In the highlights he seems to tell McGinn he saw the push, then states no. So if he told VAR the same thing I can see why they couldn't find anything to over rule him. It would just be nice to know why he thinks a two handed push in the back is not a foul.

I noticed the goal we scored, and the the one that was disallowed were similar balls into the box that allowed Chelsea to score their two against them. Crosses in low and hard to the penalty spot (Although the Dougie one was higher).  I don't know if we tried that in the match and just couldn't get the ball in but surely Emery noticed that it was the play needed.

Ok, who changed their routine?

I was out for drinks and missed the first 30 minutes. I do feel guilty

We struggle against bus-parking teams, and do better against more expansive ones.

If we dip into the market in January, I hope it is for someone who gives us something else in unlocking teams.

Was there any point Anthony Taylor being on the pitch seeing as he relied on VAR to make every decision?

He's got history with us. He's a shocking referee.

Same here, as Diaby certainly isn’t doing it nearly enough. To get taken off when he did is very telling.

It's clearly Risso's fault for staying in Brum rather than driving home.

Seen the Duran incident a few times now, I think it was a red.

Disappointing evening. The referee is a crook.
You do contradict yourself.

We just didn't play well enough tonight.

Hugely disappointing not to win and go top but at the same time not a bad reality check as we still remain unbeaten at home.

2023 has simply been a fantastic year and even better will come in 2024 if we understand they'll be a few more results like this before the season is out.

Hopefully we won't get another game where we get so many VAR travesties as tonight but then I see who we have next....

Glad we got a point because they most definitely didn't deserve to win. We're going to get games like that unfortunately, it's just that the way it is. Had that been against a Newcastle or a Brighton, we'd have won that. Shame Sir Cam scored but he was always going to wasnt he?
