GWT: PL Matchweek (mostly) 28

[Halladay]

When you haven't won a Premier League title in 16 years and are the only one of the classic "big 4" not to have won a Champions League (or even made it to the final in 15 years), what else do you have to hold onto besides the invincibles season?

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Supporters of Juve and Milan don't seem to care that their clubs went invincible in the past 30 years. They are just holding on to this. Which they can if they want to.

 

[Jussi]

It's going to be one of those games again...

 

[YEM]

Havent seen Liverpool done a single impressive game the whole season. Won games sure, but not impressed at all.

This is just dumb
With a slathering of ignorance on top of a dumb cake.

 

[Jussi]

Bruno!

 

[Jack Straw]

Wow, Aurier with a bomb. Where has that been?

There are only 3 traditional big clubs in England, Arsenal, Liverpool and United.

 

[Jussi]

This ref is blind. Ball hits Fred's knee, he sees handball.

f***ing bullshit refereeing in Uniteds favour again

Sorry, but there's only two. And Arsenal aren't one of them.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Ancelotti getting a red at full-time is hilarious.

That said, I find chalking that goal off a little ridiculous. There's no way a prone Richarlison unsighted De Gea standing over him. Classic letter of the law versus spirit of the rule.

 

[Aladyyn]

f***ing bullshit refereeing in Uniteds favour again

Lmao what

 

[AB13]

Arsenal have been better than Liverpool most decades since the 30s, with the 60s, 70s and 80s being the only exeptions. Arsenal are possibly a bigger club than Liverpool.

Have to laugh at the Everton fans booing the VAR reversal. It's the right call you scouzers. You can't be in an offside position and interfere with the goalkeeper's ability to play the ball and make the save, even if the player offsides didn't touch it.

 

[AB13]

Lmao what

Sigurdsson is not affecting the play, he tries to actively avoid being part of the situation

 

[Havre]

Spurs have become Arsenal. Useless.

Credit to Wolverhampton. Not brilliant, but a solid team.

I really don't think Richarlison laying on the ground did this, though. There was no chance De Gea was getting to that and at the angle De Gea had, he saw that the whole way. There was just nothing he could do.

No Spurs is just back to being Spurs again. You had some fun last couple of years.

De Gea also darted the other way. He was never going to save that with the deflection.

 

[Aladyyn]

Funny how that's the decision that makes the salty rival fans call out the refs lol.

 

[Jussi]

Being in an offside position is not an offence in itself, but a player so positioned when the ball is played by a teammate can be judged guilty of an offside offence if they become "involved in active play", "interfere with an opponent", or "gain an advantage" by being in that position.

He was lying on the ground a meter from De Gea and pulled his legs back to avoid touching the ball. Clearly involved and interfering.

 

[BergyTime37]

Shoulda been a Maguire OG. The deflection is the only thing that prevents De Gea from being able to save that, or at least having a chance.

Compelling stuff.

 

[AB13]

De Gea sees the ball the full way, and he has plenty of space to dive. He is not nearly in the way at all. No interference at all there.

If you allow that, then players begin lying on the ground in front of keeper in an offside position in every game. No way that kind of behavior was going to be tolerated.

He was only lying there because of just losing a duel. It is clear that he has no time to get out of the way more than he does. Since he doesn’t affect De Geas ability to make a save, clear goal!
