UEFA Champions League and Europa League Knockout Games **Spoilers**

If its an innocuous challenge it might not be given. When its studs up and late it is.

Why does Fernandes keep passing it to Fred in the box. He can't shoot.

 

[fez]

God I love European refs, you can literally just cheat in the most blatant way and get away with it. You can see why Spanish teams cheat so much.

 

[Robbo]

All over the place there.

 

[adam cool dude]

We are very poor.

 

[fez]

Thats some poor defending

Does your hair count as contact?

 

[Converge]

Hmmmm, we can’t get another penalty surely, how else can we score and win now

We could start by swapping Fred for a defensive midfielder and pushing Pogba higher. Fred looked good for a while with McTominay when they both played a lot but he still couldn't hit the back end of a barn door so giving him any licence to push into the box is pointless.

Again, I'm not watching nor seen the incident but the above sums about most of Utd's 100001 pens this season.

Its incredibly accurate and something I've complained about not being given before, however changing the rule now magically isn't what I wished for

Pogba has been played deep since the restart, can’t see it changing frustratingly.

So annoying having Fred appearing on the ball in positions where you'd count on Greenwood to bury it....

I think it is Ole's plan to bring him on in the second half when players start to tire. He had a massive impact in the last game.

 

[fez]

This sort of game is a prime example of why Ole isn't the right manager to take us anywhere but top 4. Tactically poor and laughably coached. Sevilla move well, attack as a unit and know what they are supposed to be doing. We just rely on our attacking players to muster something up once the ball is with them.

 

[adam cool dude]

Strong spell in the last ten minutes.

Rashford is just in horrible form I'm front of goal...mentally not there at all

He’s always been like that, he just has occasional purple patches.
Martial and Greenwood are far superior on goal.

 

[Mekrel]

They are never ever given.

Which is irrelevant, the rules state that's a penalty - if referees choose to enforce it or not doesn't change the fact it was a foul in the box. If that happens outside the box, the ref blows and gives a free kick. You can, and probably will, argue the toss over it but it's a late challenge in the box.

 

[Trusty]

thats never a penalty, seeing it in slow mo and whatnot

 

[robfosters]

I think it was definitely a pen

 

[Trusty]

I think it was definitely a pen

punishment doesn't fit the crime
