Kontroversi Wasit Premier League: Keras ke Arsenal, Lembek ke MU?

Bola.net - Kontroversi perwasitan di Premier League terus berlanjut. Pertandingan akhir pekan lalu menunjukkan sejumlah keputusan kontroversial yang berat sebelah, khususnya terkait Arsenal dan Manchester United.

Kedua tim berhasil memetik kemenangan akhir pekan lalu. Arsenal menundukkan Brentford dengan skor 2-1, MU menghajar Leeds United dengan skor telak 4-2.

Dua laga itulah yang jadi pemicu protes fans Arsenal di media sosial. Wasit tampak begitu mudahnya memberikan hukuman untuk pemain Arsenal, tapi tidak untuk pemain MU. Padahal jenis pelanggarannya sama.

Di laga Arsenal vs Brentford, Jon Moss juga membuat sejumlah keputusan yang merugikan Arsenal, seperti mengabaikan pelanggaran fatal yang seharusnya jadi penalti untuk The Gunners.

Harusnya dapat penalti

Keputusan-keputusan wasit Jon Moss di laga Arsenal kontra Brentford kemarin juga dibicarakan oleh Keith Hackett, mantan wasit Premier League. Dia mengakui ada beberapa keputusan janggal.

Salah satu kasus yang jelas adalah jatuhnya Lacazette di kotak penalti. Pemain Brentford jelas-jelas menghantam kaki Lacazette, tapi wasit mengabaikannya.

"Kita telah menyaksikan pelanggaran menarik lawan dan memblok di kotak penalti, tetapi tidak ada hukuman. Seharusnya pelanggaran-pelanggaran itu dihukukm oleh wasit," kata Hackett di Footbal Insider.

"Ini soal masalah antara wasit di lapangan dan operator VAR. Operator VAR seharusnya membantu wasit, tapi faktanya tidak."

"Pelanggaran kepada Lacazette itu jelas penalti, tidak perlu diragukan," imbuhnya.

Lembek ke MU

Manchester United bermain setelah Arsenal, jadi fans The Gunners bisa membuat perbandingan. Mereka menyoroti sejumlah keputusan wasit di laga tersebut.

Scott McTominay jelas terlihat telah membuat sejumlah pelanggaran fatal, bahkan sebagian lebih buruk dari pelanggaran pemain-pemain Arsenal. Namun, wasit mengabaikannya begitu saja.

Beberapa pertandingan terakhir pemain Arsenal dihukum kartu merah untuk pelanggaran yang tidak fatal. Namun, McTominay seolah-olah dimaafkan saat membuat pelanggaran berbahaya.

Perbedaan inilah yang memicu spekulasi bahwa wasit-wasit Premier League terlalu lembek ke MU, padahal sangat keras ke Arsenal.

Banyak pelanggaran

Fun fact: Scott Mctominay made as many fouls against Leeds (6) as Arsenal have made for their last three red cards combined.

Martinelli vs Wolves (3)
Partey vs Liverpool (2)
Gabriel vs Manchester City (1)

Harusnya dapat kartu merah

I can understand why some fans may have enjoyed Scott McTominay’s attitude at Leeds. ‘Making white shirts red’ and all that. But…

6 fouls, probably should’ve been sent off at an awkward time. Only 5/18 duels won (28%), possession lost 19 times…

He was baddd today.

Wasit jelaskan dong

Scott McTominay has committed at least six fouls (that Tierney has actually whistled for). How he is still on the pitch only the referee can explain

Harus dibuatkan video nih

Someone needs to do a comp of all the reckless challenges Scott McTominay keeps making game in game out and still gets away with no booking.

6 pelanggaran gak ada kartu

Scott McTominay committed six fouls yesterday, twice as many as any of his teammates. He was booked once.

Raphinha committed no fouls but was booked for dissent. Luke Ayling and Pascal Struijk committed one foul each, for which they received bookings. pic.twitter.com/22htmKLk2O

Wasit nih!

I hate Scott McTominay. How does he stay on that pitch, and how the fuck did he get his first card on 77. Referee absolute joke!

Bisa gagal empat besar Arsenal

If you watch the way Scott McTominay was refereed today, and see how Xhaka & Partey are refereed, you'll see why Arsenal can't finish top 4.

It's nothing to do with quality of tactics or players. It isn't a level playing field. The sport is finished.

Andai McTominay main di Arsenal ...

If Scott McTominay played for Arsenal... bla bla bla we know how this goes

Harus dicoba nih

When we play Man United, I want Arsenal players to make a meal out of every Scott McTominay foul. More needs to be said about the reckless tackling this make makes on a game to game basis.
