Sheaf Saint Posted 2 February, 2019 Share Posted 2 February, 2019 Looked like it could/should have been a penalty in real time, but in the slo-mo replay you can see Barnes is already going over before there is any contact. Poor from Alex though. Got his positioning all wrong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 2 February, 2019 Share Posted 2 February, 2019 The only reason I can think that the ref didn't give it is that Barnes pokes the ball right and then moves left to ensure he makes contact with the goalkeeper. I still think it's a penalty but maybe if Barnes had moved in the same direction as the ball the outcome would have been different.

Agreed. he was not in control of the ball, hit the ground badly with trailing foot and stumbled into Alex. who was in the wrong place. not a penalty. not a dive either.

McCarthy is entitled to dive for the ball.Having initially thought it was a stonewall pen, I'm now thinking that Barnes engineered it rather than it being a simple case of McCarthy bringing him down.

Bad Wolf Posted 2 February, 2019 Share Posted 2 February, 2019 we haven't looked good at all the last couple of games Probably because we have a squad of players who aren't very good.

10i Posted 2 February, 2019 Share Posted 2 February, 2019 JWP at rwb seems to be an okay spot if you really want him involved, but without Hojbjerg and Lemina Slatteryis the best option who tries to avoid being any part of the game. Better not get the ball and better not get involved in any duels. Romeu havin to run the dem-show on his own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlaine1979 Posted 2 February, 2019 Share Posted 2 February, 2019 On the basis of 90 minutes against Palace and 45 against Burnley, the belief that we're already too good to go down under RH looks misguided. We already looked toothless with Ings on the pitch, and appear to have no idea how to create openings without the assistance of an opposition mistake.

Baird of the land Posted 2 February, 2019 Share Posted 2 February, 2019 Played very well for first 20 and ings should have scored when put straight through. Got lucky on penalty. Barnes is theatrical but McCarthy doesn’t get ball and his leg would have tripped Barnes. Ings injury may be more than a knock, he was ignoring the clapping during his lap of the touch line which maybe suggests deflation/worry on his part. Still think we’ve got other options in that position if need be. Jwp has done fine at wingback. Slatery has looked bright apart from his early (was it a slip) or a foul on their defender.
