Worst ref and worst VAR this weekend

[Luis Anaconda]

Not sure about gubbed, more robbed. Some shocker of a decision will hand it to 115.

No we are winning

It might be the slow accumulation. 5 or 6 obvious yellow cards ignored, two yellows for one of ours on the 'letter of the law'.

Remember Rodri escaping 3 or 4 times at the Emirates and eventually getting booked for taking his shirt off after scoring the injury time winner. And the travesty of ignoring that second yellow for Kovacic this season.

That's how a ref influences a game. Not with the big decisions that VAR can overturn, but by stealth. At Anfield, Rodri was booked for a poor challenge. On three subsequent occasions he had to avoid dragging someone down and preventing a break because he was on a yellow. Against us he can do it all day. Slowly, it makes a huge difference in a game.

Right. Referees really need to get their cards out early doors, let everyone know they're there. Especially our opposition.

and just so we're clear, Anthony Taylor, was awful. How no City players were booked in that 1st half was a joke.

Arsenal should have had a couple booked, tbf.

The irony of Akanji accusing Arsenal of tactical fouling whilst playing for one of the snidiest, ****housing sides on the planet...

3 or 4 of their fouls were worth a yellow plus the rotational fouling was pretty obvious. I think Jesus was lucky not to have been booked in the 1st half for about 4x fouls but can't think of any 'bad' fouls we made.

I was wrong again - but will take that

At least he was consistent. He didn't book anyone. Jesus thoroughly deserved his yellow when he finally got it 😁

We were all wrong. Happy to be 😁
