I may be on my own here, but I thought the ref has been good today. Kept the flow going made it a decent watch.

He was shocking in the last 10 mins - staggeringly bad -nearly as bad as Tyler was

Mo showing he is still there up with the best
 
Errr why?

Did you see the two fouls on Salah - blatent

Then KDB late on Carvahlo after the ball gone right under his nose - that’s after missing a blatent earlier foul on Salah - he is poor.

Did you see the foul on Silva by Salah before Silva on Salah? 50-50. Just get on with it.

The one where Carvalho rolled around then got told to get up and was fine? Both sides left bits in all game, but good to see the ref playing on and made it a better watch.

As a neutral, ref was fine. This isn't a non contact sport and it was a better game than it should have been.
 
Going back to City’s “ Goal”.
Haaland was penalised no problem.
Not referring to this game but in general when a team are defending a corner there is usually a similar amount of shirt pulling. Why is it not a penalty on the basis that a foul is a foul is a foul?
 
Was Haaland on the bench?;):p
Haarland is only as good as the service to him.
That service wasn’t there today. KDB was really poor imo
But the back four were really good today ( Milner for England RB );)
Going forward we should have scored more .

Thought the ref was trying to let the game flow but there are times when you just can’t.
The foul on Mo was a joke.
But if you are going to let play flow with tough challenges you then have to make sure the team with the ball has an advantage, if your on your own with three defenders you should get the foul.
Great game though.

The same reason it’s not handball unless you score.
The rules are a mess.
