@FplStatsdan I agree that PSG probably deserved to go through (definitely so taking finishing into account), but the fact we were 0-3 down at one point in this tie was truly just absolutely mental.
@analytic_fpl@CommissionerFpl@FplRowan The simple solution is to get the best international referees there are. They don’t crumble under pressure and abuse (hell, some of them [read Collina] even seem to welcome it). Obviously, abuse is horrible, but it’s not an easy problem to solve init.
@analytic_fpl@CommissionerFpl@FplRowan Of course it’s not an entirely fair comparison because the pool of refs is obviously much greater in the CL, but english refs are so, so far behind, especially in terms of match leadership. While we can’t rule out that abuse is the biggest cause of garbage refereeing…
@FplHedgehog Fair result based on xG sure, but my overall feeling was that we were absolutely crushing them, especially if the UAE referee did not allow them to stop every transition we had by pulling our players down.
@FplHedgehog At this point I’m starting to worry Liverpool might actually be the big threat, did not see that coming at all. But guess that’s what happens when you have that Ali, VVD, TAA and Salah core..
@FplHedgehog Just saw someone point out what if Mbappé had chosen us. Imagine we had Mbappé on the left in this game, we’d have scored 3 and Real would be a better side than they are now.
Tired of Trossard now. Not working hard enough. If you’re gonna celebrate like he did start of the season you better back it up when you get the chances from start.
