Correct decision, clear foul by Dunk first otherwise it would’ve been a fair cop.

Poor half for the neutrals. Looking decidedly toothless up front.

Not a classic half of football…

Atmosphere sounds awful, can only hear our lot.
Frustrating game so far, controlling it well enough but it's got counter attack sucker punch written all over it.
Lallana and Größ playing well. So much more confident with Bart between the sticks too.

Wissa had hold of him with 2 hands, dunk tried to throw him off but Wissa held on. Surely the first foul should be given (a bit like when multiple fouls are committed before a player falls inside the box)?
Dumbfounded by the number of people not seeing this, am I hallucinating. There was 3 fouls - first by Wissa, second by Dunk, final one by Wissa. If Dunk started that then I’m the Pope.

Rizla paper between us this season and us pre-Caicedo under Potter. Some intricate play but a desperate lack of urgency and creativity in the final third.
All to play for though.

Dissapointing for us, but good to see the ref had the balls not to change his decision. All too often they get sucked in by VAR.

I've watched that back 5-6 times now at home.

The ref has made a mistake, imo.

There were 3 stages to that foul/incident.

1: Wissa puts arms around Dunk
2: Dunk pushes his shoulders and throws him off
3: Wissa drags Dunk down.

The ref only took into account parts 2 and 3.

Oh well.

that’s twice we’ve had a ref stand by their decision after being asked to check the screen. i watch a lot of football and that’s the second time i’ve seen that this season, obviously

Have to say that wasn’t a pen purely due to the fact Dunk fouled him first - but wtf is the VAR looking at?!

Anyway. Playing very smoothly and beautiful passing but creating nothing clear. The better team and dominating the ball but I predict them to totally change their tactics second half!

Not sure what Wissa was doing to Dunk before the Dunk foul though??
