He said he didn't want to upset the balance of the team meaning he was happy to play for a draw.
He obviously had Dortmund in his head. We were in a similar situation against the, made changes and went for it, and out of nowhere they got a goal and won it.
He learned from his mistake.
Sometimes gambles pay off and sometimes they do. It was worth gambling for the three points yesterday IMO.
And if we lose to Chelsea at home? We're then 4th, lost to Chelsea (h), City & Utd (a) with all the critics out again. At least now we're second and on the same points as Liverpool having shown we can do something else than lose when it comes to one of the usual big 3.

This, definitely not worth the risk...

Had it happened to Chelsea down the other end I for one would say its a penalty and you can damn well guarantee that it would have been given by most refs in the league. Would I be livid if it was given of course but I would be livid because we gave away a penalty not because the ref didn't let it go
Obvious penalty is obvious

No actually it wouldnt. Its an unwritten rule of common sense amongst refs.
Only the softest of refs would have given that, plenty wouldnt.
Howard Webb wouldnt.
