    Cucurella’s game is all about dark arts. Kicking the shit out of you, grabbing, and then going down crying murder from nothing. Once he finally got booked, Saka cooked him.

      Right as they gave the handball pen he went into Saka from behind in a way that really should’ve been a yellow.

      It’s insane that he didn’t get booked untill the 70th minute, he was literally kicking especially Saka all the time.

        Every time Saka had the ball it was Cucurella pushes and pulls for days, not a foul in sight

            Yeah but the refs job is to ensure players like Saka don’t get kicked out of the game like he was in the first half. Cucurella didn’t do anything special against Saka. He kicked him constantly until he finally got booked. Meanwhile for an entire half our best player isn’t playing the game. No coincidence that once he had to stop pulling and kicking we immediately improved and found goals.

        Not even a surprise anymore refs always give defenders a free reign to attempt murder on Saka. Looking forward to Newcastle 🙃

        He kicked through the back of Sakas legs 3 times and took a ridiculous swan dive, all in the first five minutes

        Every time is like that. I have no idea why refs tolerate his way of playing. He makes 15 fouls to receive 1 yellow.

      He took over from Alonso in being an absolute prick that is just a disgusting football player. At least he did not kill a person.

      I’m convinced he keeps his hair like that just to make his falling over more dramatic.
