Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [8th - 13th December 2017]

[Combat Fighter]

Nice dive. Typical of a Man U player.

 

[fez]

City's best CB and only LB aren't important?

Not when you have the backup city do. And stones isn’t that good and mendy doesn’t change City. We are missing Pogba so the equivalent player would be De Bruyne.

Stupid from Herrera. Can’t have any complaints

 

[BaZ87]

If he doesn't see that dive he has no place refereeing a game.... but then it doesn't take that decision for that to be obvious, very poor ref.

Iirc from the replay, his view was blocked by a player. Difficult to criticise him for that.

 

[McBain]

The big question is, where is super Marouane? Injured I guess?

Not really, it's his job to be in a position to see the ball. If he can't even do that, what chance has he got. I'd have to see it again if a player has just run in front of him at the last minute I could sympathise a bit.

 

[ThestigGT999]

If we were Liverpool we would have got a pen there

City don't have back-up for Mendy which is why a midfielder is playing at LB and Stones has been excellent this season, far and away City's best defender and pivotal to how they play.

 

[McBain]

Awesome goalkeeping from Ederson. Lukaku has to score though.

 

[Purdy]

Shocking finishing that, keeper did well standing tall though.

 

[Azza]

wowowow

 

[Mark1989]

Having Pogba does mean you'd win the game, Utd have also spent fair bit past few seasons,

 

[ScottyJKB]

How did he save that!?

 

[BaZ87]

Not really, it's his job to be in a position to see the ball. If he can't even do that, what chance has he got.

There are some physical limitations to this though. I'll wait to see it again but at the time I can't recall thinking he was in a poor position - it was simply a case of somebody running in his eye line. There wasn't much he could have done from what I remember but I'll wait to see it again.

 

[sigma]

I see all the Utd haters are vocal today. Surprise, surprise!

So if he didn't see it then they can take action against him after the game right? He's tried to con the ref after all.

 

[ScottyJKB]

Wow, surprised he got up after that first shot.

 

[Combat Fighter]

Indeed.

Aye I edited that in, if a player runs in front of him at the last second I can sympathise a bit but i'd have to see it again.

 

[nemtizz]

Superb refereeing so far.

Did he gain an advantage Shami?
