Correct decision to rule it out.

 

It wasnt shoulder to shoulder. It was shoulder, to back, with pretty excessive force.

Go f**k yourself

Palmer done a Sterling there. Wonder if he's going to get the abuse Sterling would have if he did it. 

Actually thought he would just square it off seeing as the angle was against him, such a shame.

Is it just me or has he actually played well 2nd half

I think you're right!

Moral victory 4-2 tonight by my reckoning ... or 5-1 if we count Cucu's goal as well LOL

Referee clearly sighted gave it. Would we have been given a penalty the other way around? I doubt it

Credit to the team to come back from 2-0 down.

But that goal being disallowed! I’m shattered !

I would say the defender needs to be stronger. 

Hard to be stronger when you get a shoulder to the back.

Caicedo and Conor pivot.

4 attackers in attack.

We should have been doing this for months, and if we had we'd be in a much better position.

Much the better side tonight. Unlucky and denied by c**ts.

Its been clear since the beginning of the season that only one of Connor or Enzo should be playing beside Moises but Poch doesnt have a clue

Looked like a foul live to me ?

Fairplay to the teamtalk this match as seemed like another leathering was on the cards at HT

Enzo is better out of the team. Jackson is the king of misses. Should get 45 mill for Connor at least in a few weeks ! 

But what a great second half performance from the lads, superb effort and so unlucky in the end.

That 2nd half Chelsea is more like it, let's see it for 90 mins.

I'm off , have a good evening you lot 

I was genuinely in shock the goal was disallowed. I couldn’t believe it.

Would the referee award us a penalty if the roles were reversed? Hell no.

I'll take the point away to the 4th place team.

We were robbed. How the hell they saw enough in that to overturn the original decision is ridiculous. Anyway proud of the team. Honestly was expecting a battering with the team we had out and the lack of experience on bench. Madueke was my MOTM. He terrorised Digne all game. Caicedo was excellent second half. Gallagher top performance too but I felt the pundits didn't give Madueke enough credit. He was sensational.

Brilliant 2nd half, didnt see that coming. 

Probably was a foul, but not much in it, Carlos didnt even appealed he cant have thought there was much contact, and in that is a really low bar to overrule the on field decision. Definitely doesnt count as clear and obvious.

Give away 2 sloppy goals again though, so always an uphill battle with this defence. 

Caicedo fantastic 2nd half.

Good point. Shame Jackson and Mudryk are both still useless sh*t.

 

Enzo as anonymous as usual. 

Ffs,  he wasn't even playing

Same system (VAR) didn't bother to check Arsenal's 3-0. The system is so inconsistent and on the verge of corrupt.

As soon as one brings in a subjective judgement/interpretation, there is a huge potential for corruption.

I would be happy with VAR if it was limited only to offside decisions (and even there you can be sneaky if you wish to).

not our season.. another write off.. the football gods arent on our side.

Maybe instead of spending on players .. should get some prayers offered or something.. 

Worse still Poch gets to play the role of the unlucky one and, God help us, might get a stay of execution.

great 2nd half from the lads - have to say I felt that was totally down to the players who decided to give it ago. I think we all want to see more of that spirit but I am still in the Poch Out camp. We are so poor without the ball, our defence is shambolic - - we've got talented players but they need organisation and discipline, doesn't look like Pochettino can deliver that. 

I thought it was a foul in real time so wasn't surprised VAR told the ref to look at it and that he gave it. Right decision for me 

Well I guess we'll see how many penalties get given for a push in the box in the future....none.....this VAR is a farce when it comes down to it.   But we shouldn't be moaning...   9.5/10 Palmer would have buried that chance.

It was a clear and obvious error. Sorry, I know it's not a popular opinion, but with blue tinted glasses off, it was a clear foul. He literally barged him in his back, with such force that the defender was off balance and couldnt contest the ball.

I doubt it would have been given as a penalty to us.... but it should be if that happens to our striker.

The tactics were dreadful, especially in the first half. We got a point through character and a piece of individual brilliance. Happy with the draw, but once again, there is no sign of a team taking shape.

i also see players who are just confused in the defensive phase..and at times lazy or lose concentration

Well was VAR that disallowed the Jackson goal and that sent him to the screen. Refs don't go against VAR.

I should have just left my initional post

 

Referee: Craig Pawson VAR: Chris Kavanagh

Considering how we started that was excellent. We completely outfought them, and did so with Mudryk doing absolutely nothing.

Look forward to the day that Andy Townsend resembles Craig Burley in more than bias.
