Quite astounding contrast in styles - others might call it shocking inconsistency - from Coote in Liv-Bton vs Taylor in City-Ars.
Coote gave 8 (eight) yellow cards, five of which seemed optional/unnecessary. There were also several moments in the match where he seemed to be taking strong queues from others. The first yellow card (Mac Allister) was invented it seemed on advice in his ear. The timing was such, it took so long for him to whistle and then card, it seemed like it was decided in Stockley park. Coote then seemed to have trouble with foul recognition and basically carded anything that moved. As the commentors and both sets of fans said, it made him look weak and out of his depth.
Taylor, perhaps having watched the nonsense earlier, showed two yellow cards, both to Arsenal for time wasting related. Silva and Odegaard committed obviously reckless challenges and no cards were shown. I know they are not that kind if player but watch Silva’s ridiculo-hack sliding from behind. OMG.
(Taylor appeared very strong, calmest in the room etc.)
In the end, both matches were very easy by premier league standards. Yet both referee performances would be 8,1 or worse IMHO.
And surely the players, teams, fans deserve more consistency.
