Just seen the 2nd yellow. Wow. Very very soft. If that’s a yellow, then every single foul is a yellow. Barely even touches the Bournemouth player.
 










I disagree with you. 'Harsh yellow' makes it sound like it was a foul by Baleba, but the yellow was questionable, but in my opinion it wasn't a foul by Baleba. He didn't go in for a tackle from a distance, he stayed on his feet and ran across while his opponent went to ground.



Delighted we won, but I feel we're getting too many bad decisions, and Baleba missing against Southampton could cost us more points.

Does it natter though when we win? Couldn’t give a f*** about the ref.

It was a poor decision as was the Brentford sending off. Leicester should have had a couple of players sent off with reckless tackles flying around.

Wasn’t at the game but curious how Evan contributed after coming off the bench. Would bringing on McConville for Welbeck notwithstanding his inexperience and switching to a back five as we did at SJP have helped avoid conceding the consolation goal?

It was great to see McConville on the bench!
It's getting harder and harder for the youth to get called up at the moment as we have an abundance of quality players.
Tho I think Evan was the right choice. We already parked the bus and needed fresh legs in that slot (Evan can play midfield)

Did what was expected of him - held the ball up well, harried in midfield. To the blokes stood near me slagging him off for not pressing their keeper, we were down to 10 so isolating himself with a pointless lone press would have left a gap in the middle 🙄

Agree to disagree then. Sorry it was a foul but not a booking. Look at it another way, he was always going to rack up 5 booking at some point. Southampton H not the worst game to miss!
Having watched it on MOTD I really can’t see the foul. He doesn’t make a tackle, he’s just running.

Brilliant result. It wasn't an excellent performance, but collecting another three points shows the amazing fighting spirit of this team. Our defending was great, Pedro and Mitoma were clinical and we also had a little bit of luck! Disappointing with Baleba, but I'm sure this team will achieve something special this season. UTA!
This is something I like about us this season. It feels like there have been a few games where we haven’t been the better team but we have been the more clinical team.

How can it be an honest decision to book someone for a foul he has not seen?
Quite easily, from the angle he was at, it looked like a foul and a second yellow. As I've already said twice, he called what he saw (and having seen replays, Baleba did actually catch the player)
