got lucky with the bounce as well.

you need to not give tielemans time

 

[dachshund]

Literally stood directly in front of him, and jumps in front of him. It’s blocking his view and space. Its impeding his view of it

It's also impeding JOB's view.

 

[Bluerover]

The better team here so far.

Beat me to it. I was prepared for the worst but the performance has been surprisingly better than I had feared.

Attwell with a silent 'TW'

Always 20 touches … Thats why he doesnt play for man city anymore

Did the same vs Brentford. When he played balls early, we scored 2

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Garner with a Hollywood pass.

What beautiful that

 

[Rita_Poon]

us first contact again, worked clear. they're in possession.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Concentrate.. see it to HT

 

[NathDogg]

People saying it’s offside blah blah blah - the spurs goal against us that was given, very similar, there is no consistency or reliability in the calls from it.

Sorry, you just can’t be excusing the officials and var, it’s bent.

 

[BluePeadar]

Ya just know they are gonna fluke one in before H/T it’s nailed on

 

[ste d' indica]

Good to see Rohl having an influence, him staying fit will be a big boost for the rest of the season, he has quality.

Like a new signing.

 

[pfim]

No, the question is does Armstrong interfere with play?

Armstrong jumps with an entirely different player and has no impact on the player challenging with Jake for the ball. Given the ball goes past Armstrong and his man without any touch, he is literally not “interfering with play”.

If you challenge for the ball, it’s offside. It’s the rule

 

[RomanReigns]

Some good moments from rohl

pickford punches out, another corner villa.
