After losing to Liverpool at Anfield, Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard was not happy about the key episode that was the penalty won by Mohamed Salah.
He said after the game: "We’ve lost to a soft penalty because if you watch it properly, Tyrone [Mings] has been fouled first. The disappointing thing is that the referee hasn’t gone to look at it."
Gerrard will always remain a club legend at Anfield but understandably, the Liverpool fans could not agree less with the former captain.
Alan Bailey, Tribuna.com: "Didn't take Stevie long to start moaning"
scifiphichipsi, Reddit: "I love you Steven so I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that, and we'll both just go on our merry way."
Anfield_rocks!, This Is Anfield: "Normal chatter. Stevie is fighting for his team. If the shoe is on the other foot, Klopp would have said similar things."
Banta CT, Tribuna.com: "Steven Gerrard, as much as I respect you, don't complain about a decision which you know full well Mings tangled legs with Salah and caught the back of his calf. You'll always be a legend at this club."
MisterS1997, Reddit: "He has to lie otherwise people will get suspicious."
Red Dagger, This Is Anfield: "You know Stevie has become a proper manager when he moans about decisions when the ref was performing like the best defensive midfielder ever with how he helped you disrupt play for us."
steveyd, Tribuna.com: "Stevie, Liverpool should have had 2 more penalties given ask Andy Robertson, don't know what the ref was on, so come on, you lost to the better team."
Dewknot, Reddit: "This is one of those tricks that managers pull to take attention away from their team performance. Even Stevie could see how much we dominated Villa in every department. On any other day, we could have scored 4-5 against them."
Peter Zeevy, This Is Anfield: "A penalty is a penalty, soft is just an added cliched word that everybody copies in football. Stevie is certainly not ready to fill Klopp's shoes yet"
