Mane needed to be cuter there. Just hit it at the keeper. Either a little dink or take a touch and slide it past
To be fair, i think you should probably try and mark the leagues top scorer when he’s 10 yards out in the middle of the goal. Especially as you have 3 cbs
taa needs to be very careful. ref will have cards marked at ht if not already. one foul and he will be in book two no matter how innocuous and he will be off. Lovren on the other hand... Jesus Christ he's not in focused and looking at ball. get him off asap.
From the Laws DENYING A GOAL OR AN OBVIOUS GOAL-SCORING OPPORTUNITY Where a player denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by a deliberate handball offence the player is sent off wherever the offence occurs. Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offending player is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off Should have been off but why expect A. A referee to know the rules B. NUFC to ever be given a penalty C. Expect a decent referee to referee one of our games
This seems to be the thing with Lovren, Concentration. He's a good footballer or at least he would be if he paid attention and focused on the game. I get the feeling he's probably wondering if he left the oven on half the time.
We need a 3rd before half time. Ref will see his error of failing to send off TAA and will look to atone
