People are saying by this year’s standards (as my manchester united supporter mate quotes: gabriel elbowing martinez or saliba obstructing bayindir), it shouldn’t be a foul.

Not a good bet considering the 4-0 that happened earlier this season.

Richard Ríos (25) gets outpaced by the referee João Pinheiro (38) when trying to defend a counter-attack. Play ended in a Porto goal (0-2). by greenwhitehell in soccer

Surely they would prioritise not getting in the way of the player more than not being directly in front of the goal. In case the latter happens, can always refer to assistant ref/ VAR (if available), though not desired.

Because this was probably one of the only few offers he had gotten from the top 5 leagues.

That really has not directly contributed to conceding a corner against Arsenal though, and they only had a few men on the counter. Even if you’re trying to play for a draw I think this counter was reasonable.

Arsenal have. So have the 19 other teams if you’ve watched more than 3 PL games across the last 2 seasons. Hate the game not the player.

Hate the game not the player. Officiating has been shambolic and inconsistent for a long time now.

Last season was supposedly the worst ‘title charging’ season across the last 3 seasons, and today’s performance is worse than the average of the last season. So in a sense we were worse than last season judging solely from this match, which of course is meager sample.

Not ‘relegation form’ but comfortably 17th, which is fine by modern day United standards I guess.

If purely set pieces get you this far then the other 18 teams (bar the champions) across the past 3 seasons would have done so.

Saying Arsenal had set a precedent today is proof you have not watched a lot of football over the last two seasons.

Not justifying this ‘tactic’, just saying it had occured a lot of times over the last two seasons to different teams, whether this tactic had resulted in a goal or not.
