Also point out that edersons foot is there BEFORE odegaards. Odegaard steps on ederson, if it is a foul it should be given to city.
And the #clowntakes continue.

Why is it every man and his dog can see it as a penalty, especially when the other one was given, but you can't?

Oh, it's because some Liverpool supporters have claimed it's not right that this wasn't a penalty and the other one was.

Every man and his dog = Arsenal supporters and Liverpool supporters who want city to drop points

Every Man U friend I've spoken to has said the same as me about the penalty. Neutrals.

You're literary the first person I've come across that feels that both decisions were correct.

So, yes. Clowntake without a doubt and obvious attempt at trolling from you

Shame as it's good to see you back on here but imagine you're just here to stir shit up?

It reminds me when we had a similar thing in the NRL. Each week the video refs would screw up a call, it would be all over the media, everyone would be watching closely and criticising every slight fuck up, the refs would get nervous and make more fuck ups.
Makes sense. Must be a heap of pressure on refs now but I think the issue is that they're in no way held accountable for their actions?

If they at least had to explain some of their decisions I'd be ok with it. Refs make mistakes but VAR missing all of these things?

Something has to change as VAR should be helping with the nerves surely? Not making it worse

The penalty decision I thought was correct he did get tugged by the shirt,arsenal had their chance for a second unlucky arsenal they should be proud they mixed it with the big boys and had it not been for the red card then more than likely they could have won Gabriel had nine to blame but himself for that red grubby tactics got him the yellow when he was scruffing the penalty spot,felt arsenal but unlucky but I’m a city boy and we 11 points clear so common citeh !

I feel as though the refs should be checking the monitor for majority of 50/50 decisions instead of having it as it is now with the clear and obvious error

Arsenal have themselves to blame agree. They lost their heads and made some stupid tackles/bookings. Doesn't help that martinelli missed a sitter.

City looked rubbish from start to finish. Maybe a bit of fatigue setting in?

Because Arsenal actually gave it to them. City don't like it when teams come at them. Unfortunately most the league sit back and give City time on the ball and they love that, they're masters at unlocking the defence.

In the NRL they ended up sacking most of the video ref's and brought in new ones. That's when Luke Patten became a video ref.

But they also brought in the bunker so they would have 3 ref's conferring. That didn't help.

The tug was definitely a dive but that doesn't really matter. The fact that he tugged was the reason Arsenal copped it. No tug, no dive, no penalty.

Wow. You have proved that ... United fans are idiots. Who'd have thought?

Humorous thing is that you still don't seem to get the point..

Personally feel it could've gone either way. Seen them not given before.

The point I think most people try and make is that if you're giving that then surely both need to be given penalties?

Actually agree with this and said it previously. At end of the day Arsenal lost their heads but will learn from it. Even tho they got robbed in many aspects they brought it upon themselves with the red and giving away control of the game

100%

These mistakes are easy to make though, but still should have been both or neither.
