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.
A comment from the r/soccer match thread was dick riding hard on warra world class performance he put in, a not fully fit, bad performance saka dribble pass him like 3 times got and assist
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.

Still fuming over that duel he won against Cucurella so cleanly and ref gave a foul
Genuinely so annoying it was in a good position for us too, just awful awful refereeing.
Yeah that was some bullshit.

let’s not forget Brighton bought him from Getafe, notoriously the dirtiest team in Europe
Same guy who got accused of racially abusing Militao

What does warra mean
‘Warra’ = where a (where is)
That’s why you’ll see Messi fans saying things like ‘Warra World Cup for Ronaldo’
It’s insane that he didn’t get booked untill the 70th minute, he was literally kicking especially Saka all the time.
Not even a surprise anymore refs always give defenders a free reign to attempt murder on Saka. Looking forward to Newcastle 🙃
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 kicked through the back of Sakas legs 3 times and took a ridiculous swan dive, all in the first five minutes
I was hoping for a double yellow there a-la-martinelli, cos of the way he went over and yelled at the linesman
Wasted 2 min berating the officials. Insanity he’s just been told to calm down
Every time Saka had the ball it was Cucurella pushes and pulls for days, not a foul in sight
It’s bullshit but at the same time I’d take that of my fullback is up against a world class winger

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.
He bitched so much about that booking and it was blatant
I’m convinced he keeps his hair like that just to make his falling over more dramatic.
That’s what Getafe does with a man
Right as they gave the handball pen he went into Saka from behind in a way that really should’ve been a yellow.
Yes. Midget couldn’t get a jump and he rushed with his head in Kais elbow… Foul, like what?
Referees clearly never seen anyone head the ball before
Omg where Cucurella just jumped up into Kai’s armpit and won a foul? Absolutely pathetic officiating.
Yeah thats the one, pathetic officiating indeed.
