Did you actually watch the replays. He clearly gets a nick on the ball before making the slightest of contact with the attackers foot, he also is trying to pull out his peg at this point. The attacker caused the contact just as much as the defender. This isn’t a foul anywhere on the pitch and shouldn’t be a foul ever. He wins the ball clean and only makes slight contact with the forward causing him no harm or danger whatsoever.
Is anyone actually surprised by this? Like when I heard he was going back to Palace yet again I just honestly felt sorry for Palace fans. Roy has seen better days and tbh managers have moved on a lot. The standard of managers in the pl is very high imo and Roy just falls way short of the mark. We have pep, klopp, then arteta, emery, howe, ten haag, de zerbi, ange all clearly better than Roy and that’s just of the top of my head. Palace need a newer manager to make use of some of the really talented players u have
