i mean, you CAN say that michael oliver is "generally good but had a bad game" until you think about it and realise that it's the same michael oliver who gleefully gave gabriel martinelli TWO yellow cards for a single run of play (something i have yet to see be repeated). and then you remember that, last year, the same michael oliver steadfastly refused to give kovacic a second yellow card when he slid in and took out odegaard because he'd just gotten his first yellow a few moments prior and he didn't want to "alter" the game. and then you also happen to remember that it was this same michael oliver who was flown over to the UAE and paid a handsome sum to "referee a league game" DURING AN EPL SEASON. and you end up saying, "hmmmmmmmmm."

Exactly. If he is being paid by the owners of Premier League club to officiate outside of England, then the Prem need to tell him to stay in the country or region to referee. He can't do both.
I’m getting tired of bad refereeing decisions every season costing Man City’s closest rivals games and points that end up losing them the league. Same happened to Liverpool last year and if the points they had lost due to bad refereeing decisions had counted they would have won the Premier League. Remember the Premier League allows Premier League referees and VAR officials during the season to go to the UAE, the country of Man City owners, to get paid lots of money to referee games and go to conferences. Surely this should not be allowed as this is a conflict of interest and effectively open bribery. If Prem refereeing are earning more money doing football gigs in the UAE, surely this creates a bias towards Man City.
Corruption is now called inconsistencies these days. The ref has done it loads of times. Same team who paid this ref 20,000 per game. Same refs who keeps making decisions for Mancity.
He's right about everything EXCEPT that Trossard's foul on Silva deserved a yellow (it wasn't just a regular foul. It was very aggressive by today's acceptable standard -- I see yellows given for much less all the time). But if the second yellow was for kicking the ball away, then that's wrong. Trossard didn't really have time to think about it as the whistle blew almost simultaneously.
The same ref refused to give kovacic a 2nd yellow last year, because, and these are is exact words, “he didn’t want to ruin the game.” The part he left out was “….for man city, my employer”
Michael Oliver has ruined every team for the most outcome on man city last year when Liverpool when on a verge of winning a penalty he didn’t gave it which is going to play huge role on the tittle race absolute disgrace michael Oliver
I don't have a problem with the red. I have a problem with how quick Michael Oliver was go give them. Oliver refereed this same fixture last season when we won 1-0 and he could have sent Kovacic off twice, but he CHOSE not too. City fans said "oh, he's letting the game go on, it would have ruined the game". Now that it happens to Arsenal it's a "definite red" with no room for leniency.
It's such a shame that a game of this magnitude, with that brilliant first half, is spoken through the lens of refereeing and not the game itself. Arteta was spot on, I thought, in his presser, that not a single question was actually tactics-related. And also, big thanks for speaking some sense on the matter, as opposed to the ever PGMOL-glazing Sky
"It's a foul..." Not according to MO's earlier judgement. Haaland pushed Partey in the back with two hands while Partey was trying to head the ball. No foul. That Haaland push showed no intention to contest the ball and used hands in a blatantly illegal way. Once you ignore something like that, players will rightly assume that they have wide latitude to contest headers. MO was making up rules as the game progressed.
Second time the opponent kicks the ball away and didn’t award a yellow card, but when it happens to an Arsenal player, in both cases the referee “has no choice” but to issue a yellow card because he kicked the ball away.
Call FA and independent commission for referring investigation in the premier league.I just hope he didn't get paid by UAE.He shloud be banned from big games.
As a Liverpool fan, I'm happy everything is getting to the open now. Michael Oliver, Simon Hooper and their boss Harold Webb jointly handed over the league to City last season and Oliver has started implementing the plan again this season. This is really embarrassing to say the least
It just seems as if they were looking for every reason to swnd him off. NBC commentary was talking reckless tackle and sky was talking about kicking away the ball. Secondly, dias was actively converging on the end ball to compete for it with martinelli looking to sprint on the left looking for a trossard pass. I genuinely think this was nonsense regardless of whichever team you support. It absolutely ruined the game
City have benefited from Oliver officiating in games in the past, with the defending champions boasting the best win ratio (76.1%) and claiming the most points per game (2.37) from games he has taken charge of. By comparison, Arsenal have a win ratio of 44.2% and average 1.54 points per game.

Maybe u need to watch better. Doku didn't kicked the ball away. The refree instructed the ball to be taken back because arsenal were trying to take the freekick way ahead from the spot. so doku just helped the refree
@@sunepbaMaybe you need to understand the rules better. They are forbidden from touching the ball under any circumstances. What about the time Doku literally picked the ball up and held on to it then? Was that also "helping the ref?!?"
