3 minutes and football is coming on and they gave me a whole half of watching Arsenal have to play ten men back...

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Playing City in this form is a tall order. Doing it at the Etihad is damn near impossible. Doing with with ten men for 45 minutes….

Let's not act like flopping in the NBA,bias referees who make superstar calls,flags on non existent penalties don't happen in the NBA and NFL....


Let's be honest these referees and leagues want a certain outcome in certain games ..

No other sport penalizes a side like soccer when red cards are handed out. A bad call early in the game can basically determine the outcome.

these saves by raya tells me this game is over fifa on world class difficulty

is foden injured or what? they need an unlocker like him on

I do not understand why martinelli is on the pitch. He offers nothing in this situation.

This time wasting will come back to bite you in the ass

There is no point because the minutes get added on after the game

What ill say and this goes for all sports is that referees need to understand the moment and game theyre reffing

You cant hand that yellow in a game that has title implications this early in the season in my opinion.

100%

Refa gotta know when to swallow the whistle in these big games.

Unless it’s egregious, let em play.

You’re right. We should give City as much momentum as possible and try to not disrupt their rhythm.

i agree
but sometimes players need a moment to regroup and collect themselves

its been 20 straight minutes of onslaught from City...need a breather

high work rate to retrieve the ball. he will come off round 70th min i think

Tbh I think that Raya one was more so Arteta could give them instructions.
