GWT: PL Matchweek 5

lol on the replay I'm not even sure he touched his knee.

That is literally reason enough to call a penalty.

You know I don’t mean stabbing someone with a knife. Sticking your leg out isn’t a penalty worthy offense.

What did Alonso do for the boo treatment?

Dive is the wrong word. Running out of your way to initiate contact and then fall over is a better description than dive. Not sure what you would call that.

I mean Coufal still throws his leg out and that makes it pen worthy. Ronaldo doesn't get out of the way, as he should, and I get why they didn't call it.. It could go either way and I don't think it'd be the wrong call.

Several former players who are pundits these days have been saying for year that players shouldn't give the ref chance to give penalty with plays like that. Even before VAR, those were called penalties about 90% of the time.

It's incredibly clear knee on knee contact?

 

[Jussi]

Plays for the wrong team?

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

What did Alonso do for the boo treatment?

He's scored a LOT against Spurs

The back of Coufal's thigh clearly moves after the contact.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Anyone else lost audio on DAZN?

They called a foul for the boot to the knee.

Felt like that ball from Mount needed to be another yard forward

Yes.

He needed to release a touch earlier

 

[Peen]

Mount and Havertz have been having some Willian moments in possession recently

Willian woulda f***ed that up way worse

Still a very scary counter

Spurs have not played this well all season, big jump in quality.

Just putting your leg out isn't a penalty. If someone blocks a shot and another player goes and runs into the outstretched leg, it isn't magically a penalty. Ronaldo didn't run after the ball, he ran after Coufal's leg. That shouldn't be a penalty.

Several former players who are pundits these days have been saying for year that players shouldn't give the ref chance to give penalty with plays like that. Even before VAR, those were called penalties about 90% of the time.

Oh good we have the former players arguments. But it doesn't even help your argument because what they're saying is yeah, the reason they say you shouldn't give the refs the chance is because it shouldn't be a penalty but a ref might call it that way.

What a wasteful ball from Reguilon

 

[Blender]

Sound is finally back on DAZN.

 

[bluesfan94]

Kepa really fluffed that ball.

 

[Burner Account]

I love watching Son

 

[Havre]

Actually decent by Spurs. I think we would have needed 1-0 as Chelsea will definitely grow into this game But nice to see that we are decent when we actually try to play.

Silva is so good. Ridiculous considering his age.

 

[Peen]

really good try from christensen
