Not even a review for the potential handball?

 

Nunez looking very promising tonight apart from his finishing. Very good reference point into feet, laying it off, or timing his runs in behind.

 

Drama in Porto: Porto scores but VAR intervenes and decides on penalty for Leverkusen instead. Diogo Costa saves the penalty from Schick. Schick failed to score a penalty against the same keeper in the international break a week ago...

 

this just got called a handball

edit: the video makes it more clear, but not sure what Fati is supposed to do here

 

Calm down, Napoli.

 

For me thats a clear handball, even if it's a little unlucky

 

I get why it is by the definition of the rule, but the goalkeeper pushing it onto him as he goes to catch the keeper from running into him and not changing the direction of the ball at all seems like an easy no call under a better constructed rule. Alas, we have what we have.

 

Ian, don't do this to me.

 

Spurs are just so boring to watch lately.

 

And now Inter get away with a clear handball. Of course.

I don’t understand how our road form is 18 unbeaten in the league and so abysmal away in this.

 

That Dumfries incident looked like a clear handball as well

 

Just saw the ref didn’t even go check the screen when notified.

 

Lol

 

It's me. Ed is generational

 

Spurs need Kulu back. Yesterday wasn’t a bad performance but we just couldn’t quite get it right with our chances. Kane should’ve buried 2 of those.

 

How many will Haaland score tonight - minimum 2 I’d say

 

I actually wonder if Alvarez will get the start in place of Haaland tonight and he is an in case of emergency please break glass sub. Though Pep is super weird about keeping guys in form and playing them more than most managers who have the bench he has but then the run of games going forward is different this year.

 

Yeah tonight should be an easy win, so I could see Pep not starting him

 

Haaland starts, De Bruyne rested.

 

Haaland's probably still playing because he's going to get a break during the World Cup.

 

Ya. City don't play in GW12 in the Premier League either.

 

Completely forgot about that, makes more sense now.
