Unheard of!!!…..Five shots on target and five goals? Isn't there a word for that?

Back to Sheff Utd on loan for the season.McAtee has left?
Mate, the bbc stats show that we conceded 4 shots on target in the Fulham game alone! Where are you getting your stats from?!
The debate about the second goal and Akanji's part in it is interesting. TBH I thought it would be flagged as offside..... and in my view it probably was offside. However, you think about that diabolical decision against utd last season and in my opinion that was offside as well......but it wasn't given. So if you're going to allow that goal to stand then you have to allow this goal to stand. Eddie didn't know whether to go left, right or stand still with Rashford and Fernandes bearing down on him - and either player could have taken a shot. Was Akanji interfering with play more than Rashford? No. Sometimes these refs and VAR make a rod for their own back with inept decisions......and then it comes back to bite them in the arse.
Agree!Yep we have some diabolical decisions regularly but if it was 1-1 at half time any one city fan thinking we don't come out second half play better and win that game haven't watched us under pep! So they can shut up moaning about a bad decision!
I don't think it was a reckless or dangerous challenge so the penalty is deemed sufficient punishment.Wasn’t he clean through and about to shoot when he was clipped from behind?
If it was deemed the defender wasn’t playing the ball, he should have been sent off, shouldn’t he? Like Cancelo last season.
A result either way…The Viking is lucky Pep is away on sick leave. He would have pulled him off before he could have got a hat trick
Fair enough. I thought JA was in the process of shooting and his foot got clipped. I’m side on at that end, so not the best view.I don't think it was a reckless or dangerous challenge so the penalty is deemed sufficient punishment.
At the time I thought he'd have got the shot off before the other defender got there but having seen it again I'm not sure. It still took a bloody long time to take the pen, but it was worth waiting for.
