I don't know how the Brighton coach sat on his ass to break Mikel Arteta's haram ball.
They pressed them so hard that the best keeper and best defenders in Europe started shaking😭
In games where youre facing teams that defensive structure and individual defenders are strong. You need players that have the ability to disrupt those though individual actions. Estevao needs to be prioritized in general but especially in these type of games
Reece read the situation too late. Before the pass was there, he shiuld have been more goal side to help Fofana. Compare that to how Rice was always goal side of his marker like he was a 3 CB at times. Huge difference to how the outcome of yesterday's game panned out
INCREÍBLE 😅
Armaron un compilado de 7 MINUTOS con errores arbitrales que favorecieron al Arsenal durante la Premier League 2025/26 😳 https://t.co/9opI7l4eS3
🚨🎙️ Wayne Rooney on Chelsea’s controversial FA Cup Final defeat against Manchester City:
“I’ve watched football long enough to know when a team’s been hard done by, and Chelsea were absolutely robbed today. I don’t care who you support, some of those decisions were unbelievable.
The first incident on Joao Pedro before halftime is a penalty for me all day long. Khusanov doesn’t go for the ball, he goes straight through the man. Anywhere else on the pitch that’s a foul instantly, so why does it suddenly become ‘not enough contact’ inside the box? Makes no sense.
Then in the second half, the one on Caicedo… Doku clearly catches him as he’s driving forward. Chelsea players are surrounding the referee asking for consistency because we’ve seen those given plenty of times this season. VAR had every opportunity to step in and once again nothing happens.
And the handball shout? That’s another one people will debate all week. The ball hits O’Reilly’s arm from Enzo’s cross and I honestly don’t know what defenders are supposed to do anymore because we’ve seen penalties given for far less than that. Every week the interpretation changes.
What frustrated me most was the reaction from the officials. No urgency, no proper review, no referee going over to the monitor. In a cup final, with moments that big, you have to get them right.
Chelsea players looked furious because deep down they probably felt the decisions were never going their way today. Three huge calls, all ignored. That changes games, especially finals.
If this happened to Manchester United, Liverpool or Arsenal, everyone would be talking about it for weeks. But because it’s Manchester City on the other side, people seem scared to really question it properly.
Chelsea didn’t only lose the final today… they were let down badly by the officiating.”
Another proof of this.
Anywhere else on the pitch and its a blatant foul but royal blue jersey is on the ball so it doesn’t matter
Had that been Haaland vs Fofana im the opposite box, a penalty right away
