The keeper went down very easily.

I’ve neither time nor nerves for penalties…

them going to the ref like that is a bad look

Hope Howard Webb is watching

Keeper doesn’t even actually react to the foul.

Never a foul

I really can’t believe this.

If foul, it is low bar and very soft. In any case, never clear and obvious !!!

Wrong decision. Obviously the wrong use of VAR

Yeah. On the other hand the fact Anton wasn’t even facing the ball makes it the sort of conscious blocking play I wish they’d do more to clamp down on.

Madness. Are the attacking team meant to part and give a clear path to wherever the keeper wants to go?

“Clear and obvious” ?

If it’s not clear and obvious, the decision should stand irrespective of that.

This is just the very worst use of VAR. Not how it was intended, nor advertised.

What a cross from Wirtz. Havertz bottled that header.

Clear and obvious has a specific meaning within the protocol and it relates to differences with what the ref thinks he saw (i.e. did he see the block)

Havertz, I wish you miss like these attempt at goals while playing for the Arse.

Hopefully not picking up a red 2nd half - going back to ten men…

To be fair he does that as well.
