Irritates me when cynical fouls like DB’s a few minutes ago don’t get yellow cards and the commentators suggest it’s a good decision because we don’t want to “ruin the occasion”.
I’ve generally been really impressed with our players’ attitude this season.The tactics look hopelessly naive and yet they’ve kept plugging away and produced results like the 4-3 against Liverpool, or the 3-2 against Villa.
As for Rashford, he...
One of these players was playing as a false 9 for a team who got dominated all match, whose midfield and defence struggled to beat the press and whose tactics were primarily to play all-out defence anyway (which they managed successfully)...
Is that including the presenter trying to argue that it’s a penalty because Kambwala “clothes-lined” the attacker after the initial trip?
To me, the handball is a penalty. It’s not high enough to be “shoulder” and he obviously moves his arm...
The one yesterday was an obvious, if unfortunate, penalty. When it rebounds, he instinctively moves his arm towards the ball. Once he successfully connects with it, it has to be a penalty.
It was bizarre watching the first half yesterday and reading the match chat:
Rashford plays a good pass - nothing
Rashford loses the ball once - “get this guy off”
Not really doing much when he comes on presently. 20 minutes yesterday and I don’t recall him doing anything. With Bruno looking back in some form, hard to see him getting any starts for the rest of the season, unless ETH drops Casemiro.
