The Arteta, Klopp, Mourinho post-match refereeing fits are so exhausting, even if they’re right it’s all about excuse making. Arteta is mixing his referee criticism with a bunch of praise for how well his team played and nonsense. They were shocking today, barely cracked .5 xg. It’s not about the referees it’s about denial and his fragile ego.
Very much appreciate the Ange, Pochettino, and even Conte approach of barely commenting on the officiating. Even in egregious situations, which todays Woolwich game was not, you look more foolish than righteous.
