Serious question, does it even matter if he touches the ball when he clearly takes out the player and gains advantage out from it. I assumed the ref thought Højbjerg was diving and should have given the freekick with those pictures.
Not according to the rules. Touching the ball is a handy heuristic for fans and pundits, and has crept into the decisions of incompetent refs

The ref there was embarrassed that he didn’t give the foul in the first place, I think he didn’t want to admit he was wrong. He was looking to prove himself right.

Well he gave Reg a yellow for that same reason, got the ball first and then the man but it's a foul for them.

All all the Fault of Dele. Oh wait he’s not playing so can’t take him off. Anyway it’s his fault.
Not watching the game but seems like our normal level of play hoping for Kane or Son to pull a rabbit out of the hat at the end

I don't really care anymore the amount of awful decisions feels normal now.

Stop complaining about the refs and the decision ffs. We got a cheap penalty and they could’ve have a penalty

Blame Jose shit useless tactics

Blame it on the lack of a DM. A DM is crucial to a side that wants to be balanced, solid and to allow more creative players to do their things. What we have are two industrious midfielders that between them do the job of one decent DM. The same thing went wrong under Poch.
