Luke Shaw having a good game again. Utd look a reasonable side again now since the arrival of Fernandez and with McTominay back.
Lingard's still crap though.

 

[arklowolf]

Sure Rooney was flogging second hand hookey lawnmowers and power tools at the car boot by us last Saturday. Be Jaysus boss.

 

[arklowolf]

Easy win for Utd. Shaw m.o.m. Fair enough.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

That's appalling defending from Liverpool.

Gomez weak as piss against Wilson and then Milner has to send Billing outside, he's all left foot so don't show him onto that side, created the space for the overlap and then it's game over.

Burnley fans singing "your brother's a twat, your brother's a twaaaaat, Eric Dier: your brother's a twat" has cheered me right up :icon_lol:

Was the clearest of pushes on Gomez. Rest is then irrelevant. I have no idea how it wasn’t given on field or then by VAR

There's certainly a push from Wilson but it's powderpuff stuff. I've got no idea what Gomez was looking to do, just sauntering towards the ball like he expected he'd get all the time in the world to do something with it, should've been much more decisive and either hooked it back towards the keeper or just hoofed it away. Probably more chance of him getting a freekick for a late challenge if he's bundled over after playing the ball but his indecision just made him end up looking like a mug.

Well It looked like he was getting their comfortably, and he did. Me defending there, Id be confident of getting the ball down and giving myself a few options. 1, the shithouse option, put it in the stands. 2, the safe option, pass it back to the keeper. 3, fake the keeper and try and take it out left and sustain possession in their half.

I imagine he was trying either of the latter options, but when he slowed down he got a blatant push, but he’s not fell over as he’s not expecting it. If he does like players do when they are breathed on near the byline or sideline, then he gets the foul. We all go made when a defender falls over under no pressure and gets the FK when in a tight situation. Then a defender gets a blatant push and doesn’t fall over and is punished. It falls under the category of “Howler” for me and defeating the purpose of VAR

I wouldn't be screaming against it if the referee had given a foul but I still think it's incredibly weak and naive from Gomez, he gets there first and should be able to do something with it. If he's a bit sharper then the push is irrelevant as he'd either be strong enough to overcome it or have dealt with the ball quickly enough to render it pointless, he's been careless and he's then relying on the referee bailing him out when it should've been all in his own hands.

 

[Sniffer]

Still 5th.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Never a foul on Gomez for me.

 

[Jack Regan]

Brilliant turn and finish by Mount gives Chelsea the lead against Everton. Pickford beaten on his near post (Roy Keane will be loving that) should probably have done better with it.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

2-0 Chelsea, too easy to get in behind Everton today.

 

[Jack Regan]

2-0! Pedro, another very well worked goal.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

God fourth place Chelsea are shit!

Doing to Everton what we should have done to Brighton allegedly

Can we shut up about fourth place now for a few weeks and concentrate on winning a few games and see where it takes us?

 

[Tredman]

Utd score thanks to a ridiculous free kick from Mike Dean

What's Mike Dean doing taking free kicks for Utd?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Meh, either switch on properly and/or have your keeper make a simple save.

Can't blame the ref there, it was rank stuff by City.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think City now care about the Champions League and the FA Cup. They know the league is gone and don't give a shit now.

 

[Carrotdude]

Looked close to offside too but I didn’t see VAR looking at it
