United just keep pulling it out of the bag

Better enjoy this football, I have a feeling we may be stopped again soon for a few weeks or months.

That was a desperate game. Everton very poor going forward. I find Richarlison quite frustrating to watch and I’m a neutral.

you should view him as a Liverpool fan watching a nasty challenge putting a good player out for half a season. The best thing I could say about him is "He's not Pickford"

yourdeadwright

I reckon Liverpool will go into the United game behind them in the table
It'll l be a huge game

.G.

33 points after 16 games will be the lowest points total at the top of the league since 2001-02. Shows how much the standards have dropped off this season, not just compared to the last few but to all them! Back then the eventual winners only had 30!

it was easy to win the league back then

Awful decision

yourdeadwright

How soft is that

Pogba clips his own legs and gets a penalty. LOL

mightyreds

Var is some joke

rob316

Awful from VAR. Pogba clearly throws himself to the ground

El Gato De Negocios

Well done VAR, correct decision.

doc_17

Awful, awful decision.

dirkmeister

Haha f*cking LOLZ at that.

He tripped himself.

The White Feather

How did that decision stand? He tripped over his own feet

doc_17

Brilliant defending from Aaron Bad Haircut

Mushy

Luiz gets too close to him and pogbas foot clips that, causing him to trip himself. Happens often enough and certainly a penalty

simongurnick

Worst pen I've ever seen
How VAR didn't pull it us beyond me. Clearly fell over himself

Think they've got some soft ones this year but thought that was stonewall, Luiz' leg pushed pogbas left leg into his right, was a clear foul.

Its clear and obvious and the VAR team made the correct call.

It might just be the angle that doesn't show the PP's leg hitting Luiz' first but the angle they showed twice was very soft.

radiata

Var doing their best to give utd the title. They must have gained at least 10 points from it now

doc_17

This notion of “contact” is bizarre. Once it’s invoked people seem to think that’s it. It’s not a clear cut penalty just because there’s “contact”.

You called PP "clever". Why would he be clever if he was genuinely fouled? :rolleyes:

niallo27

27 pens now for utd since ole took over, 7 more than anyone else. Utd will never have a better chance to win the league.

Not a chance. Two lads running side by side and one trips himself up. Worst decision I've ever seen

doc_17

What a ball that was from Pogba.

one of my pet peeves. contact doesn't mean foul. its a contact sport

yourdeadwright

Theres a clip from aboutb30 seconds before the penalty ofPogba telling Shaw to dive., you really cant write this
