Sho Time Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Do you actually get a trophy for winning the NL? What even is the prize/point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 From my understanding of VAR, the purpose was to correct clear and obvious errors. Lingard being a millimetre offside, according to a derived line dependent on the TV angle is not a clear and obvious error imo, especially given that it would be impossible for the naked human eye to detect. Are we even sure that the technique being used to discern these sorts of marginal offsides decisions is correct in the same way that goal line technology or the hawkeye system in tennis are? I do not see how it could be possible. In theory you would need a directly overhead angle and there is no fixed line or object to use as reference for offsides. The NFL has had replay for decades it is still only used for egregious errors generally. Football has had VAR for two years or so and we are already reviewing at finer margins. I am not sure it makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 It has to be the proximity to the Champions League that stopped us from winning this thing. In 2008 when Spain won the Euros, it was an all English final. 2010 when Spain won it was a German Italian final 2012 Spain won and it was a German english final 2014 all Spanish final and Spain got knocked out in the group stage That’s my hypothesis.

County Durham Mag Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 van Dijk and Wijnaldum seemed to manage fine.

Astroblack Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I've watched Wijnaldum in Liverpool's team for the past two years and still have no idea what he does. He kind of just floats around. He seems to run away from the ball. He doesn't tackle. He barely touches the ball. He does pop up in the box any time they attack but he's far different from the player we had. There was a moment in the Barca game where he faked out three players and crowd went "oooohhhh" and I was thinking "that's the player we had". Yes he's winning things and all that but it's not the same Georginho Wijnaldum we had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yerdas El Savon Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 He keeps the ball so well and rarely gives it away. Can't think of much else, mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Wijnaldum is less effective in the team that doesnt have much of the ball. He was totally anonymous for us at times because we tried to hit teams on the break and didnt have a great deal of possesion. Having played for PSV and Feyenoord before us, its understandable that he didnt adapt well to playing for an inferior team against better opposition.
