Another Kane ghost sesh against good opposition in an important game but he’ll score a hattrick against Union Berlin and put him in R9 conversation, have a day off
@38Games0Defeats Does playing well in the 2nd half automatically mean he played well in the first? Came out with a completely different attitude and Tuchel clearly stuck a rocket up the team's arse at HT. Was fairly obvious but you do you
@ArchRose90 Interviewed Mr Burnham twice for a small local TV channel 6/7 years ago. He couldn't have had any less interest in talking to me, was made to wait until last and then told to be quick because he was in a rush. Another self serving salesman.
🚨🎙️ | Wayne Rooney BLASTS the VAR decision Arsenal’s overturned penalty vs Atletico Madrid:
“Look, I’ll be honest with you, I’m sitting here in the studio scratching my head. For me, that’s a penalty all day long. I don’t care how many angles you show me on that VAR monitor, there’s contact there, and it’s enough to put Eberechi Eze off his stride when he’s about to pull the trigger.
The referee gives it on the pitch straight away, so he’s seen enough in real time and he’s in a good position. Then VAR gets involved, calls him over to the screen, and suddenly they’re trying to find reasons not to give it. Once a referee goes to that monitor, there’s always pressure to overturn it. But why? It’s not a clear and obvious error. It’s a foul.
Eze gets there first, nicks the ball, and he’s been caught. We’ve seen those given plenty of times in this game. If that’s Ademola Lookman going down at the other end, or if it happens in favour of one of the big sides, we’re not even having this conversation. It’s a stonewall penalty and everyone moves on. If it happens at the other end, we’d all be screaming for it.
That was Arsenal’s golden opportunity. They’ve worked their socks off tonight, played some cracking football, and earned that chance to win the match from the spot. To have it taken away by someone sat in a booth miles away is gutting for them.
Sometimes VAR tries to be too clever. It’s there to fix obvious mistakes, not re-referee every little bit of contact and second guess decisions. Tonight they’ve got it massively wrong.
You can talk about marginal contact all you want, but at the end of the day, Eberechi Eze has been fouled in the box. Arsenal have been robbed tonight, simple as that. It’s a shambles really.”
🗣️Steven Gerrard on the joke that was the penalty given against #Arsenal against Atletico: “I think the referees would have been in the hotel last night, seen the penalty given in the Bayern PSG game and thought they have to give it. It’s never a penalty. It’s absolutely never a penalty.” 💯
@DaleJohnsonBBC Your "reminder" is incorrect. The question of interference is the decision being made. 1 is holding, and has no intention of attempting a clearance (Chelsea defender), the other is being held and prevented from attempting a clearance (city defender). Embarrassing reporting.
