    Chelsea really try everything to skirt around the rules don't they. Hopefully they get called out on that as it's blatant that they are selling to themselves to get around PSR rules. This isn't selling old land to a development company or housing scheme etc.

    Solanke with a very nicely taken goal for the lead. Kambwala all over the place.

    Bournemouth just walking the ball into the United box - totally unchallenged, 2-1

    Man United should be grateful they're just 2-1 down at half-time. Only bottom of the table Sheffield United have conceded more shots than Man United this season.

    It could have been 3 or 4 for Bournemouth. Onana with a couple of good saves and Utd very lucky that it was a defender (Kerkez) for that header on the crossbar instead of, say, Solanke.

    I'm conscious that some of the Utd players aren't always fit for purpose, but my god, the setup is baffling. The lines are so far apart, there are spaces everywhere. There are glimpses of the good technique there is in the team, but glimpses is all it is. Even assuming limited resources, I would expect Ten Haag to try something different. Not very likely that you will get vastly different results when trying the same thing over and over.

    Bruno scores the pen - what is handball varies from game to game.

    Shocking decision to give a penalty for that.

    Man United level from a penalty. So needlessly given away. They should have closed down Mainoo, but it was a nothing shot, that was going wide, deflected off Christie onto Smith's arm who is adjudged to have moved his arm towards the ball. So Bournemouth who should have been 3 ahead, find themselves level.

    All Smity was doing was turning to match the changing direction of the ball. It’s more like a penalty you’d see given by a ref in the Champions League.

    Smith should have claimed he was falling. Apparently you're allowed to move your hand to the ball and dribble it basketball style if you are falling.

    Good to referee booking the Bournemouth player for a dive there.

    Hard to know whether this is inside or outside the box.

    The on field decision was penalty and it's VAR's job to prove that it's not a penalty, otherwise stays as a penalty.

    Edit: and that it does

    No foul, until he entered the box, and he dragged him to the ground, the tackle wasn't the foul ffs

    The foul looked like it was just inside the box, definitely on the line.

    They can feel disappointed to not win that game.

    Manchester clubs, they get easy penalties from officials, and then officials do their best to make sure they don't concede one. He was 2 foot in side the box, the tackle made no contact with ball or man, the man tried to stay on his feet, to push on into the box,even riding the initial grab, until the full weight of the grab finally brought him down.. which is the foul, the player had a right to push on into the box, to try stay upright, it was only when he was going past the United player that the United player went full on to foul him.

    The United pen is a shocker, but the VAR overturn for the Bournemouth one is correct IMO. You can make an argument that contact continues inside, but I feel that making such a claim is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

    Still not sure how VAR proved it was a “clear and obvious error”


    No one could tell from the replay so the on field decision should stand surely?

    Foul is outside the box. Just outside mind so right decision there. Shame about the nonsense for the United penalty though. Short of amputating his own arm I fail to see how the defender can avoid it there.

    The most irritating thing is that once a referee gives a decision, the absolute gymnastics that begin in terms of trying to justify why it was actually the correct decision.

    I saw it originally on r/reddevils so assumed it was real. Just went for a snoop and I think this is the account. It wasn't showing up in a search but clicking an @ brought me to it.
