Yeah, I’m all for Livramento starting ahead of him but with Trippier out, he had to start. 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.

What's happened to Matt Targett btw? Did he get injured again?

Yeah. Had to have surgery. Shame, really as I think he’s been hard done by through how solid defensively we’d been last season.

Does anyone know if last night's game was Mo Salah's last game before leaving for the ACoN?

 

If the commentary was anything to go by it was his last game before Ascension.

Probably forgotten amongst all the anger at the penalty being awarded for Jota diving but did they check if he was offside originally? 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 :nope:

I'd like to see a proper replay alright, strange if it wasn't looked at.

Oh is that where he is going? I thought he might have been off on an epic solo mission to mars or something, the way they were going on.

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

After he nearly had both legs brutally smashed? How could he?

Any word on how long Jota will be out for? The double leg break from Dubs could have been a career ender. We were lucky it was just a pen and not a red card on top

I'm still baffled why he didn't just roll it into the empty net.

Cause he took a bad touch - ball rolls away from him after he got past Dubs.  So he cheated.

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.

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.
