GWT: EPL - Matchweek 23

What Amorim actually answered:

"You can see on the bench we miss a bit of pace on the bench. But I would put Vital before a player who doesn't give the maximum every day."

I mean, sure, they’d likely be higher if they were totally healthy. But that’s almost beside the point getting bombed by Leicester with the XI they did have.

Part of it is probably the fact that, anyone else they bring in is not going to lift them up right now, and it's not like he's lost the room, so there isn't really any reason to rush

FA rescinded the red

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

A good time to ask why var didn’t

FA rescinded the red

But PGMOL said it was the right call

The state of refereeing for this league is crazy. Not that it's anything new.

I’ve investigated myself and I didn’t do anything wrong. So move on

I'm imagining Howard Webb looking at a printed out excel sheet (no way he knows how to use a computer):

• Red cards in games refereed by Michael Oliver
  • Arsenal - 8 red cards in 62 games
  • Liverpool - 1 red card in 60 games
  • Man City - 1 red card in 64 games
• Arsenal red cards under Arteta
  • Premier League - 19 red cards in 195 games (1 every 10 games)
  • Champs/Europa League - 1 red card in 41 games

"Yeah that seems right, no issues with the best referee that we've got here in England"

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I just think he’s ass but ya

If either Oliver or Anthony Taylor are reffing United's game, the fan's expectations drop even lower. Those two are bound to make the game about themselves.

This is my latest favorite example of how backwards it is



Know we talked about bit about it last year

 

[Epictetus]

Honestly the VAR not reviewing was worse than Oliver
