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.
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.

let’s not forget Brighton bought him from Getafe, notoriously the dirtiest team in Europe
It’s insane that he didn’t get booked untill the 70th minute, he was literally kicking especially Saka all the time.
Every time is like that. I have no idea why refs tolerate his way of playing. He makes 15 fouls to receive 1 yellow.
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

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’
