Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez felt Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia dived to win an equalising penalty in his side's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford. Striker Fernando Torres gave the visitors the ideal start when he headed in Dirk Kuyt's cross six yards out in the fifth minute. However, referee Webb's controversially awarded a penalty five minutes later when Valencia went down under Javier Mascherano's challenge despite initial contact being outside the area.
Oh shut up, Rafael Benitez. I mean i'm sure he did dive but why do you have to complain about it? Diving is part of the game these days. I bet your players threw some of their own dives in there as well. And it happened in the tenth minute. That gives you eighty minutes to make your team get their shit together and score some goals. Instead you cry about it. Stop making excuses and just admit that you were outmatched. That really grinds my gears (Family Guy anyone?). Also, 20 bucks says that if Benitez were on the other side of this, he would be praising the ref for making a great call. If there's one thing i've learned in life, it's that you can't please everyone, especially managers of a certain Liverpool Football Club.
