        Kylie-Ended up following it on eurosport.de, sounded like they were both good games full of chances.

          Trossard is one of the most underrated players in the world of football, absolutely class player.An absolute bargain to boot.

            Saka denied a penalty as he initiated the contact, mmm, surprised the ref didn’t go with the ‘Neuer was stupid’ law.

              Hmm. It does seem a natural movement from the technique to try and dribble past the keeper, but the right leg effectively then looks as though it’s just ‘ran into a lamppost’. That’s what slow-motion tells me. Dying seconds of the game so maybe the Ref called it right.

                Nil, you, of all people, should know not to look at things in slow motion!!!!

                I know it’s just football, and I know we all do the same, but the flip flop since Sunday has to be seen to be believed.

                  Alfie, what I’m noticing is the way of our thinking being influenced by players ‘manufacturing’ penalties. It’s probably gone on in previous decades, but nobody really back then really deconstructing every frame of movement (as such and as much as we now do with the technology at our disposal).

                  What I would be encouraged by is the idea of bringing in overseas Refs and somebody no-nonsense and bold enough to make the call and stick by his guns ala the example of yesterday.

                  99% if that incident took place in a Prem game in the dying stages and the Pen was given, there would probably have been furore. Of course, there’s always going to be that mindset from the opposite direction if that Penalty happens to be for the team you support.

                    Alfie, I just replied to you in thought without seeing your reply to me (revisiting these pages). Great minds and all that πŸ™‚ You are right in what you say re Rose Tinted Glasses πŸ˜‰

                      In both cases, the attacking player was absolutely looking for the peno 100%, and neither player made a “realistic” effort to avoid the challange… the big difference being WB made it a lot harder for the ref to wave play by sliding in the way he did…

                        And what do we all think about the “handball” mistake?

                          I’m torn on it Chucky. I can completely sympathise with both sides of the argument. I’d lean on favouring the application of common sense in not awarding the pen. Arsenal gained zero advantage from it.

                            Defo not a pen for Arse, but WTF was the goalie up to for the Kane pen?Why dive so early?

                              You don’t think Neuer was stupid in sticking his leg out, Mav? That does surprise me!

                                The handball could well have been given, I seem to recall the commentators telling us there is a much lower threshold in Europe when Eriksen accidentally touched the ball with a fingertip over in Munich at the start of the tournament.

                                Apparently the ref admitted he made a mistake in not awarding it, but Tuchel might have made that up.

                                    Alfie-Very stupid, but Saka also tried too hard to deceive the ref.It was obvious from the space station!

                                      Anthony Taylor’s had a decent game so far. I must say though; compared to yesterday, this has been more of a Europa than a CL contest.

                                          Sweddy, kinda know what you mean, good to see a degree of sensibleness going on (but it was the Goonies, so I wouldn’t have been upset with the Peno and red-card! πŸ™‚ )

                                          As for anybody still thinking Saka’s was even in the same time zone as a possible peno they really should see a doctor.

                                            I see all the big players for Liverpool are back, except Matip and Thiago? Very important part of the season to have them back.
