I didn’t see a good replay to know, but given how…communicative…Martinez usually is, he definitely would have been screaming for it if he thought there was a chance he had his vision blocked.

The fact that he reacted quickly also would undercut any claim that the offside players had an impact on him.
yeah, I'm not sure he really realized it after realizing that it bounced off him back in for the o.g. I am not a gk so I can't claim to know if it really does change decision making for stretching out on the save. But seeing how the VAR has usually decided those are offsides, it feels weird to not call that.

The refs let Saka get hacked at just as much if not more than anyone else in the league. He's been getting less calls than he should if anything. Definitely not going down as often as Grealish.
the issue is always the subjectivity of refereeing. what's a foul in one game isn't in another. almost every player goes down softly in hopes of getting a call.

you probably watch more arsenal than I do, but whenever I watch them it looks like Saka is always going down at the softest bit of contact. Which is exactly what I saw with Grealish at Villa.

You could clearly hear that kick hit Azpi in the head on TV. Hope it's nothing serious.

No idea how you make 2 subs a minute apart lol.

Leaving foden that far out is criminal. Especially after he messed up a 2-0.

Then he puts on a cb?

I mean he definitely goes down easy sometimes, as do most players. But I honestly think the refs have let him get beat up by defenders this year more than awarding him soft calls.

Solomon getting into gear now. Great little player and he can finish with either foot. He’s coming off the bench, but have to imagine Silva gets him into the XI sinner than later.

Even 12 minutes of stoppage time seems low.
It was. He was down for longer than that and southampton were time wasting BEFORE he went down.

I don’t know how much longer the clock went for but it seemed like a lot more than twelve

I want my money back

ABK returns and Southampton wins again. Coincidence?

And Janelt scored in the 96th minute to give Brentford a point; while Schade got his longest run out, playing a full 30min today.
