Sergio coming on

All because of the missed penalty

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

If it's outside the box then surely he denied a.goalscoring opportunity and red card.

Doesn’t matter whether it’s outside or inside, should have been off. You only don’t get sent off, in the box, if you’ve made an attempt to play the ball.

Where a player denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by a handball offence the player is sent off wherever the offence occurs.
Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offending player is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off.

I don’t think any of our players except Ederson has been consistent this season so far.

really think we needed a marque signing in the summer to keep the buzz going & push on.

yes we have injuries but we haven’t looked right in most games and we are really missing kompany / a captain in this team for me.

We need a 5 minute period where we just fuck around with it. Keep ball. Kill their momentum then turn it up.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

pretty poor defending from crosses this half, another chance for Atalanta there with no-one of our players near it

 

[rnblade]

How we aren’t losing this is only down to their poor finishing.

What has to happen for KDB to take a penalty? I mean, it seems pretty fucking obvious that he should be on them.

think I seen somewhere that KDB only ever took 1 penalty in his career

Why is mendy consistently stopping his runs down the wing ?

His early promise when he arrived seems to have evaporated

Angelino is on front of him for me right now

Angelino seems to have a bit of intelligence about his play, Mendy just looks like he runs around and crosses balls at 100mph

 

[bluefandk]

Kun on.
Lets hope he can turn this around.

 

[Gray]

Don’t think Mica’s half time prediction will come true.
