That tackle by Casemiro was awful. VAR can’t correct it though because it’s not a red card offence. So no booking and Man U still get the free kick. Farcical.
Ref’s had an iffy start. Casemiro’s tackle given the wrong way, blatant Man U corner given as goal kick and the foul given to Haaland when he slipped over.
Hope he grows into the game, but not looking brilliant so far.
Can't raise your hands like that. Has to be a pen.
You have to be joking? He's jumped in the air and is less than half a yard a way. What's he supposed to do with his arms, jump with them by his side like he's being fired out of cannon?
It's a crazy rule and definitely needs to be looked at.
Back to basics. The handball law was introduced at the very outset of Association Football to stop players deliberately using their hands guide the ball. The modern interpretation is absolute bollocks.

Amen!
Same with the offside law. Drawing lines and making calls when theres millimetres in it is just mental.
Been an interesting one for VAR. Casemiro's challenge could have been a red, the handball might have been letter of the law but it didn't affect the flight of the ball at all, which was going nowhere. Then no pen for De Bruyne off what looked like a foul from Fred. Delighted that we will get to spend halftime discussing that instead of the actual football.

Good old long ball from the keeper and a flick on
Knew City would be looking to kill this off early to rest players for the CL but blimey.
Farcical.

Written by the blokes that like drawing lines on football pitches who have probably never kicked a ball in their lives.
