Salah’s made better fullbacks look just as hapless tbf. Starting Hall (with the limited game time he’s had) against one of the best wingers in the league wasn’t a much more appealing option. krafth at RB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 I’d have played Tino v Salah and Krafth v Diaz. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame, really as I think he’s been hard done by through how solid defensively we’d been last season. “Always a 7 out of 10” - everyone.

I'm convinced the VAR were so focused on looking at the contact that they forgot to check the original offside. Looked miles offside when McCallister played the through ball. Another royal fuck up by the video assistant I'd like to see a proper replay alright, strange if it wasn't looked at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 saw the Guardian match report today, really poor from Andy Hunter no mention of Newcastle's disallowed goal at 0-0 no mention of Longstaff penalty appeal at 1-1 right before their second no mention of Jota's dive and potential offside for their second peno and it can't be because of word limit since he was able to reference Firmino watching on sidelines more than once pathetic journalism Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 12 minutes ago, The Prophet said: I'm still baffled why he didn't just roll it into the empty net.

timeEd32 Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 ESPN's weekly VAR review leads with the Jota decision: https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39204359/the-var-review-jota-penalty-overturned Basically argues both sides and then uses it to discuss the current state of VAR, which is fair enough IMO. I wasn't really mad at the referees yesterday - it's the fact that I don't really know what is and isn't a penalty anymore, I don't understand when VAR intervenes and when it doesn't, and as a spectator you don't get anything approaching an explanation of why something was upheld or overturned. How anyone in charge thinks the current implementation of video review is the right way to go about it is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 I think it was Wenger who argued offside should be decided by clear daylight between players rather than a fraction of someone's hand being considered enough to rule offside. I think that made a lot of sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
