Other games (2024/25)

[Erikse]

Must have been some other player that were offside by interfering with play? Maybe they had to look into how much he interfered etc. Otherwise it seems mad that they took so long. Or maybe they spent time confirming that semi automated picked the correct player. Don't know how the tech works.

Guessing they had to check each player and see which ones caused the obstruction. Not like it was a single player involved. 

 

It had nowt to do with an obstruction.

 

The goalscorer was offside when the cross was played.

But Merino himself was offside?

I've never really thought about it, but the way Arsenal do them deep free-kicks is actually really idiotic, by starting offside and then running into position it just allows the defense to step up a bit, or the free-kick taker to be slightly too early, and you have a goal disallowed. You have specialized coaches and the best he can come up with is something that is fundamentally flawed.

All the Arsenal players looked offside, not just 1 or 2, all of them that ran from the corner flag were offside 

[LFEE]

Arsenal need to do what Villa didn’t do enough of. Bypass midfield and long balls into the channels. PSG defence don’t like facing their own goal.

Surely they can sort that out, bit of no nails and some bodge will do. 😂

That’s why it possibly took as long and highlighted the systems weakness. They were all so close to the ball in a line.

What a save

Might be that they had problems picking out the right player with the tech. Purely speculative. They could've just used their eyes if it was obvious, but you know how VAR is. Everything needs to be proved with tech if it can be etc.

PSG melting again in the 2nd half. 

[Jesse Pinkman]

Trossard is class

[Sean]

That save highlights the level of GK you need for a title-winning/CL-chasing team. Something we will hopefully be looking to address this summer.

Tbf I didn’t notice that. Was more thinking the others where who got in the defenders way 

[SAK]

Yeah, I know he’s a club legend but Shearer as a commentator gets on my nerves (Amazon prime). Just states the obvious, no insight. At least talk about your own experiences in similar situations and what you did etc if you can talk about tactics.

[nemtizz]

If Rice could pass...
