Therein lies the difference between us and them.
Can guarantee their dressing room has thought all along they'd win the league. Bordering on arrogance, no doubt.
They have a culture of winning, we don't.
The writing was on the wall with that first half performance last week.
No team truly capable of winning the title would crumble like that. Partly why I could barely get excited by us snatching a draw.
Genuinely think it's about 50/50
I dont think anyone can deny that them winning against us at home is the most likely of the 3 possible outcomes on that day. Even weighing up them winning against us either winning or drawing - the odds probably still sit in their favour.
Counterbalanced by them being more likely to drop points elsewhere as shown this season.
We're still (fairly) strong favourites for the league which I'm a bit surprised at given we've still to go to theirs where they will 100% be heavy favourites.
Yeah makes sense.
Tbh I didn't watch it back properly until now (was too fuming at time and don't watch HT/FT analysis)
There's plenty time for him to get his foot out the way which I think is the key factor. Like you say almost 2 different incidents.
Also think the contact on the ball being so minimal also plays a role.
But doesn't nicking the ball mean it's not a penalty?
See it loads.
Only time getting the ball is usually ignored is if its an overly forceful tackle.
Definitely seems to be a grey area tbh
