People need to at least acknowledge the penalties we should've had. The performance was shite obviously,but so was the refs.... AGAIN!

It may be more cathartic to wail and groan about our performance, but you're right - had we got the several penalties we deserved it would have been a totally different outcome, especially as the threat of further penalties would have stopped those f**king Neanderthals in their defence from holding Iheanacho every time the ball came in. Wonder why we never got a player near the ball in the box? It's clever, actually, because refs (and the media) are so focused on the ball, that you can get away with murder a couple of yards away from it. Virtually every run Stones tried to make at a corner got stopped right away by a foul. When he was dragged down by the neck right in front of the ref and nothing was given, they knew they could pretty much get away with anything.
 
I know that he has no fear of failure and that he needs to experiment and be creative to find solutions - but he has not yet established a solid platform and seems to be doing so from an incredibly fragile spine.

The possession (3 quarters of the game today) vs attempts on target vs goals scored is utterly bizarre.
 
Ironically it was Kolarov who rescued us a bit of pride. The worst part is that no pundits will ever mention the penalties we should've had. Defence needs a rethink.

Glad somebody else saw that. I was beginning to think I was going mental.
