He’s a good player Rice but gets so much praise for doing absolutely nothing extraordinary. Where would he be 2000- 2010.. with the likes of Gerrard, Keane, Vieira, Lampard, Ballack, Fabregas, Alonso, Essien, Carrick, and Makelele.
Is he better than Scott Parker?
Yesterday’s refereeing was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time.
For the first 15 minutes, the ref fell for Arsenal’s shenanigans: blowing a foul for every slight fall and every little touch. Then, all of a sudden, he clocked their dirty antics and took complete control of the game.
He stopped buying their silly theatrics: Mosquera time wasting, Havertz falling at every slight touch, Saka wasting time for the corner, Arteta touchline tantrums, Madueke diving. I can go on and on
Arsenal have become so used to getting away with this cunning stuff from Premier League refs that they seemed genuinely shocked when it didn’t work.
I’m glad the referee refused to be intimidated and stood his ground. That’s how you referee a final.
You might con your way to a Premier League title, but you can’t do it in the UCL. Either you play like real men or go home
Funniest thing from the game. Arsenal got a corner kick. They were taking their usual 15 minutes to crowd the goalkeeper. The referee said that’s enough and blew the half time whistle.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@TheRedmenTV Sad for Slot, had to deal with the horrific Jota situation, Salah and Trent going and an awful injury list. But, the right call and massively excited.
@neildylanyoung@PhilPhenom@John_W_Henry Wouldn’t say Hughes built a world class squad - he may have started, but we are far too short on numbers still. World class squads have 2 top level players in every position plus 2-3 utility players. Job far from done and will need another mega window this summer
