Never seen the match live ( golf)
But we never had anyone in the D for the first goal , I wonder why.
Mo is usually given that job, might have stopped the goal.

A ref once told me players are usually given a little leeway with tackles in the first ten mins while they properly warm up and get the speed of the game.
You often hear “ the sub is not up to speed yet” when someone comes on.
How true this is , is anyones guess.
But the Mane foul was dangerous.
I would also say Mount should have gone as well ! You can’t kick out at players on the ground like that!

???????bollocks.

Does anybody believe a word this clown says???

Stick to justifying touting tickets

I don't even know how it works .. I doubt he would do on purpose but if a player is unavailable due to international duties surely the ban would carry over

Wouldn't it be easier to check rules before making comment?

Sometimes no as finding the answer for that would take a fair bit of time and I was busy

Did Mount really kick out? If so, football really has become a game for snowflakes. His shin slightly brushed against his opponent as he stood up, almost like a gentle push with his leg if anything. It wasn't exactly Roy Keane on Gareth Southgate.

Violence means intent. So, are VAR now saying reckless and dangerous is acceptable, as long as it is not violent? The officials just make things up as they go along.

They are simply following The Laws and Rules, which state...

• Reckless is when a player acts with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent and must be cautioned
• Using excessive force is when a player exceeds the necessary use of force and endangers the safety of an opponent and must be sent off

It's obviously a matter of opinion in each instance as to which of the above applies though.

So, if VAR did actually say the challenge was not "violent", where is the word "violent" used in the laws? Surely they should have said there was no excessive force? If course, if they did that, they'd look silly as it was pretty clear it was very much excessive

Along with a lot of Chelsea fans I imagine, probably drowning their sorrows at the end of their title challenge for another year.

I'm sure Arsenal fans did the same back in August and Man Utd fans in September.

Not conceding anything yet, leave that for the telly clappers and internet diehards.

Did yerniteds title challenge make september???

Mane red card ???????

It was just about a foul. No intent to elbow the man, jumping for the ball, Azpilcueta should be booked for simulation.....

James milner needs shafting good and proper. He's let the team down by giving the ref the oppurtunity to give a cheap freekick even though the ball has long gone, good dive from Havertz though. Poor.

Kovacic wont hit a luckier shot in another 100 times.

Great equaliser though.

He leads with his arm and there was no intent. ? I know it’s early in the year but it’s the funniest thing Ave read on the forum this year. Am giving you the benefit of the doubt and putting that down to beer talk.

Thanks Tashy means a lot coming from you?

I will respectfully disagree with you and stand by my previous comment.

My NY's resoloution is not to argue the toss with know all internet fotball managers, coaches, physio, doctors and referees ?

They actually started better than I thought they had. 7 points from 9 in August and 6 from 9 in September.

They were level with Man City at the end of Sept who were 6 from 9 in Aug and 7 from 9 in Sept and Chelsea 7 from 9 and 6 from 9. And only a point behind Liverpool who were 7 from 9 in Aug and Sept.

Admittedly they hadn't actually played anyone decent by that point (sorry West Ham fans) but they were still in it. It was only after that they started to play the decent teams and kept getting humped.

My memory of yernited this season was 30 thousand fans leaving OT at half time and us putting 5 past them??

Sadio should have seen red.

Agreed
Nobody should be on the receiving end of a challenge like that whoever team player it is.
It’s a cowardly challenge.
Great game for the neutral and the premiership.
I do think both teams challenge has now gone.

.

As a neutral I take the same view about the foul, he didn't lead with the elbow but he was lucky to stay on as many a ref would given it. Don't agree about a booking for the Chelsea player, I dont think he was any near as hurt as he made out but not a booking imo.

Are you sure you were watching the same game as us??
