Hes not lol

Yeah NowTV is behind and he was holding the ball on the spot.

 

[Andybtsn]

Isn't Saka the main taker?

 

[Flaevius]

Isn't Saka the main taker?

Normally, and he took the last one when both he and Gyokeres were on the pitch.

Gyokeres' penalty success for Sporting was outstanding though - 27/28.

 

[Andybtsn]

Get him on the plane

 

[CliffyG]

Odegaard really needs to up his game. Unfortunately Eze hasn't been great either so not sure he'd make much difference.

 

[omnomnom]

Thats a pen. You can't just kick through someone

Haha cleared. Ofcourse it is. Someone explain that one then.

 

[ThundyCat]

Unbelievable.

 

[Andybtsn]

There’s another shocker of a missed pen in the Leeds game that VAR checked and ingored. Luckily we scored two mins later.

 

[CliffyG]

Another rough watch with a bit of luck to contribute to the win again. Can't keep this up really need to start playing well.

So Newcastle didn't get a penalty when Splash Gordon was cleaned out because VAR said it was a shielding motion (lol) and Everton weren't given one because it wasn't sufficient enough for a penalty despite giving the very same thing this season. Saliba volleyed him in the box...what more has to happen for it to be a foul?

Yeh both were pens. VAR hasn't changed the game much for the good apart from slowing it down

 

[Robbo]

Win today and we’re level on points with Chelsea who are 4th. Crazy really considering we haven’t been particularly good.

I think the loss of Mbeumo and Amad is going to be a bit of a nightmare, they have combined to be our biggest threat this season.

Time for Cunha and Sesko to step up, or we’re in for a tough few weeks…

I still don’t have much faith in Amorim.

 

[adam cool dude]

Mainoo not even on the bench.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Picked up an injury …

 

[Shamikebab]

That was the worst time Mainoo could have picked up an injury. No Case and no Afcon players. We're incredibly short on cover now.

And you'll still find a way to nick points off us.

 

[Robbo]

Picked up an injury …

Given recent events, I'm not sure about that one. Where would he have even started, in place of Ugarte? We'd get torn apart in midfield.

 

[adam cool dude]

Michael Oliver reffing. /Sigh.

 

[Robbo]

Good save from Lammens, but we look pretty open at the back...

 

[fez]

Dorgu just isn't good enough and isn't going to be. No quality on the ball and either puts in crap crosses when he doesn't have time or doesn't have a clue what to do when he does.
