[Alan]

Barkley looks so much more mature now. Been quite shocked last couple of times I’ve seen him play

I wasn't sure when they signed him if he'd even see the pitch all that often, much less become nearly the first name on their team sheet!

One for the shirt pedants out there:

Lucas Ocampos is currently playing as a striker for Sevilla (partnering Rafa Mir at the moment, no less), wearing #5.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Trafford is bloody awful on crosses

 

[Jack Regan]

I was just about to post he'd been commanding his area surprisingly well too.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He knows he's badly misjudged that, never getting there and tried to buy a foul. Get fucked.

More than deserved for Luton.

I concur... could have gone either way but I think that's a fair goal.

 

[Carrotdude]

Very surprised they didn’t overturn that given how much keepers usually get

 

[Jack Regan]

I think it's a foul if he had a chance of claiming the cross. He doesn't, so the right decision.

 

[White Wolf]

Clearly hasn't got there so goes down, not a foul at all.

It's a joke isn't it? They treat GKs like QBs.

 

[ROVERT47]

From being a mouthy little twat when he played I’m surprised how laid back Bellamy is nowadays.

 

[Jack Regan]

You'd never guess that Rachel Brown-Finnis was a) a goalkeeper and b) from Burnley would you?

Yeah that’s what I mean, I’m surprised they didn’t rule the goal out as usually any contact with a keeper is an instant foul

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Probably bloody loves The Kardashians too

 

[jd1981]

It shouldn’t be a foul but more often than not they’re given as fouls on the keeper so you can probably question the consistency of the refs. For me it’s shit goalkeeping

I hear you and agree.

The difference in what is/isn’t a foul based on who it’s against and where on the pitch it happens drives me bonkers. Glad to see it applied “properly” (at least IMO).

Your fellow American disagrees with you Alan (not surprisingly). Should stick to hockey where that would have been called as a fairly legal hip check.

He was the best midfielder on the pitch against Chelsea.

The Phil Neville of the Watt family.



Not really true

 

[jd1981]

Nevertheless the more I look at it the more I’m amazed it wasn’t given as a foul.
Reality Trafford just needs to stay at home and he catches the header.
I think Adebayo knows what he’s doing turns his back knowing it’ll block off Trafford.
