Yes I am griping because they wouldn't sell him to Leeds during the off-season, and now our defense (mostly due to injuries to the defenders we did actually buy) is one of the worst in the league.I mean I hate the ridicule English fans give to foreign leagues but I don't get the outrage at oil money that some have but then also ridicule the German league and Leipzig 'selling' Upamecano to Bayern (not like Upamecano had a release clause or anything). Leipzig are a special case with their RB link and developing youth is their policy more so than most other clubs but if you don't have a super-rich external owner to help you out you can't just give Upamecano a new 200k a week contract and promise signings collectively worth over £100mil in the summer. And yep without us or City it would have been a lot more one-sided the Premier League. Just looking at past winners - in the first 21 years of the Premier League - Man Utd win 17 times if you look at the highest placed side that isn't Chelsea or Man City. Arsenal win the other 4 times.
Think that underplays the achievement from us tbh, this was an Atletico side that knocked out a prime Liverpool side last season and are arguably even stronger now. This time last week had only lost once in the League and UCL combined since October and that was against Real Madrid. Not an ideal couple of games v Levante but they've not become a bad side overnight. Just hope we can see the job through in the 2nd leg as Joao Felix will only be fitter and better having just come back from Covid recently.
Honestly this has nothing to do with VAR, just Lee Mason's incompetence, same thing happened with a Mark Cooper free-kick at Elm Park in the 90s.
It was Lee Mason’s fault. But he rightly ruled the goal out based on his second whistle and it took five minutes to sort out due to VAR.
He didn't rightly rule anything out, he used VAR as a crutch, goal should have stood.
No. He blew his whistle while the ball was on its way in.
Poor coaching to blame.Brighton...
25 league goals, ****ing hell.
