How can anyone call that a good performance by the referee is beyond me , descions aside a good referring performance requires control over the players and keeping everything in check and along the lines to stamp your authority(just look up how the bald Italian used to do it), he completely failed in those regards and had lost any semblance of control, his indecisiveness led to even further controversy and on top of that you've still got them suspect descions.
It was an abject performance and calling it anything but is a tad dishonest in my humble opinion.
He can't control what is out of his control.
The whole Arsenal team and their fans threw a hissy fit because a stonewall penalty was given against them. It's not his fault Arsenal are a bunch of children with a victim mentality. What is he meant to do, pull the whole team to one side and say "that's enough whinging lads, get on with the game you bunch of crybabies", which would only lead them to throw another tantrum.
If he's had a poor game it's because he's made wrong decisions. Nothing to do with having to control the emotions of a bunch of grown men.
Realistically, his only poor decision was the Ederson pen however it's understandable he wasn't sure in real time, the direction the ball travelled suggests he may well have got the ball. It's VAR that's failed him on that one, they should have give him the angle that shown Ederson make contact with the foot.
Edit: on 2nd thought, his other poor decision was not giving Silva the pen in the first place, but VAR bailed him out.