Common sense is missing, credit to the boys for squeaking out a draw. Let us just ignoretge Doku incident. Playing against 13 (Man City, the referee and the Emirati State) is no mean feat.
I casually said yesterday that I suspect the referee will ruin today's game, and viola they didn't disappoint. I am so upset that this gentleman decided he was going to be the game today. Sad !
I say and I quote Jürgen Klopp "Michael Oliver who is supposed to be the best English referee" this was after another bad refereeing game among many of his. The truth is that this guy cannot control a football game which is actually supposed to be his game, 90% of the games he's involved in are controversial.
You say trossard shld blame himself yaa you right bt we are talking ov here is consistency doku did dah same en no card was issued pedro did di Sam no card
@hawk play dirty like throwing the ball at the back of your opponent’s head after you score ? It’s common knowledge different rules apply for the 115ers
People need to go back and watch it again. Trossard was actually passing the ball out to martinelli he didn’t do it in frustration. But the Doku the one was not carded so when people say it’s the letter of the law they’re wrong because we’ve had two situation vs Arsenal where the ref decided not to give a yellow.
A robbery. As a Liverpool supporter I couldn’t care which team wins as they’re both tough competition, but the inconsistency with yellows regarding kicking the ball away. It’s a travesty for arsenal this season.
People say Arsenal fans are deluded, they’re NOT there just right they constantly get targeted! What a disgraceful call in such a massive game leads me to believe the game is rigged.
When will refs get their own red cards and 3 game suspensions? Untill refs start getting punished, there will not be an improvement in refereeing standards in the EPL
Am a Man United fan to begin with but to be sincere and open, that was totally unfair judgement on Leandro Trossard from not only Michael Oliver but also VAR. Which is why English Referees have poor attendance when it comes to UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. Equally to Rice's red ♦️.
This is the most measured commentary I've heard on this channel. Regardless of what team you support, if you love the game, you would agree that the inconsistency in some of the decisions across the league, for many teams, is wild.
Last season Arsenal home game against Man City Arsenal were told by PGMOL that Mateo Kovacic was not sent off in the first-half last season because Michael Oliver “didn’t want to ruin the game”.
To me, the PGMOL has been gulity of trying to influence the outcome of the Arsenal games over the past 3 seasons. This is not an unfounded allegation. Every team in the league has practically been exposed to comtentious refeeeing decisions over the course of the season. However, it is practically week in week out for the Arsenal. When this perpetually happens to a particular club, then it is not normal. In the Brighton game, Declan Rice did not in anyway impede the restart of the game. A free kick cannot be taken from a moving ball. Yesterday, the Leandro Trossard second yellow should not have been brandished by Michael Oliver. I do not think that Trossard is aware that a foul has been given against him for his nudge on Bernando Silva. Hence, he continued playing to clear the ball. The two scenarios only exhibit the fact that the referee is trying to find every opportunity available to send an Arsenal player off the field. Over my years of watching British football, I came to the conclusion that the no known PGMOL has an unjust bias against Arsenal FC. If not for the PGMOL, I think Arsenal FC would have won at least one Premier title in the last two seasons. It was the forgetting to draw an offside line two seasons ago to allowing an out of play ball goal to stand at Newcastle last seasons. This is the third season on, the PGMOL is continuing to ply their trade on the Arsenal. The Arsenal fell short over the last two seaaons against Manchester City has a lot to do with the PGMOL.
What happened between this discussion and the ESPNFC show where everyone got on the PGMOL script. Janusz is often the only intelligent and honest pundit in the whole lot.
PGMOL have only one function. To protect the referee no matter what he does. Or VAR does. To help Manchester city is the most important, and ruining the game.

@@sunepbaMaybe you need to understand the rules better. They are forbidden from touching the ball under any circumstances. What about the time Doku literally picked the ball up and held on to it then? Was that also "helping the ref?!?"
@@sunepbaJust helped the referee 🤣😂.
Common sense is missing, credit to the boys for squeaking out a draw.
Let us just ignoretge Doku incident.
Playing against 13 (Man City, the referee and the Emirati State) is no mean feat.
A man on ESPN is being sensible and finally calling out the nonsense. Respect
the Refs are booking for nothing
Bernardo Silva and Doku both did it earlier in the match without any yellow card. Michael Oliver also let two awful challenges go by Kovacic last year
I casually said yesterday that I suspect the referee will ruin today's game, and viola they didn't disappoint. I am so upset that this gentleman decided he was going to be the game today. Sad !
