       I only watched the 2nd half and thought he looked decent, both
       penalties clear fouls and correctly given

       Of all the phrases to have described his performance, ‘truly
       awful’ is a bit harsh. I don’t see where all the critics have
       come from. I thought foul detection was consistent, dealt with
       dissent efficiently and got the pen incidents correct (despite
       my previous opinion of the Madrid penalty). Ok, maybe he could
       have booked Modric for that late challenge but he was far from
       ‘losing control’

       Watching on television doesn't give a true feeling for the game.
       It was clear that Liverpool players were getting frustrated with
       his inconsistent foul detection and when he had the ideal
       opportunity to issue an obvious yellow card to bring the game
       totally under control he didn't. That caused more frustration
       and he compounded that by failing to give a fairly routine free
       kick to Liverpool just after that. The Liverpool players didn't
       over react but it was obvious in the ground that they weren't
       happy with what he was doing.
