I think he was spot on with the Welbeck decision, that was a stupid dive ... could you please stay on your feet, for gods sake? Really pissed me off when he went down like that. There probably was some contact, but not like that ...
The Young/Lloris decision was horrible though.
how do you go in like that without conceding a penalty? Horrible call. That's a penalty and at least a yellow card every day of the week.
As for the Januzaj decision, I think Adnan paid for the reputation that he sadly has already. We all know he goes down rather easily, and that's something that they'll need to work on and try to get it out of his game. That being said, Rose didn't even go for the ball, he simply stepped into Januzaj and that's a clear foul by Rose if you ask me. See how he doesn't even try to get to the ball:
Both Young and Januzaj paid for their reputation IMO. Even more reasons to get that bull#### diving out of their game ... I don't want United to be that way. It sickens me when skilled players cheat like that ... it's the only thing that really irks me about fantastic players like Bale and Ronaldo as well.
So after all, that's two major games in a row where Webb made decisive mistakes. Too bad, normally I like the guy. That being said, United only have to blame themselves. Their defense was shambolic at both goals as Tottenham was really good on the counter-attack ... Evra is a huge liability out there. We all know that Lennon always causes him nightmares, but that was brutal yesterday. Also, more than enough possession and goal chances to still win the game. Really unnecessary loss.
