Trying to get my head around the new IFAB directive for corners at the World Cup.
If an attacking team grapples before the kick is taken, goal is ruled out.
If a defending team does so, nothing to see here?
Laws of the game not being implemented for both teams, no?
They’ll say penalties is a cruel way to lose, but that’s what happens when your gameplan is to not lose a final rather than try to win it.
Arsenal are a fine organised side, who defended well.
But Arteta is repeatedly a frightened manager in the big games.
If that goal does one thing, it surely means Arsenal have to start trying to play at least some progressive football now.
The game itself has been a shocker, no matter how well they defended
Actually think Arsenal are playing within themselves.
Defensively organised and concentration fantastic. But they’ve hardly tried expressing themselves.
Perfect half for the Gunners
Gordon move to Barca blocking Rashford deal. Where does that leave him with Utd?
With Carrick in charge I honestly think the chance is there again. He’ll give talent a chance.
However, the rest is up to Rashford. Such a young talent, can he and will he kick on to mature player?
Can only assume concerns over Adam Wharton's pale skin and ability to cope with the fierce sun in the US was behind Tuchel's decision to leave him out of the England squad.
