OTF

Of course he could have stayed on his feet, the only tackles where you can't are brutal and almost never occur in the box. You have to go down in a scenerio like that to rightfully get the penalty. Usually anyway. He was right to go down but he has to be the least convincing player when going down under contact and it's reflected in how rarely he wins free kicks. I believe it's because he's fundamentally slow, so falling over always seems delayed. We need to get Jonas in to teach him, he was the best I've seen at Newcastle at winning free-kicks.

On the replay it also looked like VAR would overturn it.

Palace were very good.

A few weeks ago you'd have put your house on Liverpool beating Everton.

He has looked decent amonst our shower of shite.

We really need to "protect him" by wrapping him in cotton wool and keeping him safe on the bench.

What a shocking pass that was Longstaff. We've been absolutely shite here.

To create controversy seemingly.

Yep, that level of contact is fine if both players are going for the ball or if there was already contact. That has to have been such a simple decision as the palace player has reached across the body of Longstaff for no reason other than to slow his run. Diabolical. Let's get Nottingham Forest's social media on the case.

That's surely not going to be given by VAR, it's like they've been asked to make the wrong decision of late.

Has to be a pen that. If it's anyone else it's given on the spot. That's ridiculous honestly.

We subbed off our fairweather fans.

They're definitely getting the rub of the green, but can't say they don't deserve their lead.

Great movement and passing and then a shit pass Longstaff.

We've got no answer to skilled pacy attacking players, particularly through the middle. Burn and Schär would have to be amongst the slowest defensive pairings in the league and we've not got a shielding midfielder to help them.
