I meant in terms of the sending off - he denied a clear goalscoring opportunity so we can have no complaints about that specific decision.

Got ya.

 

[Keeper!]

id keep grealish on - we need to keep the ball.

bernardo probably more likely to get hooked

we need to do something with the ball, create chances

 

[Mentis]

Yeah it has to be a red flag f it’s a pen.

 

[Gazza]

Bein would be a good channel without Keys and Gray.

What ever happened to double jeopardy ? It was decided a couple of seasons ago if the attacking team gets a penalty the defender only gets a yellow not a red , when did it change ?
Stupid by Cancelo to even give the ref the opportunity , there wa s a good chance Ederson saves the shot and at worst its 1-1 and we have 70 minutes with eleven men to regain the lead.
Not sure if clubs still fine their players for recieving yellow and red cards , but Cancelo should be fined for making a stupid decision , he might think twice next time.

Exactly my point. Double jeopardy. So many in here keen to fleece Cancelo, but that was shoulders. And I DIDN'T see him stamping the Fulham player... did that really happen?

C'mon you Blues!!! - Let's turn on the style and put these away

The more I see the tackle on rodri the more I think it's a straight red. Not sure VAR is operating at our gaff today.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Phil & Erl coming on ???

IMO, Cancelo does not attempt to play the ball which is why he’s been given a red.

It’s harsh though because I don’t think he’s deliberately trying to take the man out either, certainly not in a cynical way.

Defenders regularly defend by getting tight and outmuscling attackers.

I think it’s more an issue with the wording of the current law rather than an outright ref mistake.
