This is what worries me about VAR. It worked at the World Cup, but the limited application in England has been a ****show. The broadcasters will be shouting about who the bloke in the box is and then he'll have to live with it. They're the same officials that we see every other week on the pitch and they know how it goes.
Oh we're going to get gubbed mate. Our defence has got more holes than a swiss cheese atm. Unless they have a off day, they could put a cricket score past us.
PL top scorer atm. He could well score against your lot. But keeping you out will be our problem. Our defence needed work anyway, but we've got a stack of injuries and suspensions. Against Brighton we ended up playing Xhaka, Sokratis and Maitland-Niles in a back 3 ....
Yep FA bottled it cos Arsenal and City next. If it had been Saints and Palace they would have probably done something.
A touch on the arm is enough for a peno in the land of the Kopite. I’m sure they’d be completely consistent if Lacazette went down under the exact same type of ‘challenge’ tomorrow.
I don't think it was a penalty but I also don't think it's a ban. He didn't go down without any contact, it happens every week pretty much. If it's a blatant dive with no contact whatsoever then yes a ban, but it's definitely not worthy of a ban imo. Salah does it and people have a meltdown, that's all that's happened here!
Are you saying that there has to be contact for it to be simulation? Not for me, that just encourages it mate tbh.
No but this happens all the time, yet Salah does it and everyone is talking about it... It went to a panel and they thought it wasn't worthy of a ban. It's that simple. I don't think it was a pen, but I'll take it.
Yeah of course you will and if you're top of the league then you have to accept that you will naturally face more scrutiny. I hate it when any player does it but all this bollocks about there being contact is horseshit that not only excuses it but encourages it imo.
