With cheating?

He gets fouled, the referee awards the appropriate punishment. If Bernarderschi stays on his feet the referee probably does nothing and Correa gets away with cheating instead.

 

[Alan]

He’s running full speed and gets a shove, impossible to tell whether it was enough to send him down.

What is possible to tell is that he unnecessarily pushes him and is an idiot.

If that's a shove then I totally give up on any physical play at all.

There's no need to go round putting your hands on another player, regardless of force, it's never going to be a legitimate means of winning the ball.

Your allowed to be physical when competing for the Ball, you aren’t allowed to be physical when not competing for ball

 

[slink]

I initially didn't think it was a penalty but when you see the arm in the back it's clear as day. Correa doesn't argue because he knows what he's done, it's a shocking decision to push him in that position.

watching the Man City Highlights. Ok City are good but........How absolutely wank are Schalke? No pressure on the ball, no tackling no pace and a goalkeeper plucked sraight from a sunday morning park team. About the worst perfromance I have seen at this stage in the Champions league by any team ever. Disgraceful.

Am I being harsh?

 

[YoungWolf]

They just seemed to give up after the first goal went in (and weren't brilliant before that anyway). They are really struggling in the league this season too.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Villa all over Forest. They’ll win the playoffs

 

[Alan]

If Juve's winner yesterday was a pen, then so is that on Lewandowski.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Nah.

Correa was pushing Bernardeschi for a good 10-15 yards on and off. There's nowt in that one, Lewa doesn't even appeal.

 

[Alan]

I do love to see Neuer made to pay for his positioning sense.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

That's lovely composure and improvisation from Mane, see's Neuer coming and just rolls him with ease, cheeky little look up at goal as he's on the turn and chips it into the back of the empty net cutting all the recovering defenders out of the picture. Magic.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Neuer made to look like an absolute chump.

 

[Alan]

Bayern are almost sleepwalking at the moment.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They aren't very good, Kovac is nothing like a good enough manager for them and the likes of Gnabry and Süle are not that level either. Christ, they even bought Sandro Wagner last year, an absolute joke footballer.

 

[Alan]

You'd still expect better from the side top of the Bundesliga.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not really. The level is poor at the moment. It's entertaining enough but it's gone downhill badly over the last couple of years.

 

[Alan]

Oof, Robertson. That's poor as you get.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That's too easy. Not even good play from Bayern.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Not seen someone get done as easily by that move as when I saw Zubar up against Dirk Kuyt, Robertson suckered in by Gnabry going short then spinning behind for the ball over the top, can't get back to recover and Matip sticks the square ball into his own net.
