  1. Some analysts are just pointless at times…. The guys are saying that arsenal did a great job with defending and closing spacing to stop city attack but at the same time they are saying city couldn’t create enough chances to win the game… which one is it? These fools cannot be pleased

  2. If Kyle Walker was not called by the ref, he is in position, if he is in position, that freekick is never played to Martinelli who is in space because Walker wasn't there, also the free kick was played 10 yards ahead of where the foul happened.
    Another Terrible performance by one of English football's "top" refs

  3. Even if the card is for the foul and not kicking the ball away, there's still a consistency issue. Haaland NFL tackled Saliba in a similar play earlier in the half and no foul was even called!

  4. Referee set the standard and precedence when he didn’t give foul to Halland for clattering into Saliba which was more dangerous than what Trossard did to Silva.
    Second as pointed out correctly , Silva was still on the floor when Trossard kicked the ball , the delay between whistle and Trossard kick was 0.83 seconds . so how can Trossard be booked for time wasting? Is Trossard a robot to flip a switch in less than a second after hearing Referee’s whistle.

  5. Looked at the 94th minute of the ManU v Liverpool game from 9/1/24. Liverpool commits a foul and prevents a quick restart with ManU down 3-0. And would you believe it, no card. Look at the same ref you refused to send Kovačić off last season vs. Arsenal on a really bad tackle on Odegaard because it would have altered the game. Or go back to Wolves v Arsenal this season when Mosquera choke-slammed Havertz. There's zero consistency and anyone defending this bs sending off for delay of game are insane. (Also, how does City keep getting so many gifted minutes in extra time???)

  6. I am getting really tired of players, managers, pundits and fans holding Officials to this impossible high standard they don't hold themselves to. They are human beings so yes can make mistakes AND sometimes there are times the Ref will use their discretion to keep the game flowing.
