Everyone in the world has seen it
Fulham boss Marco Silva claimed a lack of consistency in the application of the rules cost his team a victory against Manchester United this afternoon.
The Cotgers obtained a share of the loot thanks to the equalizer of Emile Smith Rowe, replacing him, but Silva was furious that two key decisions went against Fulham.
First, that United received a penalty in the first half – subsequently, Bruno Fernandes, who has gripped his stain on the bar – and, secondly, that the aim of visitors was authorized to stand despite an obvious push at the back of Calvin Bassey by the defender United Leny Yoro. Yoro took advantage of it by taking a look at the corner of Bryan Mbeumo with the ball over the net in the back of Rodrigo Muniz.
Silva could not understand why Fulham had been punished by the concession of a penalty with Bassey depriving himself with Mason Mount at the same time as Luke Shaw was fighting with Muniz.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: “I would like to explain everything about Var decisions this afternoon, but I can’t. I can’t because they were different in many different ways. They were incredible when he saw two mistakes at the same time, Shaw on Rodrigo and Bassey sur Mount, the two faults, and they saw that Bassey Foul was half a second before Muniz’s fault. “
Fulham Silva’s boss requests consistency
The referees of the Premier League were ordered to be accompanied by the outfit in the sets this season, which made the fact that Var did not exclude the opening of UNITE even more perplexed.
Silva added: “Then the second (the united goal). I think what I saw is what everyone saw in the stadium, everyone in the world saw it. Two players were isolated in a corner and a player pushed the other to direct the ball. If you go through the rules, you know what will happen.
Bassey also confused
Bassey was also perplexed that a challenge was given as a fault and the other not.
On his tangle with Mount, the half-center said: “Of course, looking back maybe a little too much force. One of those I have to protect myself and put myself able to attack the ball.
“You have seen them given, and you haven’t seen them.
“When you look at everything in Slo-Mo, it will always be a fault.
“The referee must take into account the difference in force. If someone is my size, he doesn’t seem so bad.”
From Muniz’s goal, he said: “For me, it is clear and obvious. He has two hands in the back and he (Yoro) has created an advantage for himself.
“If there is no contact, I go up up there and I fight with him. He clearly prevented me from arriving at the ball.
“For me, it should be clearly a fault.”
Silva – Our mentality was in the lead
Despite his anger, Silva was satisfied with his team’s screen with Fulham recording consecutive 1-1 games to start the season after last weekend dead end in Brighton.
“The UTD man started better than us,” admitted the Portuguese. “The first 20 minutes they were better, we lost most of the 50-50 duels and when you lose duels, you arrive late in situations. They had the ability to start creating problems.
“We have taken a long time to adapt to things in terms of reaction and proof of good decisions on the ball and we let them support as they wish. After that, we started to settle a little in our game and we started to find our three fields in the field and to create superiority in there and from there, the game was more balanced.
“In the second half, we were better, even when they marked, it was in our best time of the game. Our reaction and our composure and our mentality of the boys were the best.
“The players who entered the match in the second half had a massive impact. After the 1-1, we were more on the front foot and they arrived in our box on the sets. Nothing more. We have created well, we arrived in dangerous areas and we had to be more clinical and ruthless.”
