How is that ruled out. No one touched it after Laca and they weren't interfering with Schmeichel.

I havent seen it but didnt Xhaka, standing in front of the keeper have to move out of the way?

Im only going off descriptions mind you.

 

[CliffyG]

When Laca heads it Schmeichel is already going the wrong way and Xhaka just moved out the way.

Been dominant this half, deserve a goal really.

Good to see out the half, time to re-group and get Vardy on and scoring as he does against Arsenal

It doesn't help that he's in front of him tho. They would argue he's impeding him. If Xhaka is moving out of the way isn't he blocking his view?

 

[robfosters]

Wrighty and Shearer both think that offside decision is a joke

 

[omnomnom]

Just saw the challenge, I'd be ****ed if that was a Liverpool player receiving a red.

Podence looks quality for Wolves today, causing Newcastle all sorts of trouble down the left.

Just seen this. He knew exactly what he was doing imo. He kicked him just before and as hes planting his foot his arms are already up pleading innocence.

Thats awful.

He moved out the way of the ball not Schmeichel. By the time Laca heads it Schmeichel already steps to the right away from Xhaka, he isn't impeded in any way.

 

[explicit4u]

Yeah looking at replays Xhaka is clear of him before the ball is heading towards the goal, should've stood.

The problem you have is that the gks position is influenced by where Xhaka is. Its harsh but expect them to double down and say it wasnt looked at or some nonsense.

Yes but Schmeichel will know hes there and positions himself accordingly.

 

[explicit4u]

Hector very lucky not to get booked for that.

Need to drop Laca for a bit, he's ruining every attack we have. Move auba central and stick Pepe on.

EDIT:

Surprise surprise, Vardy scores.

 

[Robbo]

Vardy

 

[omnomnom]

AFTV is absolutely wild right now.

 

[robfosters]

Arteta has to shape up soon. This turgid football is simply not good enough.

 

[CliffyG]

To be fair the first half was the best we've played in ages, just couldn't get the goal. Second half has been pretty bad though.

 

[The_One]

auba has been garbage since he signed new contract

 

[CliffyG]

Yep although how much of that is down to the negative tactics? Leicester didn't really deserve 3 points from that.

 

[explicit4u]

Yeah we've been much better attacking today, I'd only criticize Arteta for refusing to play Auba through the middle and persisting with Lacazette (who could be on a hattrick).

None of our natural attacking players look on form, we were relying on Tierney, Saka, and Luiz for creativity.

 

[The_One]

im thinking more and more the ozil thing has impacted the squad

 

[BaZ87]

This Ozil situation has been going on for over a year now, how on earth is it impacting the squad?
