He brought the Atletico with him to England. That was ridiculous.

I presume Forest will be without Henderson.
In the interview after the game it was brought up to Cooper and you could tell he hasnt realized till that moment, said it was bittersweet but he wouldnt be able to play

Kepa was all over the place for the second goal too. Almost as if he was scared of the ball.

they're just not a good team. Chalobah has been atrocious.

Kepa is kind of under the radar for worst signing in PL history, but surely he is way up there.

Is he still the most expensive keeper in the World?

He isnt giving them a lot for £147K a week.

Kepe has been pretty good this year, won his job back

Still an overpayment, but he can still play a bit

Never understood teams spending big on keepers, I think this was one of Wengers biggest things he always brought up

Cech played till 38?
Lloris is already 36, will play till at least 38
Van Der saar played till 40 or 41?

If a keeper is good it seems to last, so why pay over the odds for a 23 or 24 year old, buy a late 20s/early 30s keeper who you know can handle the pressure, accept you gave no sell on value, but only need to spend money on the position once every 8 or 9 years

Not sure how that first goal counted, pretty clear offside on Rashford. Standard of reffing in the league continues to be extremely poor.

Yeah if thats not interfering with play from an offside position then nothing is.

No idea how VAR overturned that, the linesman had it right. Might be the worst VAR decision i've ever seen, and i say that as someone who hates City.

Yeah I wouldn't care either if I were a United fan. I also would know that in another game or two similarly crappy reffing will cost them too, so take it while you can get it and all that. But it's still embarrassing how bad the reffing is in the "greatest league in the world".

How was he interfering with play.?

And what are you talking about VAR overturning it? The linesman flagged Rashford, realized that he wasn't involved in the play then nodded to Bruno.

Ref went over to talk to him. He confirmed this and ref immediately confirmed a goal. The call on the pitch was a goal by the ref.

VAR was not involved at all.

It's no worse than anywhere else. That we learned from the WC.

On what grounds should that goal have been disallowed? How exactly was he interfering?

How was he not interfering lol. Take the break and enjoy it, but if the roles were reversed you'd be livid, and deservedly so.

Lol. Great. I've got nothing so I'll post a nothing tweet.

From your tweet articulate who exactly he prevented from playing the ball.
I'm assuming you're in agreement he's not blocking goalie's line of vision.

Answer the question. Who was he interfering with and how? Who was he preventing from playing the ball? How was he blocking keeper's vision?

What is the point of that tweet except to argue against yourself?
