Football season 2020/2021

VAR in the Prem is utterly laughable.

Making decisions based off low-resolution images where you can count each individual pixel and a line drawn by hand is not how it should be.

I reckon this Leicester could win the League. Lovely team.

[Gorged]

How we had that goal ruled out for offside i do not know...
Got a deserved point in the end probably should have had all 3 but what can you do. 5th rolling into this international break who would of thought it xD

[Jessicka]

Pep out.

In other news, best I’ve seen United play at OT for actual years today.

It's insane that Guardiola still haven't learned that you need play on Anfield with a low backline and not just charge forward aimlessly..... It never works, but he still does it.

And now he's fuming over a handball that, according to the new rules, isn't a handball. Man's gonna go bald on his chin soon.

There's two things in the new rules

Unnatural position (WTF is that anyway).
Extra time on the ricochet.

As a Liverpool fan, glad it wasn't given but I think that the play should have been stopped. Either as a penalty or because freekick due to it coming off the hand of the city player that ricocheted. Essentially what Komapny was saying in the sky studio.

You're talking about Silva handling it just before? Yeah, that is definitely a free kick.

Though in the case of the second handling, that was more a case of his arm being in a natural position that doesn't make the body bigger than it needs to be.

Key difference is that attacking and defending handballs are supposed to be judged a bit differently.

[draykorinee]

Definitely a handball. But then silva did to so it should have been called back.

Easy to say in hindsight.

You're essentially saying they should abandon their game play style and completely change their approach and bend to the opponent rather than enforce your own will on the opponent.

Telling John Stones to play a low backline is like telling Jon Jones to not use his wrestling/BJJ skills. Its just dumb.

When you abandon your philosophy and allow the opponent to dictate everything you get... Emery's Arsenal. And it's not working.

Well i'd rather do that then keep getting outplayed like they've done the last 5 or 6 games against Liverpool. That's just silly stubborness to not adapt to your opponents. Especially when playing against one of the best teams in modern football.

[Zantera]

But last year City almost won at Anfield (additional time penalty kick was missed) in that 0-0 draw and they beat Liverpool at home. They did get punished in this last game but they will probably beat Liverpool at the Etihad basically making those two games a +/- 0 since it evens out. IF City loses the title to Liverpool it's not because they lost at Anfield, it's other games they have messed up this season.

Chelsea over the years have done so and it usually left Liverpool stumped on how to break it down. Until the last 3 games Chelsea v Liverpool was an almost never win for the reds with 15 games played and only 2 of them wins.

I don't count last 3 due to player revolts and Lampard getting team to gel.

How far back are you going because conte famously switched to a back 3 to win the league. And chelsea have been shite since unless you're a Sarri fan, but who is really?

[Henx]

Yaaaay! Finland for the first time ever in a championship!

[Sughs]

EURO qualification mostly done. Only need to find the runner up of group E tomorrow and then the last 4 spots, out of the play-offs, in March.
If the teams qualified keep their game up, it's gonna be a tough EURO. Specially with the new seeding system, we can have a group with Spain, France and Portugal for example, or England, Germany and Netherlands.

Spurs sack Poch.

If they expect Mourinho then they are in for a surprise. He won't deal with Levy's horseshit.

[draykorinee]

Wow, I didn't think they'd do it. Crazy bastards.

Apparently I'm wrong. Guess summer's gonna be spicy.
