His foot bounces off the top of the ball and straight into Henderson's standing leg. He is fully (both feet) off the ground when making the challenge. There is force involved (he jumps in). I'm certainly not suggesting any agenda against Liverpool, nor attempting to undermine the result and the WH performance, but as a defense of Klopp from accusations of groundless moaning. That is a fucking horrific tackle that could have done serious damage. He's very protective of his players. It's a red every fucking day and any argument otherwise is beyond one-eyed.

As you say, his foot bounces off the ball. He's not gone in with both feet off the ground and out of control, it's unfortunate he's made the contact he has.

I'm still a bit pissed off with the VAR penalty reversal at goodison park, tbh. Crying out for those sweet, sweet points at the moment.

We're not going to achieve much by going back and forth on this, but I'd suggest he wasn't fully in control if he missed the connection he was presumably going for to the point that he flew over the ball with both feet off the ground and into Henderson's legs studs first.
