Nah, he was giving soft fouls both ways and wouldn't have given the penalty if it hadn't been so soon after the previous shout, told their players to get fucked plenty as well when they went down.
Luiz also got one of our players booked too in first half for dangling a leg. Couple of hand ball claims for us I'd like to see again. Don't think itv showed either in the highlights.That penalty really was soft as fuck.

I said borderline awful. Not quite awful, but worse than bad. Kept them fairly quiet and had chances is a political spin on a game where we could have been 2 down after 15 minutes had Ibrahimovic had have been awake - possibly could have even been a man down if the ref saw the Mangala - Matuidi challenge differently. On top of that, we spent large portions of the game hanging on only for them to run out of steam around the 75th minute. We finished quite well, but i still think our quality was very poor all night.I'm flabbergasted that you cannot see we played a different game, tonight. We weren't brilliant, i don't think anyone is saying we were.
We kept them fairly quiet and had chances, that with a bit better final ball, who knows. But to say we were awful is not right.
run out of steam around the 75th minute
Amazing how a goal totally changes people's perception of how everyone played. Could have been 2 or 3 down early one, and at 2-1 they could have easily had a couple. We couldn't string 2 or 3 passes together and we were getting over run everywhere.At 2-1 it was in the balance. We got the goal and it was a great result. If it had gone 3-1 the knives would have been out for the performance. I'm with you, it wasn't good but the result clouds peoples' judgment.

Clichy, Silva, Aguero, Navas, Otamendi were awful. Sagna gave a penalty away, Mangala probably could have been sent off, Fernando made one of the worst kind of errors you will see. Fernandinho and Hart were both poor for their second. Quality wise, we were terrible, nowhere near as good as we can be.
The problem is we have no proper backup. It's essentially must win looking at ours & Uniteds fixtures if we want top 4, Bony clearly isn't up to leading the line and we all know he's not starting Kelechi.
Seems a must start for me, then hope we are 3-0 up after 50 minutes so we can take him off. What happened to when we had Dzeko, Balotelli, Tevez & Aguero eh.
Shitting it from what? We still posed very little threat. I think the goal knocked the stuffing out of them more than anything else.I call it shitting it.
It was a foul.
Against Luiz.
not only that but sagna moves his own leg away from making contactMy arse... Luiz dragged his leg.. That's cheating in my book
Bang on... Diabolical decision.. So was not giving the Ibra OSnot only that but sagna moves his own leg away from making contact
