       I thought he was absolute terrible. No control whatsoever.
       Struggled to keep up in the second half as well. Gave 3 soft
       fouls in the first half then the similar incident on holjund in
       front of the linesman no foul given, which was more blatant than
       the ones he’d given. Not sure how Chelsea only ended up with 2
       yellows with both CB lucky to avoid cautions for fouls on
       holjund. Second half was a complete lottery on what was a foul
       and what wasn’t, although Correct with penalty. And he did
       nothing to stop Chelsea time wasting for the first minute and
       then added only 4 minutes on.
       Handbags at the end caused by him not taking control of the
       situation. Martinez tackle for me is a clear red card.

       this is exactly what I was thinking but thought I was losing it
       reading all the other posters.he was inconsistent in foul
       detection and a few more Chelsea players should have been
       booked.he will be thanking Sanchez for that save aswell cause if
       that went in there’d have been trouble

       Obviously all opinions but I wouldn’t have said he was terrible.
       Not saying he was good by any means just plainly average.
       I’d agree on saying Martinez should have seen red. The fact he
       went in studs showing with initial contact on the knee before
       kind of scraping down onto the top of Palmer’s foot should be
       enough for that VAR threshold for me. There just remains to be
       so many inconsistencies of when VAR intervene. I was quite happy
       when ‘referees call’ was introduced but I’m now not so sure as
       there seems to have been a lot of controversy recently with VAR
       interventions but that’s only to me

       If the Martinez incident isn't enough for var to get involved in
       then there's no real reason to have it at all, studs first
       contact above the knee

       The Martinez tackle was a clear error and should have been red
       cos Keith Hackett says so. End of.

       If Hackett said it was red it definitely should have been
       yellow.

       Why did the AR flag Garnacho offside twice on very close
       decisions where he was running towards goal? The first one
       looked onside from the still on the replay and the AR didn't
       appear to be level with play to be able to make an offside call.
       What happened to seeing how the attacks developed as they both
       weren't definite offsides?

       Hackett wouldn’t have seen that tackle in real time… he’d still
       be in the centre circle! 😛

       Given the relative lack of force I think reckless rather than
       excessive force/endangering safety is a reasonable conclusion,
       and certainly not a "clear and obvious error" for VAR to
       recommend a review. The point of contact alone does not
       automatically make it a sending off.

       @ajb95 + @pm2
       I agree gents, I got absolutely layed into on here for my
       opinion… it’s because people on this site very protective of
       distinctively average referees who they have a huge fan club
       for. Also I get toldthat I fail to understand the players feel
       for the game, and player management … (boring) how about
       referees enforce the laws of the game so the PL product which is
       viewed by kids all over the world showcases “the image of the
       game” years ago referees were told to think of the image of the
       game which was to protect the business model as football is not
       a game it’s just some entertainment with a huge business behind
       it…. So how about we think about protecting the image of the
       game ! And actually referee with personality.
       I also got told I never praise I have said Gillett has been
       exceptional this season !! Best referee by a country mile, Kav
       has done good, Taylor and Oliver their usual consistent self …
       The two smiths done well but haven’t been given much game time.
