i have absolutely no idea why the second penalty was even awarded. Even my Man Utd friend was totally baffled.
As for the third goal, wasnt lukaka in an offside position???
but we didnt play well and suarez was guilty of missing all those chances...
We deserved to lose but not 3-0!!!

1st goal was the defence did not clear the ball away from the corner... it was cleared to Gera instead.
1st penalty (saved)..... Long was shoved in the back by Agger (using his forearm so as to camouflage the foul but did not fool the referee) when both were chasing for the ball..... the red card was because Agger was the last man and Long was in a goal scoring position.
2nd goal (penalty) was because........ sorry I did not see this part
3rd goal ..... Lukaku could not be offside because there were Liverpool players between him and Reina prior to his header.
As for your claim that Borini was entitled to a penalty...... McAuley was stationary and standing his ground at the time...... it was Borini who ran into McAuley while chasing for the ball.
Liverpool deserved to lose because your defence was in sixes and sevens.... BR placed too much emphasis on attacking play that he neglected your defence.
And lastly..... dun forget it was Steve Clarke who was a mentor to BR and taught him the game.
