Antony first United player to score on his first 3 PL starts

Overrated scum

Antony first United player to score on his first 3 PL starts

Hopefully he can produce at some point. Huge question marks there still.

 

[Jussi]

RASSE!

Edit: handball?

 

[hatterson]

Sucks, but that's the right call.

I didn’t realize Arthur was hurt. Shame about Diaz and TAA. I thought TAA was pulled for performance; I didn’t see where he did his ankle.

Zero reason for the ref to not give Shaw a yellow there. Players waste time time because refs let them do it.

It happened earlier in the half. I think it was Martinelli coming in from the left (defensive right), crossed the ball and TAA tried to put a block in. Martinelli's foot ended up coming down on TAAs ankle/foot and it rolled. He was down for a couple minutes. Absolutely nothing malicious in, just one of those random things that happened. He played the rest of the half with it though (IIRC was 10-15 minutes left)

Yeah Arthur got hurt in training but as I said when they signed him, I never expected him to get any minutes.

Trent injury was on that weird cross in the 21st minute or so where Martinelli caught him weird (not Martinelli’s fault) but not sure.

Diaz has been their second best player to Alisson Becker this season so losing him would be catastrophic.

Actually, yes.
I know people like to *trump* in the good moments and hit in the bad moments, but yes, spending 100M on an Eredivisie guy is a big question mark, given he didn't even produce in that league.
So let's see his stats and performances after a season rather than 3 games.

 

[hatterson]

I think the biggest issue is that they don't have consistent VAR across the league. Instead of having a video operations center and multiple people who are specifically trained to be VARs you have random refs rotating in so the judgement is always going to change.

But either way that one is a stonewall handball.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Yes, “people” like to do that.

I thought the Scamacca one was more obvious than Antonio’s. That angle isn’t great, you have no depth of field. The ball doesn’t seem to clearly alter its path like Scamacca’s, but eh.

I didn't see the Scamacca one, but the ball clearly changed direction off Antonio's hand.

The Rashford one is the right call by the rule, but it still sucks since it's not close to intentional.

[JeffreyLFC]

they need Bellingham and 4 new players. Not getting Bellingham is not a blessing when they wasted a least two windows waiting for him. That’s a big reason why they are in this mess

Yes. But no. If LFC made top 4, they would act it as everyrhing is fine and keep the whole team around.

 

[hatterson]

Hard to imagine what would be said that would justify a conversation with both managers like that but not result in any on-field discipline. Unless maybe the ref didn't actually hear it so couldn't take action.

Lots of speculation in various threads about what happened.

That would make sense. I gotta say, the speculation seems to be that one white player said something to a Brazilian and led to that Brazilian being rather upset.

There are many who believe TAA was subbed for performance but that the injury is convenient PR cover.

Both look like rather serious injuries. I hope I'm wrong. When Diaz was initially pointing to the inside of his knee, I thought they'd pull him out right away. Good for him to want to keep going, but hopefully the kid's ok.

 

[Venkman]

Call on Rashford was annoying, thought Everton might equalise after that. Thankfully not.

First half performance better than the second. Lindelof and Shaw solid after not playing much. Casemiro had a mixed night. Poor for Everton's goal but good for Ronaldo's.

Not a great decision from Dalot, but Casemiro has to be stronger than that. He still needs to be starting every match.

I guess I fail to see how Jesus was falling into Tsimikas’s elbow

LIV is in a 4 way tie for 10th place.

For now. Villa could pass them tomorrow

Henderson the racist. Will be gone for a while I except

Why do you hate beautiful football?

It's not the football, it's Manchester City as a club.
