Indy 3,315 Posted December 10, 2022 Definitely a penalty, Saka is like a rabbit in headlights needs to come off for Rashford and we need a Maddison to unlock that defence, might think of taking Henderson off. I can’t believe how slow we are, it’s like watching Norwich! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,275 Posted December 10, 2022 17 minutes ago, Capt. Pants said: Honestly this ref. One of our midfield have to support Saka better. Never thought I would hear myself saying this but I would take Saka off and bring Grealish on as he is far more likely to get dangerous free kicks because of the way he plays and draws fouls.

Trevor Hockey's Beard 528 Posted December 10, 2022 That's two fouls on Saka not given. Both in good positions, one leading to their goal. The penalty shout, harder to call, but it is difficult to believe that Fifa are not conspiring against us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We haven't seen an angle which shows whether it was in the box or not, but that surely has to be the only reason VAR didn't call the ref over. Just seen replay of Saka foul and yes it was a foul.

I can’t believe how slow we are, it’s like watching Norwich! Henderson off and Madders on for me too. Henderson is too slow for this game, and looks likely to give the ball away at any moment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the boot was on the other foot, we'd be saying that contact was minimal and not enough to warrant a foul. It's one of those where the French would say it's never a foul, but most of the English would. I think the ref has missed a couple of fouls on England players in the attacking third, but that was not one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAR should pick that up as its the same passage of play. It's a clear and obvious foul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a definite foul, I'm sure even the VAR recognised that which is why the check so long, and they were checking whether it was in or out. But we still haven't seen a replay that shows it one or way the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
