Pep's refusal to sign a decent left back and shove centre halves out there is biting him this season

It's a complete blind spot for him. He's bought about half a dozen of them in his time there.

Seems that his tactic is the 3 ATB though. Not sure that goal is because he’s a CB/LCB/LB either, just dreadful.

Conor Gallagher is just a hot Dave Edwards.

 

[Squeak]

But Haaland pulled his first, so that's a free kick the other way then?

Debateable. They were both pulling each otehrs shirt but the decisive one was the pull that stopped Haaland attacking the ball. Clear and obvious penalty. Well done Taylor.

You are the Owen Jones of TWF, whatever your opinion is 9/10 the opposite is true

But Owen Jones is a fucking arsehole to boot.

Surely Squeak isn't one of those?

Let's not bait for a rumble please

Touché, got ahead of myself.

Wasn't aimed at you..

Forgive me for having my own opinion. Watch it again without being influenced by the commentators. Who is Owen Jones?

Just read up on him.... left wing activist apparently... fuck no.

I did, Haaland makes the first foul, that then makes the rest irrelevant

It doesn't though because Taylor didn't see the six of one or half a dozen of the other as being a foul. He did what most ref's do and let it go and then there was the blatant pull on the shirt stopping Haaland attacking the ball. I think it was the right decision. And, to really wind you up, I actually think Taylor has had a good game so far. That non-handball decision was brilliant.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Huge deflection.

 

[Tony Towner]

It's brilliant to not give a penalty because it hit a player’s head? That's some low bar

Was Walkers hand in a natural position when the keeper cleared it? Nah, missed that one , disagree on the penalty though, been fair otherwise, still a big decision against Chelsea will cost them.

Well if you watched a different game today, you will have seen the same thing overturned after the ref did give the pen.

Haaland grabs cucurella first, every after that is irrelevant
