Not in the first half at all. Definitely second though. I would say that he handed he game to us but in the end Leicester also gave away stupid fouls and gave the ref a reason to show his ineptitude. It's like how Gabriel was more at fault than the ref against Chelsea at the Emirates since he didn't need to react and give the ref a chance to f**k it up
I said to my gf I hope he watches it at HT and sees his mistake cos he'd even it up in the second half.
He started off a bit shit again but once he gave that early yellow in the second half it was clear he'd realised the mistake and the crowd had got to him.
Simpson could've got away with his 2nd yellow, particularly given how soft he was with them in the first half. Then again Coquelin gets a yellow for our first semi-bad foul of the game. They more than deserved the rest of their yellows though as did Ramsey for his hack (although he was visible annoyed by the previous crap).
Dreadful against us in the first half, made up for it a bit in the second but Simpson caused his own problems. You can say Monreal gave them the chance for the pen and fair enough but so many other fouls were ignored in that first half.
I lost count of how many times they barged into us from behind with no intention of getting the ball. The one on Ozil before the goal was the most prominent but the early one I remember was Kante just pushing Ramsey over from behind without getting near the ball.
