Only need a point today for automatic qualification, yet I am feeling sick with nerves five hours before kick-off…

Come on Ipswich Town!

Luton have run out of steam at just the wrong time. Also the main reason they've kept pace is the points deduction.
I said since the beginning of the season that it would be an upset if the three promoted teams didn't go straight back down and that match exemplified why. Luton and the others just haven't adopted the PL mindset at all. Ball into the box and prayer won't get you very far

Playing out from the back against Man City with players that are Championship quality won't get you far either though. It's not about doing what everyone else does, it's about playing to your strengths, it's just that those three teams were in no way strong enough at anything really.

Never would have suggested they play out from the back. I'm actually saying they aren't playing to their relative strengths. They have decent aerial ability but their actual set piece play is gash; you can't just aimlessly put a ball into the box and hope for the best anymore.

They didn't get the red card, so I'll take the soft pen

Edit: Ødegaard filth that pass to Havertz

Absolutely a pen. Kai has every right to do that. He doesn't have to jump out of the way if the defense takes a massive swing at his legs.

If thats Harry Kane it's considered clever and experienced

Officials got both big decisions wrong, but at least it's one for each team, which is about as much as you can hope for with the current implementation and people using VAR.

How does Vicario getting pushed during corners attract no foul, yet that goal gets ruled out?

(I might be biased)

Yeah, that was a super harsh decision in my opinion, but I think it went this way because of the on field decision in the first place. I do miss the efficiency of the european refereeing and VAR

Feels like the right decision for me. It's not much of a touch on Raya, but without that touch then he catches the ball pretty casually. It was more than enough to unbalance him and ya can't do that to a goalkeeper. There's an argument that there could have been a penalty but it definitely wasn't a goal.

What a fucking shot from Gabriel

Oh come on, goalkeepers are overly protected enough..
