Doesn’t count when it’s sportswashed clubs who are only relevant through corruption.
Cannot see City doing it this year. They let too much go who made the difference in tight games. Haaland only scores in low pressure games they are strolling. Norwegian Lukaku

Not that I could pick between Arsenal or Liverpool as to who will take it but City are there for the taking.

Let it go
As much as we like to criticise refs, I'm not sure he done much wrong. He clearly blows for the foul well before Haaland regains his balance, let alone plays the ball to Grealish. He's then looked to allow Haaland to take the free-kick quickly but then pulled it back as Haaland didn't take a quick free-kick but carried on playing with a moving ball.
I'm not sure he did, did he? I was only watching on my phone at the gym so am very willing to be corrected, but my perception was that he blew while the pass was in the air
He did. He clearly blows plus sticks out 1 arm to indicate the foul. The confusion comes from the 2nd gesture the ref makes, which I can only assume is him signalling to allow Haaland to take the free-kick quickly however he definitely awarded the foul to begin with.

On the clip I saw it looks like he blew twice. Once with the foul, then again when the ball was played which would fit with the above that it should have been a stationary ball for quick free kick. Difficult to get the audio clearly though. Not sure if anyone has a better version.
Hmm, the clip I've seen it looks like he goes to blow then...er... pulls out, before eventually going for it. But it's pretty unclear

I can't hear on the audio whether he actually blows however the whistle went to his mouth and his outstretched arm would indicate the award of a foul. Sadly this isn't a VAR issue so isn't likely to be covered in Webb's next VAR review thing.
Shame, I'm sure they'd shed real light on it if it was
Having watched it again, I can hear the second whistle but not the first so maybe he doesn't actually blow to begin with, despite putting the whistle to his mouth and signalling for a foul.
Who knows but just to add to the conspiracy theories, it was the same ref as the Spurs - Liverpool game

I knew we wouldn't beat Bournemouth. Can never seem to beat them away. Real missed opportunity this weekend.
