Spot on.
I don’t want that given as a pen in footy personally, but in current rules it’s irrefutably a pen.

Yeah but they time waste at the beginning of the season
They’d be playing like this if they were safe in 12th mate
It’s just what they do
A crappy give away but I wouldn't say soft. His arm is high, he can see it, it changes the directory of the ball, and it clearly hits his arm. I'd be gutted if it was given against us mainly because its just so unlucky. The more you see it from the side the more it looks like he intentionally leaves his arm out, he had time to start and get it down. I thought we actually looked pretty good so far all things considered. This is not Brighton and Brentford. Or even the first game against Burnley. We've dominated the ball and had quite a few chances just haven't taken them quite well enough. Burnley is a good defensive team fighting for their life.
Yep. By current rules it’s a 100% pen and I love it.
Poor Burnley. Now they have to earn their premium status by actually playing football.
Anyone who says that is delusional. He had a couple of competent defensive performances. He is still extremely limited and needs to be got rid of at the first opportunity. This club needs to have higher standards, the odd decent game isn't enough for someone to be in our starting eleven.
Get one quickly after ht and coast
I actually thought he had missed for a second.
Brilliant, brilliant unstoppable pen. The GK did not even move.
Ah come on. Side angle shows it clearly hits his arm
I can see why Barnes was fuming, but by the rules this is a penalty, 100%. Also fuck Burnley!
Our wing backs are the biggest issue, if teams sit deep then we need the wing backs to properly provide width, beat their man and get crosses in. Neither Emerson or Sessegnon have caused any trouble for Burnley's wing backs at all.
And even if we weren't in a Conte setup this would be true. We played a 4 under Poch and had Walker/Rose offering that width.
Regarding the tunnel bust up, all you do is walk away and say " I'm not the ref"
Like Conte likely would in a similar position against a far far superior side.Yeah but they time waste at the beginning of the season
