Premier Lg EPL Matchday 15 & 16 - On Optus Sport

[RPCB]

I will never understand why a player does so well to beat his man and then falls to the ground dramatically looking for a free kick. What’s the point of it? You’ve already taken on and beaten the defender.

Cause soccer

It's like when guys are more interested in poking the ball past the keeper and earning a penalty than shooting for goal

 

[Topkent]

Personally I think that's a rubbish penalty. Antonys touch was crap and he poked it away. The contact doesn't matter

 

[SC_Power]

Up and running. All that firepower and it's a defender who scores for us.

I mean your defense and defensive midfield literally scored all the goals last week aswell

Essentially the first ones all year, TAA equaliser v City and Robbo earlier the only others that weren’t Salah, Nunez, Jota, Gakpo, Diaz (23 in total)

 

[RPCB]

Well, a penalty like that was bound to eventually miss lol.

 

[Topkent]

Justice maybe

 

[Bradesmaen]

Lold surprised he didn't give it to Hojlund

The real story for me is Hojlund on the follow up
Seriously have the Utd forwards gone union and refusing to score now?

(Late Edit: Apologies, looks like it was Garnacho not Hojlund. Doh.)

It's so strange to hear Paul Merson describe Utd and Chelsea both playing brilliantly. I'd expected a dour 0-0, maybe instead, another 4-4?

 

[RPCB]

How to turn Sanchez into a good keeper? Shoot/pass the ball right at him lol.

 

[Topkent]

Lol at sterling being in so much agony you could hear him on the broadcast only to be up and ready to score on the counter. Can't stand that part of the sport

Paul merson is a rolled gold moron

He is entertaining mind. I still remember when he dropped half a sandwich down himself on live TV.

 

[Topkent]

Chelsea have been horrific to start united probably should be ahead regardless of the penalty

 

[Topkent]

He's just a really loud idiot. Makes a stupid point then thinks it's more valid because he yells it

 

[RPCB]

Amazing what effort and pressing can do for a side.

I very much expect to look like shit on toast for the next 70 minutes though.

 

[RPCB]

Easy yellow card to give. Silly these days.

 

[Thistle]

That was coming, we've been very sloppy so far. Opportunities on the break if someone can make the right decision with the final pass

 

[Topkent]

Sterling is such a diving flog

 

[Thistle]

Appalling dive by Sterling. He would have had a shot if he didn't fall as well

 

[RPCB]

So check complete/no penalty. So it was a dive? Yet no yellow card for simulation.

Can only be paid by the ref on field. Think they are scared of looking silly on Var but the card gets rescinded anyway.

 

[darth_timon]

Does seem strange not to show Sterling a yellow, if there's no penalty. As ever, referring remains consistently inconsistent.

Second time he's gone down in a heap without contact aswell.

Should get a retrospective ban if the mythical panel still remember to meet up
