They will try to press and be physical for a little while. And the crowd will cheer every time they knock into us.
Merino down, elbowed in the head.
This intensity is unsustainable for 60 mins+
That's an elbow, surely worth a VAR check ?
I mean, have you known ANYTHING like it?
There goes our fourth striker.
Merino is tall, why's his elbow so high?
Cala up front ?
He's very dangerous in and around the box
That is a stone wall penalty. I'm sorry.
And some people on here believe we aren't reffed differently.. Lmfao
Lukazan just think about that Saliba one where he headed that guy
Nwaneri up top? Lol Calafiori? Even if poor Merino gets up can't imagine he will be much use 😔
Merino looks ok, i think he will continue. He looks like he just wants to get on with it now.
I understand needing your arm to provide a bit of leverage for the header but the force used...I dunno.
Don Pacifico A flap of the hand, forearm even, across the face in those situations.. Okay. But the elbow? That's a penalty.

I've never understood this argument. Doesn't matter to me at all why you commit a foul. Foul is a foul. If a player can't win a header without committing an infringement, that's their problem.
Decent attempt by Rice..
That co commentator is a wanker.
Ahhhhh what the hell was that stupid short corner there? Waste.
The fullback has one more of those Saka hacks before he gets booked.
They are pressing like psychopaths.
Coombs
I dont think they are pressing as hard as they did in the beginning of the game.
The intensity of the first 10 minutes has ebbed a bit.
