Just got to remember 2 draws against Arsenal and Leeds isn’t as good as a loss and a win. Got to keep playing positive rather than safe. I'm quite proud of the performance in some ways. We never shrunk or gave up, we stayed professional and positive. I saw nothing that made me more concerned about the rest of our run in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything Man Utd are the nervous looking ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could easily have won that game, we had the chances just needed a bit of luck. Agreed ... we had plenty of good chances to at least draw. xG from today’s game … Newcastle 1.37 Arsenal 1.29 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Fantastic result for us with West Ham winning. We have similar games to Man Utd, they have home advantage but we have a 2 point head start plus goal difference. Liverpool at best have 2 games to get more points than we can get in 4 games,again with similar games. We're still in a great position! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely we need to acknowledge that ‘clear and obvious’ doesn’t mean ‘clear and obvious in one replay’. Clarity increases with more information and in this case more angles = more information.

gdm Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) The only complaint I have about the penalty incident is the inconsistency. Ref got told by var to go to the screen today whereas the incident this week for Liverpool v Fulham the ref didn’t go have a look and VAR went with the refs first decision when clearly it was wrong. Just a lack of consistency. Edited May 7, 2023 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball hit Lindelofs hand while it was hugging his body, which isn't a pen, but then his hand bonked the ball into his own face ffs If he hadn't reacted/flinched when the ball hit his hand the first time it wouldn't have been a pen but how on earth you don't give a pen there is beyond me. Has there been any explanation? I wasn't paying attention but in the Norwegian studio I thought I heard they say the ref had blown the whistle to end the half just as it hit him...?

I know that's what it's meant to be, it's just not how it gets used. Love that clip of Shearer going in on them, it's exactly my issue with it. I like VAR, assuming it's used to correct blatant errors. I don't agree with it being used for hairline offsides etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 In my subjective opinion clear and obvious error for offsides should probably be if there's air between the attacker and defender. Like for the famous Isak vs Liverpool goal I don't understand how it is possible even with VAR technology to 100% determine, unless they're filming with with like a 1000fps camera, that the leather on the passers foot touches the ball before Isak is past the Liverpool defender.
