He booked Fabiankski for minimal time wasting, and sent Soucek off for absolute wank. cost me 5 points there.

Apart from the elbowing someone in the face part.
If you think that was a red card, then genuinely you should get your eyes checked, I'm not even trying to be condescending.

Damn.
Glad I ditched Soufal for Messi and put Martinez back in.
Cresswell clean sheet's a bonus!

Come on mate it really wasn't that bad, one of the worst decisions made this season imo.

The definition on the FA site. I didn't see it as deliberate at all.

A player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible.

Oh it was accidental, and not "bad", but in a league where Martial gets a red for a little shove, an elbow to the face will always be a risk of a red.

That red card can’t stand. What an awful call that was. Not sure about Fabianski and West Ham even wanted to play for draw.. weird yellow.

Let's agree to move on.
It's clear who had Soucek in their team ;)

Yep, I just think the ref should show some common sense especially with the benefit of being able to see the incident over and over again. I'm not sure how it works but I hope West Ham can appeal against it if possible.

I'm never listening to 90% of the people in this thread again!

Y'all tried to convince me to keep Soucek ahead of bringing in Son. Thank feck I ignored that.

But y'all did convince me to Captain Antonio ahead of Son ya bastards!

Even though I have Son, I need him to blank just for my sanity :lol:

Why did I captain Antonio again?
Playing one of the crappest teams. Not a dreadful call, but a bit brave.
I'd have brought Antonio in if I hadn't realised Bamford had a double, and was playing a poor Palace. Antonio has Sheff Utd at home next too. Although surely Moyes will have to rest him at some stage. Maybe midweek v us though?

We all fell for that trap. I guess if there's a week to take a punt, this might have been it with City playing Pool, Spurs looking awful etc. Bruno seems the obvious choice in hindsight.

Thin options this GW & the stats suggested goals were coming.

It was a perfectly good decision. But good decisions don't always get good results. *shrugs*

Yeah. Easy to say with hindsight it was wrong but it was a sound decision at the time unlike the DCL one against Newcastle. Can't complain.

I will buy Rashford again. For 3rd time :nervous: .
Replacing him with Salah was a bad move i think.
But replacing Kane with Cavani was a perfect move.

This season, every time I give the armband to Fernandes he don't do anything.

This season, everytime I give it to someone else, he scores.

Don't worry. He is not getting armband anymore because we need him to keep producing in real life.

Yay Fernandes goal. Have to say I was tempted by a few of you lot to set Antonio captain, glad I didn't.

Still fuming at that Soucek red card - but can't complain, he has been my best asset in recent weeks, really helped me climb into the top 100k. Will he miss 3 games for that? May have to sell in that case.

This is why mostly we stick with the big boys like KDB, Kane, Salah, Bruno etc.
Anyone else can haul, but they don't do it regularly enough.

Hahah that Bruno goal was a huge slap in the face for me.

Damn your brilliance Bruno.

I moved captaincy from Son to Bruno literally in last minute today.

Would appreciate it if Bruno could leave the scoring and assisting solely to Rashford this half.
