How did you feel about the quick restart by Southampton against Arsenal? Player still down, ball moved away from defender, but not to spot of foul..and still rolling?
Match Thread 11/30-1/2 - Newcastle same as the Old Castle?
- Thread starter 67YAZ
- Start date
It's unusual for no-one to be within 10 yards more so than for the ref to blow the whistle when players are not set, but outside 10 yards.
A great example of a similar restart can be seen in another Liverpool match.... the much lauded quick corner against Barca.
You are comparing a corner kick to a restart after a red card. The two are completely different.
On the corner, I highly doubt there was a whistle when the ball crossed the end line never mind to restart. There's hardly ever is a whistle in either of those situations.

What the hell was that Norwich player doing with his hand up there? What an idiot.
Krul saves the penalty from Aubameyang, but they've VAR'd it and it's a retake for encroachment. Bloody hell.
He scores the retake, but full marks to Krul for his gamesmanship, took a yellow but I like his style.

A good finish by Aubameyang to even it up. I think there's more goals in this match. Arsenal with around 2/3 of the possession but Norwich are dangerous on the break.
Freddie has to sub Chambers. He's just got a yellow, he's having a mare of a game, and he's one semi bad foul from a red.
What's with both of Arsenal's subs walking off slowly in a 2-2 game against a relegation candidate?
Arsenal FC trying to batten down the hatches to preserve a draw against Norwich fucking City.
The state of this club.

Really good game there (for the neutral). You can see that Arsenal have much more quality, but Norwich were well organised and everyone knows their job and they give everything. A bit more quality and Norwich could have nicked it.
Fun game to watch (as a neutral) .. still .. from the Arsenal point of view, the first game with a new manager, at home, against a relegation threatened team and the best you can do is a draw with your keeper as MoTM .. can they buy a new back four and half a midfield in January?
They have the midfield they need in-house IMO - for whatever reason, Ljungberg didn't play Torreira at his ideal CDM role today, opting to go with Xhaka. Lack of shield there exposed the back 4 as usual, with Mustafi giving even more room to attackers than normal.
If they go 4-2-3-1 with Torreira / Guendouzi as the CDMs (Guendouzi in a more b2b role), Aubameyang / Ceballos / Ozil as the advanced midfielders, and Lacazette at striker I think they'd be fine. Still requiring a CB upgrade but at least winning these types of matches

Everton may be bad, but their fans are having fun

What a lovely curling goal by Grealish from wide. He made that look so easy, but it was an incredible finish. Score worldy at Old Trafford - Achievement unlocked - add 2 Million to transfer value.
Everton at 22', Richarlison header off a nice cross by Sidibe.
Toffees in 3-4-3 that plays more like 5-2-3, causing some trouble for the Foxes.
Leicester penalty waved off by VAR, correct call and first good VAR for Everton on the season.

Utd finally get in front and then they concede two minutes later. No easy games if you're Utd these days.
Gut punch game for Everton. Played well and frustrated Leicester until Inheacho came on and gave Vardy someone to play off of. Goat is Davies who has been very good over the last month but gave up possession for both goals, the second really inexcusable. Silva has the team playing hard and set up well, but his sub off of Iwobi instead of Davies late has the fans livid.
it might be harsh if this is the result that dooms Silva, given the quality of the opposition, the fight and good play of the Toffees, and the thinness of the bench with so many out. But there may not be a choice.

Ideal weekend for West Ham, 3 points at Chelsea, and decent chance Houghton and Moyes have new jobs, making Pellegrini either the manager the rest of the way, or forcing better options to replace him (Benitez, Marcelino, etc.)
Nice attempt to be cute, but there’s no whistled restart for a corner, just like there’s no whistled restart for a goal kick or throw-in.
I didn’t see it, so I don’t feel qualified to comment.
Former PGMOL head Keith Hackett points out yet another error by Martin Atkinson: Brighton was interfering with the wall.
