That's the right decision, Akanji clearly impeded Allison

[Dunning1874]

That is never a foul in a million years.

If a centre back jumps like that with a centre forward, does anyone think it's a penalty? No.

It's just terrible goalkeeping, he isn't impeded at all.

You do need to consider challenges between two outfielders and an outfielder/goalie differently as keepers aren't trying to play the ball in the same way

Peter Drury has become insufferable since being promoted to Sky's lead commentator. Nearly every word sounds like it's read from a script and he seems to think his job is to create some sort of poetry to accompany a game. Awful.

I honestly can't listen to him. It's like he's trying to make every sentence a soundbite. 

[Comrie]

Keepers are so heavily protected it's unreal. Most of these are 14 stone 6'4 lumps and the tiniest touch and they fall to the floor.

Shook off that injury I see.

 

I didn't think anyone actually expected Haaland and Ederson to miss the game after their "injuries" on international duty so I was surprised when the guys on the usually knowledgeable Totally Football Show were talking about it being a good time to play City with those two being out. I suppose it's a sign of the respect Pep has for Liverpool that he managed to make sure two key players picked up "injuries" before a game against them. Probably wouldn't have made sure they were "injured" if they were playing mid table dross like Brentford or Manchester United.

[Mark Connolly]

At what point does Allisson get investigated for match fixing?

[Crawford Bridge]

The state of Daniel Sturridge. 

[senorsoupe]

Newcastle having four senior goalies in their matchday squad today is quite amusing to me

[velo army]

Andy Walker being asked to give his opinion on English Premier League football is wild. Played for Celtic in the mid 90'swhen they were pish and never even had an international career. Doesn't even deserve to be in the company of utter jobbers like Robbie Savage.

4-1 Newcastle. Chelsea really are pish, aren’t they?

[senorsoupe]

Newcastle's "Staggering injury crisis" is not nearly as much of a crisis as Chelsea's staggering Chelsea crisis

Incredible that a team could spend infinity billion pounds on players to achieve this level of shitness

[Iminavest]

The english meida wanking themselves into a frenzy over ramsdale, who's mid table standard at best, is rather amusing. 

[Ron Aldo]

Arsenal nearly making a c**t of it there. 

Ramsdale will get the blame but what's the point in an outfield player taking a goal kick then playing it back to the keeper inside the 6 yard box? 

[DrewDon]

Aaron Ramsdale's dad going on an Arsenal podcast to criticise Arteta for dropping his adult son might be one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. 

[The Golden God]

How is the one on Alison a foul but the Newcastle guy jumping on the Arsenal defenders back the other week not?

[Zetterlund]

That offside goal was a strange one. From the first replay angle it looked a foot onside, but the next angle with the lines drawn showed it a foot offside. Not sure if they both used the exact same freeze point.
