That, I am not disagreeing with.
I'm simply saying that as per the rules he wasn't interfering.
But I totally get the optics and the argument that he was
actually interfering. eg There's no doubt his presence affected Ederson getting set to stop a shot.
But there's no rule against that.
Anyways. By next week it'll be just over half way and United will have Arsenal and City over with.
I wouldn't put them in title talk but there's definitely a team forming there. Love that he's n not afraid to make the big decisions like Shaw to CB when needed.
