It's not just "on TV". The VAR panel have loads of screens and loads of camera angles. No way they would have missed it last night.

There are three ways VAR can play out during the game: 1. The video referee speaks to the on-field referee through an earpiece, who will put his hand up to pause play and inform the players a decision is being reviewed. If satisfied there is no error, he will signal for play to re-start. 2. VAR decides. In this instance the referee will draw a rectangle with his arms to replicate a TV a screen. The video referee will review the incident and the referee will make the same signal if he wishes to change his decision. 3, An 'on-field review', as we saw when Italy were rewarded a penalty at Wembley earlier this year. With more subjective decisions, the video referee will instruct the referee to watch a replay on a pitchside screen. He will make the 'TV signal' before communicating his final decision.

The VAR panel alert the ref to it, not the other way on (in that example).

I was going to ask that too. It wouldn’t have been used on the elbow because the ref allowed play to continue. On the Yedlin red, it’s a matter of judgement. Even if VAR was used they could easily have agreed it was a red. What? VAR is still used when play isn't stopped.

Even Ki could have clipped his heel and took a tactical yellow. The goalscorer sprinted passed Kenedy though which was very poor. Ki had already been booked.

What would you have done? Kenedy? I wouldn't have played 3 at the back from the start. Only works to me if at least one is a decent passer. Dummett, play him left back and put Ritchie back in midfield. The not fit Dummett or the other imaginary one? The one that was sub. Like what's your point? That Benitez had no choice as he is Zeus returned from the Gods ? Nope, I even offered kenedy as the alternative. However, pretty much every fucker on here complained about the 4 at the back against West Ham, so I reckon your “point” is in hindsight.

Play 5 at the back, play 4 at the back, play 5 at the back. This place can’t make their minds up. manquillo was our only fit left back btw.

If that’s a natural movement why isn’t his other arm the same. Fully intended, needs a long ban. Won’t get one.

I completely disagree with all of this, feels like you're being negative for the sake of being negative. We could possibly go down, but I don't see it being a near certainty like you appear too. Tell me where 8 or 9 more wins are coming from then bearing in mind we have lost at home to Brighton,Leicester,West Ham and Wolves who the f*** are we going to beat to hit the so called magic 40 pts mark We don't need another 8/9 wins ffs. Eh yes we do Only if we lose every other game. You get points for draws too these days.

Nope, we’re gonna be more pissed off when the ref still ignores it.

It probably was a red. I’d be asking for a red at the other end. You'd be asking but you probably wouldn't get it. Dean had his red card before the lad even went down. Oh, absolutely. But a lot of players get sent off like that. It’s not controversial like the assault on pereth

It probably was a red. I’d be asking for a red at the other end.

What would you have done? Kenedy?

I hate our home matches. Especially when they’re not 3pm on a Saturday.

Yeah, that thought crossed my mind as well.l You think he’s just been told the sale is fake news? He’s pissed off at the officials, that’s all.

And that’s the actual point, he DIDN’T see it. Refs are shit, something needs to be done.

You not looking forward to trying to stay up every season with bang average players?

Their manager can go fuck himself too.

Oh.

Every game just shows how shit our options off the bench are though. When Ki and Muto go we’re gonna struggle to name a squad.

That’s not a great angle either.

That elbow is astonishing. One of the clearest fouls you’ll ever see. Ref claimed the ball hit Perez in the face???

Similar standard players

Injury, what should he have done?
