    That’s soft and I wouldn’t be happy if it were against us for sure, but the way Ali tried to jump and ended up going more sideways than upwards tells me it impacted him a lot more than what it seemed.

    Yeah GK’s are protected or you’d have pushes and shoves on them constantly to get advantage.

      I get what you mean but literally the reason akanji isn’t closer to contend with the ball is because Alisson has pushed him away,which is way more contact than is then made by akanji in the challenge. I get why it’s disallowed but it feels really soft.

    I love that people say it’s not a foul. Even my girlfriend that doesn’t even watch football told me “are you allowed to grab the guy’s hand?” Lol

    Clear as day foul. Akanji knew what he was doing before Alisson even began to jump.

    Alanji tried a similar ‘lean’ later in the match too, as if pushing a GK into across their own goal line with the ball in their gloves would somehow count. That was also correctly called as a foul.

      Never know in the PL. Hard to criticize players for trying this sort of thing with the chaotic standards.

      I mean, why not?

      What is the penalty for the outfield player for pushing a keeper? At best you get a goal, at worst you give away a free kick. Sure, you might cancel a goal that was going to score regardless, but that probability is so much smaller than forcing an undue goal.

    I’m a keeper and I would be absolutely rinsed by the rest of team if I claimed that was a foul.
