple observation that he would not be welcome in the county.

He cancelled.

There's not many people I utterly despise in football but he's right up at the top of the list, along with Milford, VanDenStock, Ferguson and a few others.

I’d sooner go to „An Evening with Adolf Hitler“ than an evening with John Aldridge.

And Hitler has been dead since 1945, so it wouldn’t exactly be riveting.

That is of course, „Mental Health champion and coach“, Steven Reid.

If there is something that has gotten that young man riled-up enough to protest, you can probably guess there might be some merit to it.

I dare the bastards to charge „Big“ Evangelos.

Go on, I dare you. That would be hilarious.

Not really complaining what they did talk about - it is more what they didn’t talk about.
They took the throw in 30 yards away from where the ball went and where a Liverpool was actually taking the throw in from.
That is a foul throw.
Forest should at that point been given a throw in and there is no way Liverpool could have scored at that point.
It was never even mentioned by the sky experts - although they were actually showing it on the screen behind them whilst they talking about Nino being frustrated
Dead right he was frustrated - total incompetence

Our resident expert ref says that they don't bother with throw ins these days (to take them from the correct spot and there is apparently no such thing as a foul throw ), it's just a means of starting play again or some such nonsense.

Persona;lly I don't know why we still have the Laws of the Game.
