We've tweaked the captaincy order, haven't we?

Previously, if Collins was out but Jensen and Janelt were both playing, Matti was captain.
Returning from injury, I assumed Jensen was not scheduled to last the full game.

Not sure I would describe him as not being "at it". I thought he battled himself to a standstill today, effectively broke up a lot of Liverpools midfield play and kept Macallister & Wirtz pretty quiet. His use of the ball was generally quite precise, especially since we were a man down for half the bloody game.

Haven't a clue what earned him a first caution in Brooks estimation but Liverpool players like Alisson & Van Dijk were gobbing off at the ref all game. The second bookable offence probably was but he had just run 45 yards and was so desperate not give the scousers a clear run on goal he made a rash decision.

He'll be a big miss in the Hull game for sure.
Gary O'Neill was spot on about there being a sub concious & I suspect with some refs a concious big team bias.IMO referreing standards have got worse not better under Webb.
Last week Mcginn,this week Van Dijk.Did someone not tell Brooks Vita was our captain & hence allowed to talk to him?

Bruno Fernandes spent most of his game this afternoon waving his harms aggressively at the ref. Vitaly must be using really bad language to warrant these yellows.

He's allowed to talk to the ref. He's not exempt from the laws when it comes to dissent. I'm not sure he's quite got to grips with the distinction yet.

He’ll have a few days to think about it now. These days, teams are loaded with international players so it leaves me guessing how the half time team talk goes.

With some of the arm waving histrionics we see from oppo players it really makes you wonder how Vitaly managed to pick up a first yellow for dissent. They likes of VVD, Macallister, Allison etc appeared to be questioning every single decision and on occasion demanding sanction against our players with impunity. McGinn might as well have reffed the game at Villa Park last week.
The biggest problem with PL refs is a stunning lack of consistency with their decision making.

He played really well. We were against Liverpool with 10 men and he was one of only two in midfield for more than half the game. He got his second yellow only after chasing a lost cause and trying to keep us in the game in the dying seconds. You want players like that.

As for the first yellow. I think harsh. McGinn got away with 90 mins of that the other week. Reading between the lines of KA post match he probably feels the same.

He was suspended for Hull anyway. A break probably does him good.

Cole Palmer booted the ball up in the air in disgust at Everton. He didnt get booked......

Not sure hes the right pick for Captain.

Needs to cut out the dissent.

Still class though.
Maybe KA thought it would help with cutting out the yellow cards for dissent, with the captain allowed to talk to the ref.
Well that didn't work.
