[Mrs Vert]

What a bent pile of fudging clam this all is

Its all so incredibly boring and predictable. Just do it to ourselves all the time

 

[billyiddo]

Can't pass Can't tackle, what a signing

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

Looked like he slipped in the ground

Yeah. Slipped because his studs got caught in VVDs Achilles

 

[Muttley]

That's highly inaccurate.

The ref is a fudging cheat. There's no amount of ineptitude that can account for his performance this far, this is just flat out cheating.

PGMOL are as corrupt as you come.

 

[Baleforce]

the defensive effort from Kudus there was embarrassing

 

[Yiddo]

They have played it through the middle of us with ease time and time again.

 

[Rorschach]

Nah we are brick

The two are not mutually exclusive

 

[SpurMeUp]

It's definitely intent.
He's not slipping.
It's not 50/50
He's not near the ball.
He just racks his studs down the calf.

He's an absolute Muppet

My issue is with the on field review. It’s for anything that isn’t clear, but once referred onfield, that’s it. Decision made. When VAR is supposed to help with clear and obvious mistakes. A yellow wasn’t a mistake. It was an ‘orange’ card. Yellow was the onfield decision and essentially okay.

What was the other game where we had another on field injustice?

 

[Bishop]

I’d have looked for it if it was the other way. It’s an awful, stupid tackle. Really fudging stupid.

He gave the ref a decision to make. He can have few complaints. In today’s game, you can’t do that.

Football just seems soft to me these days. If that was against us I wouldn't want or expect a red. It's clumsy, but to send him off. Really harsh in my opinion.

 

[MrScottSpur]

Can't pass Can't tackle, what a signing

No where what we paid right now

 

[Yiddo]

the defensive effort from Kudus there was embarrassing

He’s lazy and he isn’t very good imo, he has slowed down every counter attacking opportunity we have had.

 

[billyiddo]

It's definitely intent.
He's not slipping.
It's not 50/50
He's not near the ball.
He just racks his studs down the calf.

He's an absolute Muppet

Studs up, from behind, straight on to the opponents leg, nowhere near the ball

Stone cold red

I don't mind as long as its consistent across all PL games.

But it isn't.

World class at pulling the sulky face though

 

[Baleforce]

He’s lazy and he isn’t very good imo, he has slowed down every counter attacking opportunity we have had.

had he been hustling to backup Muani he'd have picked up Allison's fumble too, but he wasn't moving

 

[monkeybarry]

Might be a red card Neville but it's not malicious youclam

I think it's worse if it's not malicious.

It's not a slip.
It's not a reaction.

So it's either malicious or lacking in any thought and responsibility whatsoever.

 

[Yiddo]

How much did Xavi and Kudus cost?

 

[DeanoAustin]

Football just seems soft to me these days. If that was against us I wouldn't want or expect a red. It's clumsy, but to send him off. Really harsh in my opinion.

To me, it shouldn’t be a red but in today’s game, it gives the ref a decision to make. The fact he did it in their half when he had no chance of getting the ball is mind boggling. He has no one to blame but himself. He’d been dogbrick in the game so I’d imagine there was some frustration built up.

Shame as we looked the better of two poor teams before that.

 

[MrScottSpur]

How much did Xavi and Kudus cost?

Way tooooo much

 

[Bishop]

Genuinely think it was just clumsy, I can't see that he really thought he should try and rake his studs but I guess we'll never know what's going on in his head.
