three handballs

I saw one supposed 'handball', and nothing of the sort (upper arm pegged to trunk of body). Can't opine as to the other two.

Two were pretty easy calls to make, drastically affected the flow of play, were made by the last defender and stopped the attack. Completely should have been called. One was purely incidental, had no affect on the outcome of the play, and was very hard to see without replay, so I was fine with it not being called.

I saw one definite handball (when the guy reached down to the ground and hit the ball) and another penalty when the guy backed in under Milner when Milner jumped straight up. Both of those were 100% penalties and should have been called.

The one you're speaking of absolutely was not upper arm pegged to body. He moves his arm out towards the ball as its being put into the box. He then steps in front of Firmino making contact and sending him to the ground. It could've been called for either infraction.
