Mike Dean

I said in the match day thread that he is abysmal in games like this because he likes to even it up when we dominate. Therefore he was fucking awful tonight. I think he is a decent ref in big games because he won’t take shit from any side.

Just posted how he evened it up you're bang on
 
I thought he was fair overall. He got few things wrong, and favour the underdog in the 50/50s but he could have hurt us much more if he was corrupt. Our tackles were atrocious at times.

Dean did well, he made a one sided contest where viewers might have turned off, into an even game.

I never thought of it like that but maybe you're on to something.

There were a couple of opportunities to completely do City over, if that's what his aim was. Gerrard made a claim for the weakest penalty decision of the season(still not quite sure which incident it was). The commentators also seemed to think, Mings purposely running around the front of Ederson and backing/barging into him with his back. To move him out of the way/stop him getting to the ball, was fair game. That might have lead to something, if it was allowed to continue.

So, rather than trying to outright rob City, maybe he was "enhancing the product". All the small decisions were going to Aston Villa, for long periods of the second half. To help them build up some momentum and hinder any of ours, while our players were also starting to show fatigue. Still no less annoying either way though.
