five stars

The rules are a fucking joke, it puts the defenders at a massive disadvantage. Referees are expecting defenders to jump and header balls without using their arms. Today's game can fuck off. It is a penalty in today's game, but I'm dismayed at how soft the modern game is. 

All the reasons it shouldn't be a pen-
His arm is in a natural position when jumping.
It deflects off a player so you don't have any opportunity to move it out the way.
He's clearly not trying to make himself bigger.
It's not intentional.
There's no obvious advantage gained from it.
Reasons it should be a penalty-
It hits his arm in the box.
 

Actually agree its time for the old guard mentality to be phased out of this squad
New competition needs brought in this summer

Yeh Matondo’s link up is still poor.
But Silva just isn’t producing. Matondo’s stats in the league are just far better. He has pace and he can cut inside and get you a goal.
Which is enough to justify him ahead of Silva.
Either way we need better in Summer

Couldn't believe some cunts wanted him to stay over Sima 
 

I expected more from him today but he was all over the shop bar a 2 minute spell for the pen and disallowed goal. 
 
The diving was embarrassing, not what I want to see in a game like this. Double chance missed in the first half really bad as well 

His theatrics could have cost us the match if it wasn't for VAR. Can't really blame the ref for thinking he's dived when he's throwing himself all over the place. I'm sure he must be a good player but needs to show it consistently. 

He's been a great servant to the club but he doesn't have the pace anymore to play.
Fortunately, Sterling is ready to take over.
And none of this changing the team around to play him right midfield or whatever. 
It's time.
 

He just absolutely fucked it today and put us on the back foot straight away. If he just launched into the Govan, the Jap wouldn’t have been anywhere near him but his dithering just 20secs in put us on such a back foot, it’s criminal. Offers so much going forward (usually) but he shat it from the first minute against Maeda (who is utter gash btw).
We’ll probably only miss him when he’s gone but in such a momentous game for us you don’t want your captain to fuck up inside the first minute. In a game where you want to say to your entire back 4, “don’t fuck about” we sadly have a back 4 who do. 

Var decides game by game.

How long do you think he has left as our no1 RB?
Should we play a defensive midfield beside him to make up for his snail like pace?

I would go as far as calling him Pure pish man. Pish maybe but that's taking it too far.

Tav has scored some spectacular goals but most of his goals are penalties or free kicks.

Do you think he's a better player than Sterling?
 

Last season he was rotten till about February then he was excellent till the end of the season. 
This season he's been average. Sterling could be better and has a future.
Tav's done at the top level.

Yeah, we should maybe play Boyd too. One of our top scorers.

It's ridiculous, his arm is in the natural position (when jumping)
It also takes a deflection just before if hits him.
The penalty rule is a farce.
