Shame the ref has fucked this so far.
He clearly waved play on when the foul on Moura led to Kane's goal, but then gives us no free kick. Moura even said what about the foul after it was disallowed and the ref shook his head. (n)

Then a minute after booking some thug for a professional foul on Lo Celso the same guy looks for Son and elbows him and nothing. Joker.

Unfortunately VAR can't give yellows but must've been close to a red.

That said though we have looked poor, leggy, lethargic, slow to move or do anything with the ball, and what good positions we have got into have been frittered away by poor decisions or inopportune bad touches. :(
Im sorry but that sentence is just not accurate at all. We've been right on it. Apart from a defensive lapse in concentration we are the better team by far.

Do u think this is pay back for them missing the supposed Sanchez handball in our last game?

Horrendous decision to disallow the goal and Norwood should have had his marching orders for two yellows in 2 minutes with that elbow.

Referee has had an absolute howler

We are playing well. Genuinely not sure what game some of you are watching. We've dominated, and been shafted by an appalling bit of officiating.

We’ve had a goal wrongly disallowed but other than that we’ve created the square root of fuck all. Yes we might have had 5 good attacking breaks but none of them resulted in a goal scoring opportunity. Sissoko’s feeble effort doesn’t count either.

We spent way too much time passing the ball side ways across the back 3 or ball watching.

Im usually positive on our performances and tactics but anyone who says we arent playing that bad etc what game are you watching? We have no tempo, look leggy, our front 4 are doing absolutely nothing and we are running straight at 3-4 of their defenders every time. We need to move the ball quickly and pass through them with good movement if we are to get back in this.

This has reminded me of why i didn't miss football. Terrible decisions. Was the Norwood elbow not even reviewed?
It was reviewed by VAR.

My whole take on this is that the referee on the pitch should make the final decision for the hand ball and the elbow, even if VAR says otherwise. There is a monitor pitch side for these eventualities but for some reason they do not use it.

Sissoko is in there to defend, unfortunately he doesn't know that.

P*ss poor performance thus far, p*ss poor Ref & p*ss poor VAR.

But they are obviously allowing him time and space on the ball because its a lottery what he does with it

Didn’t VAR reviews result in Bertrand and Aubameyang getting sent off for fouls they committed near the halfway line, don’t understand how a VAR review can’t see a deliberate elbow. The premier league referees organisation is fucking corrupt.

Var is a fucking farce.

This is the first time I've watched on sky. How many fucking advert breaks do they have? Although probably better than listening to shit punditry.

If that’s the way you feel fair enough, stop watching but spare the rest of us from your embarrassing behaviour
Most people agree who rated agree with post. But sorry you're right I've embarrassed myself on anonymous forum.
