You should let play go and use the resources you have available, linesman, VAR etc.
None of these are relevant in the case where Grealish doesnt get the ball first (which he mistakenly thought was the case). VAR can’t go back and give City a free kick.
You can’t acknowledge that its VARs fault and then suggest that its something sinister with the on field ref lol
I’m actually going to go against the grain a little bit here, but I think the reaction to Hooper’s mistake yesterday is overblown. The advantage rule is complicated to implement, a ref has about one second to assess the entire field AND try predict which outcome (playing on or a free kick) is more advantageous. In comparison, a ref in rugby has like 30-40 seconds to weigh up the decision. He clearly misread that Grealish was favorite to get the ball, and seeminly second guessed himself and reacted to that. He also gestured that the foul had been committed, and some are arguing that he may have blown his whistle initially. If that’s the case, you have to stop play.
Of course its a mistake, no debate. But that’s the definition of human error, and understandable imo. Its very different than having multiple refs with access to infinite replays, camera angles and slow-motion, and still getting it wrong.
No, there’s noise that Arteta loves him, significant distance between those two things. Every manager in the world would love him
Rashford not looking good on the right, and Garnacho needs to be on the left. Awkward situation for them now, top young talent vs massive, new contract. Someone’s gonna compromise
What a talent he is, wow
Well now I feel like an idiot. But thank you!
Can anyone DM me a link for the women’s game on now?
Would anyone mind DMing me a reliable website to watch the womens’ games?
Wow this is amazing, I’d be at the armoury on day 1
Nope, we have to attribute the culmination of a million tiny contributions to a single point of failure!
What’s up with all the Vlahovic chat, have I missed something
That’s a lot of responsibility to put on Patino, and I say this as a huge fan
Just imagine a reality where we convinced Gundogan to give us a year or two
Injuries are the primary issue but he’s had a few run of stinkers too, even when match fit. There were games were the guy couldn’t complete a pass, and people just wave those games away and hide them under the injury excuse.
Been a long time since I’ve seen a footballer with such a wide range of performance, 10/10 followed by a 2/10 a week later
Its mad to me that people actually enjoyed that Brazil - Argentina game. Just the culmination of all the shitty aspects of football, from the actual game to the fiasco off the pitch. Absolute embarrassment for everyone involved, but people will say it’s great because grown ass men shouted at eachother with PAASSHHHHUUUUNNNNN
how that would solve our continuous problems with central access?
Because a runner in the 8 let’s Saka and Martinelli drift centrally more often (without losing the width). More difficult to mark in terms of a pressing system because its a far more fluid arrangement, but also a qualitative superiority by getting Saka and Martinelli closer to goal.
Love him or hate him, I guess we can all agree that Havertz is a fascinating footballer to try understand lol
Its not a guarantee that Villa would’ve accepted 30m back then either
Nope, there is nothing in that incident that would allow VAR to intervene. They can’t overturn a free kick (or lack thereof) or advantage. VAR is literally irrelevant to this specific case, no matter what decision Hooper makes
