Haha, he's turned it back round and fair play to him. Those 15 games post-WC where he minced about offering no threat and missed any chance he did get were seriously worrying.

Didn't want to write him off in January or February, but come march I was accepting he wasn't the same player anymore. Today he looked as fit as he ever has for us, hopefully it continues

Whatever the reason for the past 3 months, it's a relief to see he still has these performances in his locker. I was wondering if he was past the point of no return.

 

Now it's just a question of working out what makes the difference and working to those criteria. I suspect they already know internally, mind.

 

If it's all about overworked legs and exhaustion, hopefully rotation and semi-backup status will work out perfectly for everyone next season.

 

I'm assuming Isak is back in on Saturday?

Robbed of a goal from what I could see. Had his arm across his own stomach. What more could he do to avoid it?

Don't think it's down to whether it's intentional or not anymore unfortunately. I think if it hits your arm regardless it's ruled out. 

 

I may be wrong.

 

I probably am. 

 

Fuck it we won I'm gonna sink a few pints.

Certainly wasn't a clear and obvious error - total guess from VAR whether it hit his arm.

Believe you're right but it's ridiculous. As I understand it, another rule changed to give VAR something to do/spoil.

Irrelevant - if the ball hits his hand it’s automatically disallowed under the new laws

It hit the outside of his upper bicep from what I could see.

 

With the rest of his arm going across his body, meaning his silhouette was basically torso+shoulder.

This sort of handball, where the arm is close to the body and if you didn't have arms it would have just hit the torso is ridiculously harsh. 

As others said, it hits the advert patch on his sleeve so I thought anything above the sleeve wasnt handball? 

They need to change the phrase "handball" then if we're top of the arm.