I say and I quote Jürgen Klopp "Michael Oliver who is supposed to be the best English referee" this was after another bad refereeing game among many of his. The truth is that this guy cannot control a football game which is actually supposed to be his game, 90% of the games he's involved in are controversial.
Trossard is the one to blame kicking the ball away.
You say trossard shld blame himself yaa you right bt we are talking ov here is consistency doku did dah same en no card was issued pedro did di Sam no card
10 men v 12 men
Its common sense dont play dirty u dont get no cards 😂 keep crying
@hawk play dirty like throwing the ball at the back of your opponent’s head after you score ? It’s common knowledge different rules apply for the 115ers
I can't call it inconsistency but hate against Arsenal. The English referring system is corrupt.
Well said Janusz!
People need to go back and watch it again. Trossard was actually passing the ball out to martinelli he didn’t do it in frustration. But the Doku the one was not carded so when people say it’s the letter of the law they’re wrong because we’ve had two situation vs Arsenal where the ref decided not to give a yellow.
A robbery. As a Liverpool supporter I couldn’t care which team wins as they’re both tough competition, but the inconsistency with yellows regarding kicking the ball away. It’s a travesty for arsenal this season.
Watching the game live, he gives the 2nd yellow for the foul than pgmol uses the kicking of the ball as an excuse.
But there were far worse fouls than that all game that didn't get a booking. Haarland could have easily had 2 yellows.
@@AnuraUkulele oh your preaching to the choir cause without a doubt this is corruption, the neutrals I was watching with said the same
Nope! Arsenal ❤could easily have beaten them. The referee was Man City's 12th man. Such people bring the game into disrepute.
He kicked the ball away after he was called for the blatant foul! Gibberish analysis
What a disgrace.
Here we go again …. Another season … same foolishness … Nam Jamaica
We can all see what this is 👀
People say Arsenal fans are deluded, they’re NOT there just right they constantly get targeted! What a disgraceful call in such a massive game leads me to believe the game is rigged.
THANK YOU, THE HONEST ANALIYESING OF THE INCIDENT.
Trossard guilty of being an Arsenal player
The EPL is getting ruined by corrupt referees 😢
When will refs get their own red cards and 3 game suspensions? Untill refs start getting punished, there will not be an improvement in refereeing standards in the EPL
Referees need to start doing post match interviews like managers. They need to be questioned to preserve the integrity of the beautiful game
That red card was a total disgrace. I feel for Arsenal
I've been waiting for several years now to see one of these big, controversial decisions go against Man City.. 😮
The Premier League is amazing - what a banger of a game 🔥
Am a Man United fan to begin with but to be sincere and open, that was totally unfair judgement on Leandro Trossard from not only Michael Oliver but also VAR. Which is why English Referees have poor attendance when it comes to UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. Equally to Rice's red ♦️.
You are a very honest person. The ball was still in the air after the heading when Trossard played it.
This is the most measured commentary I've heard on this channel. Regardless of what team you support, if you love the game, you would agree that the inconsistency in some of the decisions across the league, for many teams, is wild.
Stop crying 😭😭😭
Last season Arsenal home game against Man City Arsenal were told by PGMOL that Mateo Kovacic was not sent off in the first-half last season because Michael Oliver “didn’t want to ruin the game”.
To me, the PGMOL has been gulity of trying to influence the outcome of the Arsenal games over the past 3 seasons. This is not an unfounded allegation. Every team in the league has practically been exposed to comtentious refeeeing decisions over the course of the season. However, it is practically week in week out for the Arsenal. When this perpetually happens to a particular club, then it is not normal. In the Brighton game, Declan Rice did not in anyway impede the restart of the game. A free kick cannot be taken from a moving ball. Yesterday, the Leandro Trossard second yellow should not have been brandished by Michael Oliver. I do not think that Trossard is aware that a foul has been given against him for his nudge on Bernando Silva. Hence, he continued playing to clear the ball.
The two scenarios only exhibit the fact that the referee is trying to find every opportunity available to send an Arsenal player off the field. Over my years of watching British football, I came to the conclusion that the no known PGMOL has an unjust bias against Arsenal FC. If not for the PGMOL, I think Arsenal FC would have won at least one Premier title in the last two seasons. It was the forgetting to draw an offside line two seasons ago to allowing an out of play ball goal to stand at Newcastle last seasons. This is the third season on, the PGMOL is continuing to ply their trade on the Arsenal. The Arsenal fell short over the last two seaaons against Manchester City has a lot to do with the PGMOL.
What happened between this discussion and the ESPNFC show where everyone got on the PGMOL script. Janusz is often the only intelligent and honest pundit in the whole lot.
