Zero Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 He dived, he got a yellow card, that's it, well justified. To say "if it is blah blah blah" is meaningless. We should be ashamed for what he did instead of defending him FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Definite dive and the right decision, but it was the same as Alli who ‘won’ the penalty, which all pundits agreed was a penalty. Strange that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 It was a dive and it wasn’t a penalty but if exactly the same incident had taken place in the other box and involved Sterling or Aguero then a penalty would have followed. 100% certain it would have been given the other way. Exactly what we all said, Yes theres contact, not enough to bring him down so no penalty....had it been Aguero, PELANTY! Aye, the pundits would all have been saying how it was clever play to draw the foul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Tough luck lately for Gayle; unlucky not to score in last couple of games; and getting dogs’ abuse for making perfectly understandable split-second decision to go down. Wrong decision, but hindsight is wonderful. Hope he’s able to pop back into shape mentally for Brighton (On which, I wish Shearer would ‘curb his enthusiasm’ for making harsh personal criticism of current players: Thauvin, Mitrovic, Shelvey, Gayle. Ranting like a random, doesn't help). Gayle still our best bet to score. I think he missed both Brighton games last year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I've seen the replays now and there was a touch - but I think his exaggerated actions didn't help. If it'd been the other way on Aguero it'd have been given IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Definite dive and the right decision, but it was the same as Alli who ‘won’ the penalty, which all pundits agreed was a penalty. Strange that! This was my first thought too. Fucking hate Alli mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Thing is, when a player does it well, and gets the free-kick/penalty, he's often considered 'canny' or 'clever'. Most successful team have an element of this 'canniness' and it is often just part and parcel of a winning mentality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Couldn't give a fuck about diving when you're playing against the richest team in the world owned by murderers and slave owners This is diving as opposed to shooting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Awful today. Thought he was as lively myself, good positions etc. but wasn’t played in enough times. Did most of his best work a bit deeper mind... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did most of his best work a bit deeper mind... Just came in to ask if anyone else thinks Rafa has changed his game recently? Seems all over the pitch rather than in the channels and in behind, looks much better on the ball as well if I'm being honest. At the expense of goals though?

He was all over the pitch today, far too deep at times for my liking though. Murphy at one point ran toward their box and Shelvey was ahead of Gayle in getting forward!

Is this Rafa's answer to the fact he's not going to cut it as a 9 in the PL I wonder, in conjunction with the fact Gayle also appears to think his hamstrings are gone...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 A few times he could have ran in behind them or ran at them Today and he checked back, almost reluctant. Whether that’s confidence or not I’m not sure. He’s showing he has more to his game, but at what detriment to his true game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't get a look in for months with rumors of his head going over his hamstrings, suddenly he's back yet not leading the line but showing hitherto unbeforeseen sides to his game. No coincidence imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 He's very hit and miss, no consistency in his performances. Sometimes his link-up play is nice, sometime's it's terrible (against Brighton). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
