Ref and VAR have lost control of this.
Rice getting in Guiamares' face. I love Rice trying to rile him up.
how is that not a red?
Saliba's forehead can get more altitude than Raya's fingertips.
We've played well but lacking a killer pass in the final 3rd.
Qwiss it's a case of fine margins against a well drilled defence. There have been a few passages of play where we've moved the ball well.
Clrnc You're surprised?
Great match for the neutral. Not exactly sure where a goal is coming from for us.
The fact that VAR cleared that is astounding.
daredevil it's crazy. You could understand before VAR that they were just not seen but how do you review it and think "yeah that's within the laws of the game".
Blatant strike to the head against us not given, completely expected unfortunately
How on earth is that absolute dick still on the pitch 🤬
This is getting spicy so I think you have to take Havertz out so he doesn't get a red. Although Vieira isn't really a player for this battle.
Qwiss yep, based on how shit the ref is, and the crowd, first foul he is sent off
Think our midfield has been alright (for once). Jorg has been good, Havertz is having a less passive game (been decent other than the yellow card) and Rice has obviously been superb.
fucking seething at VAR hellbent on ruining our campaign every weekend
have to say we looked the more mature, organised team in that half.
rice and saliba have been superb. everyone else has been decent.
has the look of a game could be decided by a peno, setpiece or a deflection
Clrnc Insanity. But somehow this psycho always escapes punishment
Qwiss .
I can buy the referee missing it, but definitely not VAR clearing it. That's beyond shocking. I bet it was another. It's too late, the games gone on too long or some bullshit like that.
Put fucking mics on these cunts and live CCTV recording everything that's happening in the room and a 24 hour channel scrutinising them.
Think Havertz needs to be subbed at HT, he can't make another tackle or the ref will send him off. Shame as he's been a good focal point for us in that half, one of his better games. Pity ESR isn't on the bench, I think he'd kill Newcastle on the counter.
Pepe LeFrits I get what you're saying but I do think we need his physicality to help us break through. Not sure the alternatives will do what we need against this defence.
Don Pacifico yeah the midfield has battled well but we are lacking that bit of class going forward to give us the extra bit to grab a goal.
Need to keep this up though, we just need a moment, set piece maybe.
daredevil game has gone on too long only applies when it's to our benefit. the chelsea game was going on for like 5 mins while they checked.
