RocktheCasbah they're terrible in front of goal but we were very poor in that game and didn't deserve anything more than the draw.

RowJimmy

Qwiss we were very poor in that game

We were indeed poor. We gave the ball away cheaply and repeatedly, and our pressing structure was incoherent. But it was not because Chelsea played well and made us look bad. Chelsea are what their record says they are. (As are we.)

Clrnc

Hindsight is easy but we really didn't create anything meaningful in the Chelsea match till Sanchez makes the error. Otherwise it would probably be an easy 2-0 for them.

Qwiss

Thank fuck Matt Turner isn't with us any more.

KingslandBarge

Qwiss poor Matty, got bested by Salah's aura there for the third. Still think he's a good keeper, #2.

Nketiah > Rashford

Mirth

That pen seems soft - definitely the sort of decision that's not consistently given

lorddulaarsenal

Mirth but is absolutely a penalty. I hate seeing players grab and wrestle attackers like that. Make an example of it to stamp it out

Sicario2 - Tier 1

lorddulaarsenal
If that a pen then there will be 5 pens every game

Sicario2 - Tier 1

So soft man. That happens every game.

Anyway we need Utd to at least get a point here.

QuincyAbeyie

Sicario2 - Tier 1 you think defenders would just keep doing that five times a game if these got called?

Clrnc

It's soft as hell though, Rodri made the most out of it. Looks bad on slow mo but such soft tug never gets called

RocktheCasbah

Generous pen in my opinion, holds like that go on all the time, but then it is Michael Oliver on VAR.

Pepe LeFrits

RocktheCasbah wasn't even really a hold, he just put his arm across him. Crazy generous

Clrnc

Onana with a Ramsdale esque save

CPM

It always feels great to see United get screwed over by the officials at Old Trafford, after all the years where we (or anyone else) could never get a call there.

Personally I'll always hate United and Chelsea more than anyone else – Spurs, City, Liverpool, whoever. Long may their miseries continue, I'm enjoying every minute of it.

KingslandBarge

It's also cringe simulation from Rodri.

Qwiss

Only City get penalties like that.

goon

That VAR thought that’s worth an intervention is actually crazy.

Let me guess, the VAR official was invited to referee in UAE this week?

HomeSteak

goon Michael Oliver, he was there before our game vs City

RowJimmy

I would really like to see wrapping your arms around a player at set pieces called a penalty on a consistent basis.

goon

Qwiss

goon I'd say every club could show examples like that too. Insanely soft penalty.
