Not sure if picked up on the coverage you're all watching but when the ref went to the VAR screen, the incident was freeze framed on the defender looking right at the ball as it hit his arm. I think it is a pen in todays climate however if the referee is seeing that frame the first time he looks at the screen then it has to have some bearing on his decision.

He shouldnt be and he shouldnt be for the sending off either. Certainly not in the PL unless its different in Europe.

Kane bags for Bayern again.

Make that a double.

I can't believe it's not a consistent procedure. The ref is shown the incident at full speed, and can then ask the VAR to replay certain parts in slow motion etc. It's so bizarre that the VAR can select the first thing the ref sees

Can't have arms, can't have feet. One questions what body parts footballers are allowed to have.

Heading along the ground like a slug.

Slug football.

Slug football.

That's why Maguire's back in the team

 

[Robbo]

Unpleasant fans throwing things at our corner takers.

 

[JamesH85]

3-3!!

Dalot was looking for his pillow.

 

[Robbo]

That's terrible defending, 3-3

 

[Calpol]

Dalot weak there and not for the first time. Physicality not his strongest suit.

 

[Converge]

If only Dalot had any kind of awareness.

 

[omnomnom]

Needing a penalty to win vs this lot.

[bazzastan]

[Jimbeam3678]

snigger

 

[Steedie]

Mount on…Christ…that’s the best we’ve got to win this game

 

[bingham67]

What a surprise who didn't think that was coming?

 

[Trusty]

Hojlund off? He's on a hat trick though...

 

[Thekwango]

Good lad Dalot. Game was starting to get a bit stale

 

[mid_gen]

Wouldn't be united if we didn't balance a period of reasonable play with a absolute defensive clanger.

 

[omnomnom]

Hojlund off? He's on a hat trick though...

He doesnt keep the ball well up top.

 

[adam cool dude]

Players haven't got the grit when the pressure is on them. We always collapse. I knew it was going to happen when we went a goal up.
