    Great stuff from Eki



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,222 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Always amazes me how quickly Frimpong seems to bounce back to his feet after falling down



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,222 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Good ball from Jones there if Ekitike was more alert to it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,690 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    Must have been on the edge with the card there for the foul on Grav. Fairly prolonged.

    Think ref might have produced the card in a different ground

    Should be ahead.

    Instead Szob's conceded a pen. Trailing arm......probably wouldn't get that in the PL TBH on VAR alone, but European ref, fair enough. Low threshold etc

    Anyway 1-0

    Ekitike should have passed to Frimpong there.

    Nothing in that from Szobozlai.

    That is awful soft. Felt Szobo's hand and just collapsed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,935 ✭✭✭Damien360


    Should be embarrassed going down like that for a penalty



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 447 ✭✭505_


    Terrible back heel from Wirtz to set them away.

    Still should have plenty to win this comfortably enough. Have created chances easily enough.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,222 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Yeah that's a hard one



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,539 ✭✭✭✭TitianGerm


    You won't see a softer penalty given in the CL this season.

    Any little touch from now on just throw yourself to the ground



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,222 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Finally a sequel to Lazar Markovic's red card

    Galatasaray are fairly open at the back if we could just pick the right pass.



  • Administrators Posts: 56,309 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    I’d also say Wirtz should have just hit it rather than rolling it back. No confidence in himself at all.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,650 ✭✭✭SM01


    That's an awful penalty call. Szob literally tapped him. That's a clear and obvious error from the ref and a yellow for a dive.

    An awful Soft penalty



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,195 ✭✭✭dogbert27


    Shot cleared off the line and then concede a soft penalty.

    Ref is allowing them their play acting too.

    It was never going to be an easy game but having a penalty like that given against you doesn't help.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,690 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    Wasted FK



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,222 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Don't mind the idea getting it out to Szobo to cross from the opposite wing, just poorly executed



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,690 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    Even Shearer can spot it. That ball needs to be back in first time

    So sloppy. Struggling to match their intensity in problem areas. Any bad touch they are on us.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,013 ✭✭✭Infoseeker1975


    The ref is useless, every time they fall to the ground he gives a free so correctly they keep falling to the ground:)



  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 9,804 Mod ✭✭✭✭mayordenis


    I think the penalty was the least bad of 3 horrendous decisions so far, the pull on Grav when had turned his man and was beginning a break had to be a yellow, the shirt pulling on Ekitike when he was through for that 1-on-1 you can argue is a red, but surely had to be a yellow, penalty is insanely soft but at least there is something there.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,690 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    Decent effort from Wirtz. Little bit of quality and chances will come



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,944 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Wirtz gets it on target, awkward for him, should have scored from the corner.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,222 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Konate can get his head on it but he's useless at putting them on target



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,352 ✭✭✭IrishOwl...


    God there wasn't a midfielder within 30 yards of VvD as he won that header. Strange looking.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,944 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Konate not looking happy at all.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,195 ✭✭✭dogbert27


    There's a red card coming their way if they keep these tackles up. We need to keep plugging away and breaking with pace.
