AND, his switch passes and long diagonals to Lookman from RCB were the main source of their attacking threat in the entire game, don't knock the switch balls and long diagonals
Yesterday's non penalty pissed me off, I've always moaned about officiating, but all those years it was odd decisions in odd games that were blatantly wrong, this season it's most in most of our games, to understand it properly you have to watch quite a number of other games in their entirety, when you do that the difference is hugely evident
Take two almost identical situations
Against Leicester, Barnes is trying to make headway down our right, Kabak doesn't get squared up, closes him down so he's got himself in a great position of the half turn, when Barnes knocks it where he forced him to go, he turns quickly before before Barnes, gets across and in front of him with no foul of contact from any part of his body, Barnes runas into the back of him and throws himself to ground - Freekick and a yellow card for Kabak
In yesterday's game, almost identical situation, Mo knocks the ball past their lad, his positioning isn't as good, he turns but doesn't get in front of Mo who still looks like getting past him, in turning he throws his right arm back away from his body and smashes Mo straight across the throat, which is what stops Mo getting past him, no penalty, no foul, no card
