Better safe than sorry it seems.

Anyway maybe Smith-Rowe can make himself valuable and Martinelli can do what he was doing last season. Or maybe not, but expectations for this match are about as low as you can get without venturing into hyperbolic hope they lose every game get relegated and put into admin because something something hate the owners, hate the players, hate everything etc etc.

 

[robfosters]

We’re looking better already with the youngsters in

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Well this is a thriller ..

 

[The_One]

penalty

 

[sneakysnail]

Well this is a thriller ..

Yeah high tempo but not much quality in the final third.

 

[McBain]

Solid dive that, 10/10 for cheating.

 

[manic111]

Clear pen imo, he clips his heel twice before Tierney pulls his foot back

 

[The_One]

Solid dive that, 10/10 for cheating.

how many times does he have to clip him?

1 - 0 Laca

 

[Jimbeam3678]

How has VAR not reversed that decision. That’s comical, hopefully liven the game up.

 

[Azza]

That's a dive. You can see he drags his right foot before any other contact.

 

[mmj_uk]

Yeah that should have been overturned and booked for diving, he was dragging his right foot before any contact even occurred.

VAR is ruining football in the same way the stewards have ruined F1 they seem to just make decisions based on what they believe to be best for entertainment going forward. This match was dire prior to that.

How has VAR not reversed that decision. That’s comical, hopefully liven the game up.

He kicked the bottom of his foot and he went over, it’s a clear pen.

 

[fez]

And we wonder why cheating and diving is rampant in the PL. We actively encourage it with decisions like that. Awful.

 

[manic111]

That's a dive. You can see he drags his right foot before any other contact.

He kicks Tierney's heel twice before that happens though

 

[Andybtsn]

He did clip him but that wasn't the reason he went down so yeah a dive.

 

[manic111]

Werner's touch is horrendous. He's run the ball out of play three times now

 

[Kenai]

That's a dive. You can see he drags his right foot before any other contact.

Indeed, going down before he sticks his left leg backwards to get the contact

 

[Jimbeam3678]

He kicked the bottom of his foot and he went over, it’s a clear pen.

Take those Arsenal spectacles off Rob

 

[sneakysnail]

another in the dive camp here. has a small tab then just leaves a leg hanging back and falls over

 

[manic111]

He did clip him but that wasn't the reason he went down so yeah a dive.

How many fouls are actually sufficient to bring a grown man down? You don't need to be hacked to the earth before a foul is given
