Schär: 7

Burn: 8

Hall: 7

Bruno: 8

Tonali: 9

Joelinton: 8

Murphy: 7.5

Isak: 8

Gordon: 9

Thought Hall was much better than Trippier but otherwise agree.

Guilem Balague is a fucking prick, absolutely despised him when he said PSG deserved their pen because they were so dominant 

Yeah. Was saying because of the xG. They deserved it. I remember the other journos on Euro Leagues, even the PSG supporting Frenchie pulling him up on it. 
 

Closet Barca fan, Liverpool supporting bellend.

Thought it was going wide but only seen one replay. 

Just watched it back on Sky Sports highlight on YouTube and seems like it would have hit the post and went in

 

Correct decision to disallow it, it's the stupid law that needs changing 

[alexf]

I think that red card is a clear easy discussion. If you don't like Newcastle they you will convince yourself it was an accident. If you are an unbiased spectator then it's a red all day. 

 

My spurs supporting brother in law came in and saw it and said red all day.

Shouldn’t it have been an OG anyway? Since Bruno handled it accidentally, but he wasn’t the goal scorer because deflected in off Digne. 

Yeah - regardless of it being accidental/hand position it's handball if it goes straight in off your arm, or you score after it hits your arm (eg Wilson vs Brentford away a couple of years ago).

 

Looked from the final replay that it was going wide and went in off the Villa defender though, in which case goal should have stood as an OG I believe. Haven't seen it again though to double check.

Villa looking the most likely to win this tbh. Very strong with and without the ball. So lucky we got that crazy goal so early.

Oh, I can't forsee sendings off like you clearly can. Sorry.

They were getting battered even before the sending off, you are deliberately negative.

Fair rules might book Joelinton for a raised arm but would book Rogers for simulation. Joelinton did not touch his face.

 

When VAR is called to clear the potential red, they really should be able to book the simulation. Only way to stamp it out.

Quite impressive to be wrong on this many levels.

Just back from the club watching the match, why was the supposed offside goal disallowed

Isak was beyond the keeper. Only one opposing player between him and the goal line.

Again, if only I was able to predict red cards that massively swing games the way you can. You are the best.

Double checked and Bruno's goal clearly comes off the defender. Looked like it was going wide, or at best on to the post without so I reckon should have been an own goal.

 

Didn't affect anything but probably was something VAR missed. I presume they assumed it went in off Bruno and didn't check for anything else.

Isak beyond the goalkeeper I think. Needs to be two Villa players behind the keeper.

You just rewriting history now? They'd grown into the game and their press was causing us lots of problems. Then dickhead got sent off.

Yep, even the commentators were clueless about this.

DiscrimiVARtion.

Wonderful, combination of continuing our recent good form, decent opposition and it being Boxing Day making it a special day.

You've clamped him there like. When Villa went down to 10 men we were only..hold on, this can't be right..it says here that we were 1 nil up and dominating every stat.
