Is there no VAR in EL? Serious q I expected a replay/check#Fouled.
Nope, not in the ELIs there no VAR in EL? Serious q I expected a replay/check
You certainly are.
Terrible mistake but I’m not sure his team mates did enough to help him there. Where was the fullback to pass to for example?
Ben honestly didn’t play too badly today except for that mistake. We were so static in that first half, there was no outlet from the back.
Nailed it.His teammates didn't do him any favors but Ben should never be playing the ball like that when under pressure. Either hoof it up the field or back to Lloris. He does not have the skill set, even against Antwerp to hold on to the ball like that. Sure we would be bitching about him backpassing or wasting the ball but that is much better than bitching because he gave up a goal.
The players put him in a bad spot but they didn't make him hold on to the ball, that was his poor choice.
He clearly wasn't at trouble when he received the ball I think, but he hold onto the ball waiting for a pass with Reguilon and Lo Celso pressed in front of him. No one showed, he turned to pass to Lloris, at this time Mbokani knew that was the only way to go and easily got the ball. He was at faul of course, but you can't allow that situation to happen given he was almos in the middle of the pitch. Should have been at leas on midfielder do cover him and get the pass, that was Dele or Winks, and the other defender should be also in a better position.Nailed it.
Maybe, as some suggested that,
A) He was played into trouble (I don't think that for a second)
B) His team mates didn't help him out (Possibe)
C) He was fouled (I'm not sure if he was or not)
D) That Dav should have done better (I think he should of)
But at the end of the day he shouldn't have been in a position where the forward could even try to get the ball off him.
Your right in saying that no one showed but he was facing the play, he should have known where his team mates were. he could also see Mbokani closing him down. So what to do in that situation, the choices were;He clearly wasn't at trouble when he received the ball I think, but he hold onto the ball waiting for a pass with Reguilon and Lo Celso pressed in front of him. No one showed, he turned to pass to Lloris, at this time Mbokani knew that was the only way to go and easily got the ball.

You wanna bin posters for not rating the clogger Davies who cost us the game again?#Fouled.
