GWT: EPL - Matchweek 9

[maclean]

Dang it

 

[robertmac43]

Got to go for the third now. No point sitting back with this randomly put together back line.

 

[Savant]

what happened to Martinelli? he's regressed significantly

Hasn't been the same since his last injury.

FECK OFF

 

[robertmac43]

???????

 

[tlk]

???????

no idea

Liverpool getting a gift from the refs.

 

[robertmac43]

I'm baffled at that call.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

???????

Kiwior over the back of Szoboszlai was the call.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It’s a clear foul

 

[robertmac43]

How is that a goal kick?

 

[Ceremony]

I see the extremely bald new era is rolling on at Newton Heath. What a time to be alive.

 

[robertmac43]

Brighton and Arsenal blowing 2 goal leads in the same weekend.... What a time to be alive.

 

[maclean]

How is that a goal kick?

For real

 

[tlk]

Bhahaha.

That is all.

 

[Savant]

I mean if Szoboszlai hits the ground, no one has any question about that. People probably don't think its a foul because he stayed on his feet and didn't go down

That last kick 100% should have been an Arsenal corner. In the past I've said that should be reviewable and gotten laughed at, but here we are.

Thats a good point for LFC (especially in the context of that game) albeit not a great point.

And @maclean I cashed my draw. Thank you

If you told me 3 points in UCL and 1 point in London this time last week, I would have gladly taken that

We never had a 2 goal lead.

 

[robertmac43]

We never had a 2 goal lead.

Lol true. Too much cottage drinking this weekend...

We blew 2, 1 goal advantages. Darn.

 

[bluesfan94]

Regardless of whether you think it was a foul, the referees are directed to let the attack play out. They didn’t. A gift.

Just watched the replay of the Manchester United game.

Just an atrociously awful VAR intervention to give WHU a pen at the end of regular time. Inexcusable for VAR to get involved.

Two guys going for the ball, both of them miss it, their legs collide. The attacker throws himself to the ground and VAR decides to reward him.

It’s okay ETH will say it doesn’t count in his mind anyway. God he sounds like Roy Hodgson when Hodgson was at LFC

This doesn’t make sense. Since it’s a clear foul the play was stopped. ( the players in the vicinity continued to play and scored) but that matters not since it’s a foul.

The fact that he continues to be employed kinda leads me to believe he's also convinced those above him that it doesn't count.

They've played 1/4 of the season and United have 11 points and are in 14th place. They've won 1 of their last 5 games. They're on pace for 46 points.

Zero idea how he still has a job.

 

[Chimaera]

Would have liked 3, but all things considered, I’ll take a point
