Cracking game for Anthony Taylor and his team.
I thought this as well
I think this season Anthony Taylor is one of the highest ratest refs in the eyes of uefa
It certainly is and I am sure he is also. Evidently Taylor must perform brilliantly in Europe, hence these very high profile appointments. I would describe his domestic performances as good with certain obvious aberrations, like the FA Cup Final this year.
It leads me to wonder whether and why certain referees do so very well on the international stage and yet aren't quite so stunning domestically. Any thoughts anyone? I wonder whether it's something to do with communications skill.
