Because we have a condensed season.

Dont get me wrong other things domestically should also have happened.

Scrap the league cup for 1 year (and compensate FL clubs), or optional to play for teams that are in Europe who will play an extra 6 games than the rest between oct-December (just this year, mind).

No FA cup replays this year.

No international friendlies until 2022.
I’d agree with the majority of that for a normal season never mind this one.(y)
 
So Prob the sport with the most amount of money in it with very very rich clubs and owners are now not happy because the government hand out isnt as much as Rugby are getting
 
How bad is Soccer Saturday now- whilst individually the previous lot were not everyone’s cup of tea they worked as a group and clearly had a lot of natural banter etc - the new lot with the likes of Hendrie and Johnson are just poor and you can tell Stelling is deflated by it all

Too many big changes at once rarely work. One game at a time really doesn't help either.
 
I penalty, correct to overturn his decision, I’d even book the Villa player for simulation as the touch was minimal.
What I don’t get is even if you get the ball, it’s a foul if you follow through and get the man.
But Villas keeper did exactly that on Maupay in the first half

Peter Walton what a joke he is.
Not a clear error. It is an error as he got the ball but Oliver didn’t see that in real time.

Was a pen for me based on recent decisions where impact after the ball is being penalised , Id also have booked Trezeguet for his 5.8 effort. Arch the back, tuck the chin in and leap like a salmon

The big issue is the lack of consistency day in day out, week in week out

What about Villas keeper first half ?
Maupay one on one keeper gets the ball but followed through on striker outside the box.
That’s a red if those rules are strictly adhered to.
Your right about consistency there just isn’t any.

Citys been working on their defending again i see

I was thinking that myself !
I have never seen a striker give so many fouls away, he just dosnt hold the ball up.

Think that’s the keeper , if he stays on his line he makes it difficult for Son.
But bad defending half asleep.

Apalling isn't it?

Time to get Big Ron, Andy Gray, Keys and the boys back on a new Saturday show :ROFLMAO:
 
I've got it - the solution to some of our woes with hand-ball and VAR...

Football shirts without sleeves. That'll teach em to keep their arms by their sides.

No more ridiculous than what's happening week in week out at the moment :eek:
