I think it is quite consistent : the VAR folks didn’t see enough to overturn the on field referee’s decision. Looks like arm+arm pit.
Villa are club in a big a city. Jack had that throwback maverick appeal.He’s never been anything special in his career, I really didn’t understand where the hype came from.
That's the point to be fair. If they don't deem it as conclusive they just go with the on field decision from the ref.If you have to watch a replay 20 times then it’s not conclusive. Absolutely ridiculous.
Media created a massive hype train about him when they wanted to get him in to the England team that people bought into, then he got in the team and everyone realised that he was nothing close to what he'd been built up to beHe’s never been anything special in his career, I really didn’t understand where the hype came from.
But it wasn’t. We have seen it almost consistently that when the ball hits the adducted arm, the decision is a penalty.I don't get it. How's he denying City any advantage ? Had his arm been beside his body it would have hit it. Such a weird decision
I always thought if it hit body and bounced onto arm they were told not to give it.I dunno, it did hit his arm eventually with his arm raised, so it makes sense to me.
Mane and Salah away for a month. Could be interesting.Seems like it's gonna be Liverpool's year again. Others are faltering, while they're on a tear. Sad.
There has to be a clear and obvious error, I don't think it was a penalty. But if a VAR official watches it over a dozen times and still isn't 100% certain, then how can he overturn an on field decision.I just don't get how the FA could fine Wolves for now talking about this.
This needs to be brought up - you can't have VAR and make such an obviously biased choice.
Are these the most delusional feckers when it comes to football? Even RAWK-ites are not that far gone.At least City fans will be upset today. They’re only happy when they can pretend there’s an agenda against them.
I'm astonished that anyone thinks it is a penalty.I’m surprised to see so many saying it’s not a pen, he has his arm in an unnatural position, then brings it down when the ball comes toward him. He needs to keep his arms down and step his body up to the ball in that position I thought.
This might seem like an excuse but honestly he just doesn't seem like a City possesion player, I think some people were questioning this before.Grealish has the benefit of, not only being English and a clear fan/media favourite, of not exactly being a great, or renowned, assists player or goalscorer.
He just needed to be 'fancy' with his dribbling or produce the occasional silky skill.
So the expectations on him were kinda middle ground ,in that regard, even before he joined City.
Christ, all we got throughout the Euro's was how great he was at falling over and winning freekicks.
Glad its not just me that thinks this.Grealish gets so many excuses made for him, he was bought for a 100m, lets all remember that, he's not been at all near half or even quarter of that. He's been poor if we are being honest, still time to turn it around of course but he's been nothing special at all.
Why though? It’s not news that you can’t defend a cross with your arms in the air, then when it hits that body part it tends to be given. I can’t understand why he had his arms like thatI'm astonished that anyone thinks it is a penalty.
Because the position of his arm is irrelevant when the ball didn't hit his arm.Why though? It’s not news that you can’t defend a cross with your arms in the air, then when it hits that body part it tends to be given. I can’t understand why he had his arms like that
What does that even mean.Let’s see if Klopp goes after city like he did against us.
I agree. Moutinho was stupid tbh. The players should know better in these situationsWhen a player hangs an arm out like that they rarely get the benefit of the doubt
When Klopp moaned about us getting pens and then we barely got a pen since.What does that even mean.
I think Grealish takes too many unnecessary touches (on the ball).This might seem like an excuse but honestly he just doesn't seem like a City possesion player, I think some people were questioning this before.
It's a bit like Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Barcelona, just didn't fit the tactics and flow of the team.
