It worked though, no? No malicious or out of control challenges from either side. 22 men battling for a game of football and being allowed to do so.
It did.No, it didn't.
What game did you watch??No complaints.
I don't think so, Bernie commited a blatant tactical foul in the second half that he always gets booked for but wasn't on this occasion, it's just that Arsenal commited far more fouls than us.He decided he wasn't booking Arsenal players. If we did that today, he wouldn't have been able to get his cards out quickly enough.
If he reffed it honestly from the first whistle he wouldn't need to be trying to even it up in the 2nd half.I thought he gave them everything in the first half and gave us far more in the second half.
Not the worst performance by any means, but Jesus should have been carded in the third minute.
And you have your answer.I don't think so, Bernie commited a blatant tactical foul in the second half that he always gets booked for but wasn't on this occasion, it's just that Arsenal commited far more fouls than us.
If we commited more fouls than them would he have booked us ? can't tell.And you have your answer.
Unfortunately, that’s irrelevant. It doesn’t make it far. Big ‘if’. We didn’t commit more fouls, fact. We had 70% of the ball so of course less fouls.If we commited more fouls than them would he have booked us ? can't tell.
