I mean on the face of it it's an excellent result and more than we could have hoped for given we had no bench away to PSG. And really with the amount of chances they had they really should have had the win. We gave it our all and really rode our luck so can't fault the effort at all. But we were lucky. But that all said we were 1-0 up at 106 minutes and to lose it like that is just sickening. FFS man.

That's scandalous.

Where the fuck have 8 minutes come from!?

Are Pope's kick out a tactic? It feels like they must be at times.

Actually fuck it. We're playing with 10 here. Isak is just standing there.

Potentially Hall on the left and Gordon up top? But I'd be tempted to just leave them to it tbh.

Isak looks disinterested a bit here.

Starting to have a feeling of inevitability about this.

I can't decide if Isak and Miley aren't on the same wave length or if Isak is goosed/saving his energy.

In some ways I'd rather do anything than watch this.

He's quickly becoming first name on the team sheet. Also get your quiz entry in!

Would be a ridiculous state for the group to go into game 6 if it stays like this. All 4 teams in control of their own fate. How often does that happen?

Not getting ahead of myself. We have no bench. But given ourselves one hell of a shot at this.

Was blasted at him tbf.

Aeghhhhh

Could Mbappe not just have chosen to score there? Why the theatrics?

But what if that free kick or corner leads to a goal? Think there was a case in the world cup where France dived, got a free kick, scored from it and won. That's a pretty big moment. The more you use it for the more tempted you are to use it for something else.

Hall's yellow against Dortmund was really soft and imo not even a foul. He had to play on eggshells from then on. Should VAR be intervening in every yellow card decision? I get your point about potentially reviewing the 2nd yellow could prevent some red cards that aren't but where do you stop? Tweet above suggested reviewing corner kick decisions. Do we just review decisions every time the referee blows his whistle? I'm being facetious to a point but this is where it leads.

But what's the criteria for overturning a 2nd yellow? If the 2nd is not a foul? So a clear and obvious mistake? What if the 2nd is a clear yellow but the first wasn't even a foul? No yellow for the 2nd offence that was a yellow? What if the 2nd is a bit soft and the 1st was a bit soft? Do they cancel out? And how long do we spend reviewing to work out if it was soft or not? Just keep this shite away from the game imo.

Just looked at the Fulham penalties. Jesus christ. WTF is VAR playing at? First one clearly wasn't a penalty yet VAR sticks with on-field decision and the second the attacker throws himself into the defender and VAR intervenes to award the penalty. Ludicrous.

I think clubs are maybe starting to wise up to the fact that changing managers isn't the silver bullet they think it is and possibly to an extent it once was. You can't just get in a relegation specialist anymore. See Leeds last season. And promoted teams these days need to expect there's a good chance they're going straight back down as they don't have the resources to compete. Instead you might need to go down with a view to coming back up and having a better shot at it next time. Boils down to do you think you have the right man or not. If so stick with him.

How whether our ball was in play or not vs arsenal was decided in a matter of seconds? How whether it came off Joelinton or not and when the contact was made in determining an offside or not was made in a matter of seconds? That one incident had an example of whether the ball was in or not and who touched it last take a couple of minutes to decide. We don't want to open corners to that sort of thing.

How's it good in the long run? It sounds awful. We already lose so much time to this nonsense. Last thing we need is more of it. It's the slippery slope you start going down though when you allow the use of replays in refereeing.

Still can't believe Southgate took a run into the ground Trippier for two exhibition matches over Livramento. Should have been sacked on the spot for that.
