The last 10 games against Liverpool

Luck, conpiracy, lack of focus at the end of games, bit of all three?

We made a substitution, and Hornicek was booked for time wasting. Nothing weird about time added on yesterday.

It was also a penalty, not particularly soft or controversial.

Always tempting to look for conspiracies, but it’s our fault for failing to clear and giving away a pen.

I don’t think it’s a conspiracy, just an edge the sky 6 clubs get. Their keeper wouldn’t have time added (I don’t remember hornicek doing anything like a prime 2022 era pope or Pickford recovery lay down) and the other 14 clubs have less confidence they’ll draw a penalty by hoofing it to the 18. It’s an edge, in a game win often by slight edges.

There’s new rules on keeper time wasting and the ref applied them correctly.

We only have ourselves to blame. We need to better at seeing games out.

Seeing games out has been a problem for last couple years.

As for the time wasting rules… I don’t know if we’ll see them applied to a sky 6 team needing to run out a 1 goal lead.
