Why cant they just tell him over his earpiece stop the game you have missed a penalty. They then take the onus away from the ref and the pressure that he will get.

I didnt see the refs actions but if so it was just another reason to give a penalty as the grab definitely happened. Perhaps it was 2 reasons to give a penalty.

Sterling has played well Tarkowski has done Ok but he is no Maguire. and we have missed Henderson. I dont think that anybody coming in tonight has given any indication of being better than the player who they have replaced.
