sne Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Took Serhou Guirassy 26 mins today to score his 14th Bundesliga goal of the season. Guy is in ridiculous form. Edited October 21, 2023 by sne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to move at speed and have your arms glued to your sides. The other defender is in exactly the same position. If the ball hits his arm it's also a penalty. Why are all the players defending in such an unnatural way? Haha. As if they're thick and don't know how to block crosses. Its such an idiotic rule and bad terminology. He’s got his arm way out and blocked the cross from a few meters away. There is nothing controversial about that decision. Konate possibly getting a second yellow is the only controversial call in that match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 He can move his hand back towards his body as the ball is being struck. Basically his hand is stuck out before the cross is hit and it remains outstretched and so these days when that happens it's a penalty. If there's time to move your hand away from the ball then a defender should do it, Keane didn't and there was reasonable distance. I'm surprised we're getting pages of this. If Konsa or Pau does that tomorrow I fully expect West Ham to be awarded a penalty and I won't be moaning too much about it. Now Digne v Palace start of last season, that was a handball that should never have been awarded given he was jumping and his back was also turned. The big decision today was Pawson bottling giving Konate a second yellow when he took out Docoure. Score was 0-0 at the time so that had a bigger impact on last 20 minutes imo.

Keane is jogging around with his arm hanging as far out as he possibly could, in a fixed position. About a quarter of a second on from that still, he is touching the Liverpool player. It's the rule I have an issue with. I agree it should be given based on current rules. I think if you move your arm towards a ball to stop it then it's a pen. If it hits you from wherever your positioned as its struck, then it shouldn't. If that cross also hits the closer defenders arms then its also a pen isn't it? That's rediculous if so. A pen is effectively giving the attacking team a goal. What he did doesnt deserve the other team getting a goal. Maybe indirect free kick for this sort of thing.

LondonLax Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Haaland 2-0. This game will not decide their season but Brighton do not look as good this season imo. Constantly selling your best players is bound to catch up with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Brighton will ship 6 again here. Bad time to be playing Man. City but don't really get De Zerbi thinking Milner can play full back away from home v them. He has Veltman and Webster on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oishiiniku_uk Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Brighton playing a front 4 away from home against Man City. If Arteta or Poch did that and got battered they would be rightly criticised but De Zerbi is a 'genius' and so nothing will be said about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 It’s clear to see why Doku plays instead of Grealish, he has no fear, takes people on and looks dangerous, he is like the Grealish we used to have, not the Man City version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what I don't get because Grealish was doing this when he first joined and it was clearly coached out of him as his game time increased the more boring he got. Why does Pep want Doku doing this now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything 2-0 flatters Everton. Everton are in for a long season. The reds changed the game sure you can agree on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Hwang has baited a red card just like he tried last game with us. It was a red but he's a cheating little rat with his actions to provoke it and oversell the contact. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
