GWT: PL Matchweek (mostly) 32 & 33 - not the Ndombele thread

[hatterson]

I can't really comment on the handball since I didn't see the play. Anyone got a replay?

 

[hatterson]

From what I've seen so far (last ~10-15 mins of the first half on) both teams are defending tight and aggressive and neither team is sharp enough offensively to take advantage of the space that is leaving or the turnovers it creates.

United with the better situations, but Leeds has been threatning also.

Yea that seems fair. But neither team has been sharp enough to have a really great chance.

Daniel James can’t start. Not good enough

It's weird because United has had 2 or 3 situations where a United player had the ball in the last 10 meters and they either lost the ball, failed a control or got tackled at the last minute.

 

[hatterson]

Bad on Maguire there. Should have stuck his leg *under* the Leeds players studs, then it would be an obvious red for VAR.

I'm sick of Dan James.

He's a deeply mediocre player who is fast. It's so frustrating because his speed can often get him into good positions but he doesn't have the talent to convert them.

The amount of times he gets the ball in a channel or great spot only to take 3/4 touches and ruin the chance is impressively high.

Carragher: "This game has been awful in quality..." He's not wrong.

Attacking quality for sure. Defensive quality has been alright, some good tackles put in, but there's been chances that could have been taken. Mostly by United but Leeds had a couple as well.

 

[hatterson]

Nothing was happening anyway, but the ref literally blew the final whistle 10 seconds early lol

 

[Jussi]

After the goalfest of the first meeting, this is probably going to finish 0-0.

And here we are.

Leeds with another SuperLeague draw.

 

[Venkman]

Terrible game fair result.

Maguire could've done better with his header, so could Bruno shooting wide.

Wasn't a penalty. Shaw's arm was by his side in a natural position.

 

[hatterson]

I'd comment on the handball claim, but as I've said I haven't seen it. And since no sports fan every wants to rewind and watch a replay of anything in a game, Peacock doesn't support the ability to rewind games.

Hard to tell from the still image since it's from the side, but looks a little similar to the Azpi one from yesterday and the arm looks like it's in a fairly natural position.

But prevented the Leeds player behind to play the ball.

The one from yesterday hit Azpilicueta above the sleeve, which is not a hand ball under the rules.

It doesn't matter what it prevented. Only if it makes his body unnaturally bigger which is defined based on the arm being in an expected position for the action he's taking.

Looked far more like bicep than shoulder to me, but either way I can't realistically comment on this one since I can't see a good angle.

Bicep is still not a handball, it was above the sleeve which is what matters.

It's the PL patch on the sleeve, not anywhere on the sleeve.
