‘The more I see it.’ Robbie Savage claims he’s changed his opinion over Liverpool’s penalty shout against Manchester City.

Liverpool drew with Manchester City on Sunday, and the game was not without controversy, as it usually is.

Indeed, Jeremy Doku‘s last-minute follow-through on Alexis MacAllister was a major source of dispute on the day, and there were strong calls for a penalty.

Robbie Savage believes Liverpool should have had a penalty.
Savage reviewed the event with Chris Sutton.

“The more I see it, Chris inquired, and I didn’t believe it was a penalty. However, the more I see it, the more I believe it is a penalty. “The foot goes into the chest,” Savage explained.
Tough one.
This is a really difficult decision to make.

On the one hand, Doku kicks Mac Allister, but on the other, he was attempting to play the ball and was successful.
Indeed, Jeremy Doku’s last-minute follow-through on Alexis MacAllister was a major source of dispute on the day, and there were strong calls for a penalty. If it had been the other way around, we believe Liverpool fans would have had a different perspective, as would  supporters.

Penalty rulings can be subjective at times, and this one would have been issued on another day with a different referee.
Frustratingly, this is a refereeing judgement that might decide the Premier League title, and if Liverpool finishes a point or two behind the leaders at the end of the season, this topic will resurface.
