That contact is minimal to say the least.

The narrative is already building around Palmer post match. I don't see him moving the needle over Saka from the start. Mainoo now must start, and one of Foden/Bellingham should really make way for Gordon. Can't see the latter happening though.

That passage of play was league 2 stuff

Abysmal from Van Dijk

Great play by Sallai, that wasn't an easy cut back

Medical staff seemed awfully slow to respond

There are enough issues with, and hyperbole around VAR and refereeing that we don't need to be finding controversy where there is none. Correct decision especially given that the on field call was offside, length of time spent to confirm it was too long.

BBC missing the fact the goal was called offside on the pitch. It wasn't overturned

Not sure why Mainoo and Wharton are there then if "we don't have a natural replacement for Kalvin Phillips" as Gareth has just claimed.

It just looks like such a poorly coached side. No patterns of play, easy to play through, half hearted press, no support for players in possession to play through the press.

Positioning off the ball isn't great. Looks far too easy to get at our back 4 with 2 or 3 simple passes. Hopefully the TAA midfield experiment ends soon, he's just not a natural at key facets of the game you need in that position

Sane has been poor since coming on.

Penalty and a red here

Excellent by the ref to spot that dive

Incredible play by Amrabat there
