Disgraceful performance from Martinez in the second half 😂

I was convinced he was going to pick up a yellow for timewasting shithousery in the second half so wasted some of my hard-earned on the 3/1 that Bet365 were offering.

Then he decides to play the second half like prime McGrath, chipping the ball out, instead of rolling around like a good boy !

I want my money back 😢

Haha he’s an absolute master of his craft.

He’s simply amazing and often overlooked by external observers. Successful teams of the past have all had outstanding goalkeepers, and often big characters. Emi has come to us at the perfect time, our comeback trajectory is aligned nicely and I’m sure we can fulfil his ambitions of Champions League football and more trophies.

He hasnt been booked yet

Partly because the ref last night was brilliant. He had the respect of the players so when he spoke to emi and in no uncertain terms gave him his warning to cut out the timewasting he cut out the timewasting (relative to his usual levels granted)

Often times the first warning emi gets is the yellow card

That ref really was a breath of fresh air. They say the best refs are the ones you don’t really notice and I can only really remember him gesturing to his chest after Bailey’s goal.

I think in Europe the referees are a lot better which helps

The moment in the first half when he had the ball at his feet and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited .

It was like who blinks first loses. And they did. Psychological warfare.  It said i will wait here for 30 mins and not give a shit. 

 

Anyone have a video of this? I saw it live, thought it was hilarious

European football being played at a slower pace also helps. PL should probably experiment with 2 refs, one for each half.  Given the pace of play in the PL, asking a middle aged ref to keep up with some of the fittest world athletes is always going to be an issue.

And even then it was him indicating what turned out to be the correct decision. He put in a fantastic performance I can't remember a single game where a PL ref has even put in close to that good a performance. Even in games we dominate too often fouls in transition don't receive the booking they are supposed to. Players get away with 4 or 5 hacks becfore receiving a card etc.
