Not a red.

We didn't play badly anyway for a change in the first half. The interplay when we get past the halfway line has been quite good.

Controversial but I think he’s got to the right deicision he didn’t mean to make contact with his face hand slides up, it’s a shove not a slap or punch.
It’s a yellow at most.

however the mistake is giving the red, he should have booked him then gone and reviewed it or not reviewed it at all

VAR can't give a yellow card. I assume they thought it wasn't enough to give a red but equally he couldn't just get away with it. So by giving a red and telling the ref to go to the monitor, it allowed the ref to review and produce a yellow. It's a shite system but probably the right outcome.
But he should have been booked for the foul

There’s another 1st, Var either say red which ref gives or tell him to go to the screen, instead var says red, twat gives the red then goes to screen, bizarre, twatwell on form though, awful decision process there and chelsea again the beneficiaries at our expense in another new and peculiar way.

Would love to know how that was any different to the son red card at Bournemouth
Will they end up sacking another var ref?

I’d be embarrassed to go down like royal did from such a wet slap ?
Maybe but - hands to the face used to be a bright line that could not be crossed.

Casemiro shove around the neck was less violent and nobody argued that it was not a red - because it was a bright line.

Let's focus on how blunt we have been yet again in the first half. Hope to see a bit more from us in the second against a mid-table team.

Emerson Royal was embarrassing, goes charging in like an idiot and then hits the deck like he's been walloped.

Don't care if it's for my club or not that shit is awful to watch. Common sense wins the day, deserved a smack did Emerson. Keown esque levels of being a wanker.

The absolute state of referees in this league. He was giving a first yellow does he not think the hand in the face is a second yellow?

Gonna need to bring Royal off as he is a red waiting to happen now.

The lack of playmaker has caused us so many issues over the last few seasons. It feels like it’s even further exacerbated by Royal now coming inside as it pushes Kulu out wide. It certainly helps Royal but I feel like it doesn’t help the team as Kulu is our only creative AM.

We would be better off playing Kulu behind Kane and Richarlison as the front three are all living off scraps in the current set up. Alternatively take Kulu off, drop Kane deeper with Richarlison and Son up top.

Initially I thought that. But another angle looked like an attempt at a slap. I suppose it’s not entirely clear. The officials don’t seem to all be in agreement with each other either.
The images they actually showed the ref made it look like a clear red, the other images we were shown shows his hand slip off the shoulder.
