GWT: EPL - Matchweek 13

[Venkman]

What a goal by Garnacho.

United so careless with the ball. Mainoo playing well, showing up some of the older players. Everton could have had a couple if they could finish.

 

[hatterson]

Very obvious foul and pen. Awful call for the ref to say diving live.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Laughable yellow to Martial. This is going to be a penalty.

 

[Jack Straw]

Has to be a penalty

 

[hatterson]

If Young isn’t already on a yellow it’s a painfully obvious yellow as well. But the ref doesn’t want to send him off.

 

[Jussi]

Justice for Martial.

RASSE! Hopefully that gets the monkey off his back.

 

[JPBolts]

We catch everyone offsides, must be close to almost double the next few teams.

 

[Jussi]

Fine debut from Mainoo.

MARTIAL!

 

[hatterson]

Martial looked absolutely uninvolved all game but ends with a pen drawn and a goal

He really loves playing against Everton. That was his 9th goal against them, if I heard correctly.

 

[hatterson]

Everton were definitely the better side in the first half. United played better in the second half and ended with a comfortable win, but a few little bounces go the other way and it's an entirely different game.

Garnacho's strike is a one in a million. Mainoo had to clear a ball off the line. DCL had a free header off a corner, etc.

United now head to Turkey for an absolute must win in the CL.

Wouldn't you risk qualifying for the EL if you win?

 

[hatterson]

Yea this definitely makes sense to me:







Martial's goal was a high xG chance but also game when the game was already 2-0 and with 15 minutes left.

Wouldn't you risk qualifying for the EL if you win?

Sure, but if they win they likely go into MW6 in 2nd in the group and playing a Bayern team that's 9 points clear at the top so might just play their entire backup squad.

Bayern doesn't have enough players for a backup squad.

 

[cgf]

Bayern doesn't have enough players for a backup squad.

Even if they did, banking on a Bayern B-team to save them from getting embarrassed in the CL-knockouts is a major gamble.

Better to party too hard in Istanbul and drop the ball here so they can win a round or two in the EL before bowing out

 

[Spring in Fialta]

he seems to have the right attitude to be a United player.

An affinity for domestic violence?

Oh I forgot that's this week. Probably explains some of the selections (rotation).

 

[bluesfan94]

Iwobi with an early goal for Fulham.

 

[hatterson]

1.) I don't think this should be a pen. It looks like he gets a touch on the ball and only barely barely barely touches the foot.

2.) If it's taking remotely this long it cannot be a "clear and obvious error"

 

[JPBolts]

red card incoming?

 

[hatterson]

How do you not give a pen there and also not call a dive? Atrocious officiating.

On replay it looks like he caught him a bit, but I still have zero idea how a ref can look at that live and conclude that it is simultaneously not a penalty but also not worthy of a simulation yellow.

 

[Jussi]

"t-Rex tits"

"Fanta pubes" Where does he come up with these??

"South Manchester Makelele"

 

[Jussi]

Worthy of Puskas award?

Fulham-Wolves VAR of course gets to ref the LFC game (also against Fulham) on Sunday because the performance was obviously so worthy of an important game

f*** Matty Cash. Dude is trash.
