Herrera should be starting every game.

FutureGuy

Jaysus that's a penalty every day of the week. What's he doing with his arms!!!

Not sure what people are talking about. Definite penalty. Dare I say it that a lot of people repeat what they hear the commentators say.

But it's Robbie Savage ffs

Mantis Toboggan

Soft, but no need to have his hand above his head there.

It's probably the only way we're going to score so I'll take it.

Nope.

Anyone

Howard Webb still giving penos to Utd even when he is retired.

Gringo180

Worst penalty decision I have ever witnessed.

RobertKK

Good decision by referee, the arm and hand were sticking out a mile and impeded the ball.

Andersonisgod

And there's Savage disagreeing with the refereeing decision of the World Cup final and Champions League final referee Howard Webb. Robbie clearly feels he's got better credentials to judge that decision than Howard.

J. Marston

Is deliberate handball even a thing? Seems like the last man rule to me. Something that doesn't exist but is constantly spouted.

Fellaini's header was going towards goal and Mbemba's raised arm stopped it. Penalty all day.

What are you talking about, his hands were by his side and I'm fairly sure he didn't touch the ball. At least that's what the neutrals in here tell me. Why would they have a problem with it?!

Flint Fredstone

Lol at the outrage
Stupid decision.......... By the defender to hang his arm up in the air where the ball is. He can have no argument.

Young has again started really well

Lol stonewall penalty

GreNoLi

Good decision on another viewing.

FutureGuy

Haha BT are so fcuking bitter!!!

jayo26

Savage ya clown

That_Guy

Outrageous decision. Out-fúcking-rageous.

EDIT: Second viewing slowed down... Yeah ok.

I definitely wouldn't go as far as stonewall but certainly in the realm of "could easily be given"

Flint Fredstone

Disgusting/disgraceful decision???? Some people need to get out more.

Strumms

Ok.. last reply there... definate peno. He didnt even jump.. Hoddle and Savage not willing to backtrack and sounding like idiots. I can take Hoddle but Savage is a clown.

RobertKK

Mbemba looked like he was doing it deliberately, can only blame himself for conceding the penalty.

b757

Commentary is dire from BT Sport. Switched over to a US version.

I know people say it a lot and often but Robbie Savage really is dire, like legitimately one of the least intelligent, incisive or cohesive people ever to be paid to talk about football on television. He's gone out here tonight to have a go at Man Utd, even when the opening 5 minutes doesn't support anything he says and it's only 5 minutes in! Usually I don't care that much about football punditry, especially of the Premier League, where the conversation is often so painfully basic and obvious, but Savage is one of the very few who is an active detriment to enjoying football coverage on TV.

He really is

Correct.

theteal

The BT lads see the same replays we do, right??? It's OK to say ye were initially wrong lads!

Ref was spot on and explained perfectly by whoever the ref in the studio is.

Canadel

It's a penalty.

Even if he didn't mean it (which I don't think he did), LeBron James would be proud of that block. Harsh as he had his arm out for balance on the jump and wasn't looking at the ball, but rules are rules.

He looked like he was trying to grab a hold of Fellani

That_Guy

10 men behind the ball. Fúcking hell, push out.

GreNoLi

Dummett's on toast.

Mars Bar

Some of this football has been the best Man United have played in some time.

I actually initially thought it was harsh
However Bt replayed it from another angle

Definitely a peno

The faux outrage is way overboard on that decision. BT are sickened cause Webb called them on it.

Ordinary man

Anyone giving out about savages commentary would want to hear chris waddle on the channel i'm watching. He's bringing bias to a new level

Liam O

Anyway, job done, just keep the ball and don't take unnecessary risks.

Chris Waddle not backtracking either.

Looked like he had his arm extended looking to feel where Fellani was and then the ball was headered against it.

That_Guy

Dummett is AGAIN being targeted by the opposition. Fúcking hell McClaren, can't you see that he's fúcking useless.

RobertKK

Robbie is savage....bad.

Lord TSC

Wow, I thought Owen was the worst pundit I'd ever heard but Hoddle is fast offering competition...

super_furry

Glenn Hoddle sounds like he's having trouble restraining himself from just leaning over and slapping Robbie Savage.

Mantis Toboggan

Robbie savage is some muppet

J. Marston

What's Savage's problem with United?

StringerBell

Some "co-commentators" really struggle to hide their spite toward a team.

UrbanFret

If you support them it's a penalty, to everyone else it's clearly not. his arm is about 4 inches from the toilet brushs head, how is he supposed to get it out of the way?. Unnatural position? ,that's pretty vague. who's to say that's not a natural position for him to have his arm in.

He couldn't get a game?
