GWT: EPL - Matchweek 21

[bluesfan94]

It is the player's break matchweek! What that means is that the 10 matches are split across two weekends, so we get twice the complaining about the lunchtime fixture! In terms of matches, the first weekend looks interesting, as Chelsea host their West London foes, Fulham, Newcastle tries to get points against a potentially rejuvenated City, Everton host surprise challengers Aston Villa, and United and Tottenham face off to see who can defend worse. The second weekend kicks off with another London derby, as Arsenal will look to return to winning ways against cross-town rivals, Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Brentford hosts Nottingham Forest in a match neither side will want to lose, as it will send them closer to the relegation dog fight.

Finally.

Luton score a late added time equalizer against Burnley.

It looked like the Luton player backed into Burnley keeper preventing him from making a save affort, but the goal stands even after the VAR check.

 

[JPBolts]

that's a very interesting decision. I think that's probably a foul, but the "clear and obvious" part makes me say the call on the field would stand either way (goal or foul)

What happened to Nkunku and Jackson?

Jackson is at the ACN and Nkunku is injured again.

Enzo is like the worst shooter for an attacking midfielder that I have ever seen.

Really good movement and passing so far but of course no end product.

 

[hatterson]

Could easily be red on that.

VAR will never overturn it, but it’s a massive dive.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I didn't know Sterling was capable of getting a penalty, but you live to be surprised!

Diop swept the leg. Sterling embellished to the heavens, but Diop swept the leg.

Cold Palmer!

Sterling definitely dove.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Don't know how Gusto escaped a red earlier?

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Don't know how Gusto escaped a red earlier?

Wasn't crazy high and there wasn't a ton of force. Seemed like one of those that looks far worse as a still image than it actually was.

Don't know how Gusto escaped a red earlier?

I have no idea. That was terrible. The standard this season has pretty much been studs above the ankle is red - that was as blatant as they come.

 

[hatterson]

Don't know how Gusto escaped a red earlier?

I’m more surprised VAR didn’t take longer to review it.

I understand staying with the call on the field, but it seemed the VAR check was over way too fast.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Wasn't crazy high and there wasn't a ton of force. Seemed like one of those that looks far worse as a still image than it actually was.

Well, studs to the ankle have been a red all season. This tackle was worse than the one Jones got a red for.

 

[Blender]

He was a mile offside anyways, but HOW STERLING

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Oh f*** right off Pereira with the handball whininess crap

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Game's gone if that's a foul, game's gone

 

[Blender]

Game's gone if that's a foul, game's gone

Anthony Taylor must always be the center of attention.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Enzo please stay on your feet you're on a yellow

Good stop from Petrovic and smart direction on the parry

CHILLY BACK

Petrovic has done pretty well since having to be the starter.
