Take the 3 points, no red cards, no injuries & I will be happy if it stays as it is.

I bloody love Haaland, what a wind up merchant!!
Such a shame he’s leaving in the summer for Real Madrid

We can definitely playing much better in the second half

KDB been sloppy by his standards, although still capable of moments of quality.

 

[Mentis]

Definitely agree on the inconsistencies, not only in-between games, but also biased against us. Was speaking only towards the yellow city received

 

[SebastianBlue]

Our players are doing stupid shit, all three bookings perfectly fair, no idea why this thread is full of people crying conspiracy.

We’re taking matters in to our own hands because the referee has repeatedly ignored fouls on ours (or been lenient in his sanction of them), including multiple stamps on Haaland, then booked our players for their first similar offences.

Pep's got some pretty good subs to bring on if he wants to take off carded players, to be fair.

 

[MCFC1993]

The added time at the end of the half shows how bad the officials have been.

1 goal, loads of fouls, plenty of yellow cards, Haaland and Stones down for a while...

Just 3 minutes added on...make it make sense.

Young Rico continues to impress. Can't see this ending 11 v 11.

 

[Blu1]

Fired up players? That fight is what keeps us top.

Not like this & we have never played like this before. It’s as if something has gone on before the game between the players

 

[SebastianBlue]

He got that tackle in the first 30 seconds, after that haaland left one on the same player, haaland hasn't had a bad tackle on him since, but is now constantly in Godfreys ear, then sprinted 10 yards to make a tackle on him he didn't need to make, he needs to wise up

He’s had three bad tackles on him since, two on corners. They just weren’t highlighted.

 

[journolud]

Ref has well and truly lost control of this game already and it is only half time. Awful performance.

Who is the useless bent twat today?

 

[wolviedinho]

Everton will get a chance. Like to see Philips come on to add fight to the midfield. Is he back from mc Donald’s yet? -:)

 

[wattle]

As brilliantly a Rico is playing I think it hampers Kev. Rico seems to take up space and possession where Kev would be. We need to find a way to get Kev in a rhythm and on the ball

Just seen that challenge by Godfrey on Haaland in the first minute.

He definitely knew what he was doing

What did you expect ? this is the PL not the World Cup.

The lads a star in the making

 

[PragueBlue]

In complete control of the game and looking comfortable but haven't really created man clear cut chances. We seem a bit worked up and have 3 pointless yellows, so need to be careful 2nd half.

I think if we calm down a bit and focus on our football, it should be a fairly comfortable win.

 

[AdamMarrett]

Dire half to watch, the referee is auditioning for the World Cup where he'd fit right in with FIFA's referees he's shocking.

Haaland does his usual but he's angry, not that I blame him Godfrey knew exactly what he was doing 20 seconds in, hopefully Pep calms him and Kev down.

Jack looks our most dangerous player so far, hopefully we put our foot down in the second half. Everton aren't offering much.

 

[manimanc]

So this is how pigmol do it.

They ref the Leeds match where we get kicked from pillar to post and don't dish out any cards. Then in the 2nd half they book us for 1st fouls.
Ok.

Then they book us for 1st fouls and non tackles whilst letting other teams get away with stuff, like today.
I will be very surprised to see us finish with 10 men.

 

[Blu1]

Rico is a wise fox. He turns like the god David silva. Something special about Rico
