If the players were side by side there could almost be an argument that it’s two players going for a 50/50 and the defender just outmuscles the forward, but it’s just not the case here. The defender angles his run to take more momentum into Rashford as the other defender presses to sandwich him off the ball. It’s blatant and it’s very poor from the ref.

You’re really scraping the barrel here bud. Just sayin’. 👍
 
What a great little finish from the young lad

He has been nothing but impressive since he has come into the team

He has looked good for the Academy but he looks very much at home at this level.

And the 16 year old Nyoni coming on next - now he has the potential to be very special
 
Anybody remember Casemiro getting sent off because he allegedly grabbed a players throat?

I guess that is OK now, or at least OK for Forest players
Stop with the biased agenda. Fernandes has previous with shoving his throat into opponents’ anatomical snuff boxes.
 
Yes he is a better no9 than Gakpo.
Klopp should play him if Nunez and Jotta are out.

Gakpo is never a 9 , having to fill there at the moment but Danns will be the first team squad now until the end of the season. That first finish was pure class - also thought Clark was very good tonight

3 players who all have ex pro as dads - Clark , Danns and Koumas

Definite penalty for me. The defender just barges into Rashford and the other obstructs him. Whether he has control of the ball or not it's a foul - penalty all day long.
 
I'll be honest, I didn't think it was a penalty. Mainly because referees never give those. Outside the box, they might give a free kick, 50/50.
S, you know more about football and pens than I do. However if it was 50/50 outside the box why is it not 50/50 inside. Surely there is no difference. I am not disagreeing with what you say I just think a foul is a foul. I accept you said 50/50 and I am not disputing what you said.
 
One a red card. One not. Is it too much to ask for a bit of consistency?
