OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

Has Haaland touched the ball other than the one shot this whole half?

It's going both ways, Akanji got a soft *** yellow but one team really just wailing on the ground.

the ref set the tone early handing out that yellow
yet when bellingham gets tackled dirtiliy no card

Nah, only Foden and KDB ever pass to Haaland

he doesn't play on the ball much, does some hold up play if man city have alot of posession

 

[jape]

ref doesn’t need to explain himself every play it’s nasty stuff

I get he’s not a build up player, but he was completely invisible.

 

[Bosa]

Ref is trash

His movement around the box was good imo, he’s just not getting the ball.

I really try to avoid talking about refs in sports these days unless it’s an egregious call cause it bores the **** outta me but this ref gonna have a tough time not cracking under the atmosphere and intensity of this match rn

One reason I would prefer we have a squad with overlapping fullbacks who can cross and actual wingers that don't cut in with the ball everytime. We need more wide threats to create spaces for him. He's basically double marked by the CBs every game. If he's really not getting service, he's ghosting for looooong periods because our style of play.

Considering he blew the whistle before 3 min were up while Rudiger was running into the wing and we had a few players ready to attack, I don’t think he gives af

Tbh lol I do think rn he’s doing a decent enough job not cracking despite these players getting in his *** every chance but we will see if that continues.
