I can't see it being so bad again next week. My mate text me who was watching it on the box , and mentioned the Olympiacos kit clashing with ours. Didn't see it myself , might be clutching at straws , but would explain McGinn passing directly to their players 5 or 6 times last night ! I just think we played poor , they made their own luck. Feel a little more positive today than leaving the ground last night. A massive task , but not unacheivable.We were at the game ... my dad commented about the kits looking very similar too.

Leon’s goal was chalked off for Lenglet pulling their player’s shirt. When it’s so blatant it’s always going to get ruled out.
Time to get those prayer mats out.

When it’s so blatant it’s always going to get ruled out.It is a weird one being as the players whose shirt was being tugged fell forward and away from Lenglet. It was an on-field call wasn't it? I don't think VAR would have over-ruled it if the goal was given.

That was as blatant as it gets. They disallow our goal for a slight tug on a shirt and they fail to give that pen. Is it anti PL bias or is it just plain old incompetence? I saw it as exactly the same as the Saka one against Bayern. Checking the run slightly to make sure that contact happens.Thought the same watching the replay. Not as blatant as the Saka one but Bailey made sure he got the contact all the same. What was his goal disallowed for?The most unnatural thing about it from either player was the way the defender clipped the ball and then lifted his heel much higher than normal between Baileys legs before stepping quite wide as jis foot came down to give Bailey nowhere to go. Whether Bailey was trying to go down or not I don't think he actually had much choice. It was a clear foul and absolutely intentional from the defender because he knew Bailey was getting a shot off otherwise.

I personally dont thinkwe will get any decisions in aaay leg so we just need to score the goals and outplay them so the ref factor isnt a option.But i must say the referring performance last night was abysmal. Seriously awful

Seriously awfulApparently it's the same ref over there. We're going to have to batter them if that's true because we won't be getting any favours.
