agreed

kinda - right now we're doing what Arsenal did last season and that's spunking needless points and giving the rivals a real chance. Arsenal never really got on track all last season. We need to go on a run. 11 games between now & Jan and most of them aren't too bad (City is in there). We need 32 points from those games

it looked like that but no-one seemed to appeal for that so I assumed not obviously nothing will be said in the press about any of this. Not that they were Diaz vs Spurs level of bad but 3 simple errors that all of us on the forum knew were infringements isn't a good look for a professional ref

Last season, early, we went 2-0 up, controlled games, won at a canter but didn't really rotate & it bit us on the a*** a little in spring (PSG game especially) This season we're having to play to 97+ minutes every week, rotating a bit but unless we improve a lot it'll bit us on the a*** in the spring

same thing really and no better decision making

play the first 11 to show up at the airport, tell them to figure it out themselves on the pitch

we'll likely see one next weekend and all else aside, Mac is goalside of the ball, but he's down injured so he's not able to step in to challenge, doesn't change that it should have been stopped but we've effectively lost a defender that way - had the ball bounced behind him it's maybe less egregious an error

head injuries there's not supposed to be any consideration, I called it straight away. They can be dangerous as f***

apparently he had 4 stitches in his head. He was treated for 4 mins.

I mean there's conclusive evidence that he did see it, and if he didn't then he shouldn't be refereeing Oliver didn't see it

VAR had a look, I'm sure had it been Mbueno the goal would have been disallowed

read that we put in 45 crosses - not sure if it was trying to suggest this was good or dominant or a criticism, coz I remember a similar stat leveled against the Mancs a couple of years ago and that time it was definitely not to flatter them, more a case of this is how desperate they are

if it was then it should have been disallowed

the xG was way in our favour, not sure how really, it was 3.2 - 1.34 Mo missed a sitter from about 4 yards but I don't really remember us working the keeper - the posts were long shots & Ekkie had a couple too but those would have been low xG

VAR can say what it wants, he was close to the incident and there's a shot of him looking at Mac from even closer as he runs by. The ref follows the ball (except when it's high in the sky), not a chance in hell he missed it and if he did then questions should be asked about where / what he was looking (at) Doesn't matter who's hit you - and they didn't know at the time either b/c if it was the Manc they disallow the goal, so they VARed that bit Casimero went through Macs ankles and won the FK - even the commentators were stunned absolutely - one team takes the piss at it, part of their tactic. Week in & out you'll see the game stopped for head injuries that aren't; when we actually get one, it's not f***ing stopped the f***ing mancs weren't even that f***ing good either
