mighty__mag Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Cole Palmer looked like Matt Le Tissier today, never payed too much attention to the lad, his performance against Luton was really impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) That Villa penalty totally pathetic that's a pen nowadays. Guy running away from goal gets a tiny tap, takes a step then collapses, and they get a basically guaranteed goal for it Edited December 31, 2023 by TaylorJ_01 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Nah. The Isak one was soft and I didn’t think it was a pen. The non-penalty earlier on Isak was more of a foul, I thought. But the Duran one was far worse that it was given. It’s a dive after being brushed on the side of his foot, following a heavy touch and running away from goal in a crowded box. I see we are back to the ‘well, there is contact’ argument from pundits. Seemingly the refs think the same. It isn’t a non-contact sport FFS.

But the refs gave it in both instances and the ‘there’s contact’ stops VAR from intervening. Weak as piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I saw such a terrible clear assault of a fowl was when Matty Cash tripped Bentancur over and sent him to live in heaven with the angles.

Guest Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 You wouldn't bet on Everton getting many points in the next 4 games. They're in a relegation battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Bournemouth finding their form against us, Everton finding their form against us, and now also Nottingham? Not sure whether we just handed them the lifeline, or if they stepped up their game against us. Edited December 31, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've just lost 3 in a row and that could easily go to 7 looking at their next games. They should be fine, but they're in trouble if Luton keep picking up.

Even if Luton do pick up, Brentford will decline just as quick- looking at Brentford’s fixtures there’s a very good chance they won’t get any more points until Burnley match in March.

Last night in the Man Utd game the Forest defender passed the ball back to the keeper, he skied his clearance which then bounced back into his hands. It should have been a backpass and I cant understand why it wasn't given, did the commentary team mention anything at the time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
