100%. Even the Jesus goal I could only half arsed celebrate because I thought he was off.Football should be about spontaneous fun. VAR is about correcting CLEAR AND OBVIOUS mistakes. It's not remotely clear or obvious whether he was offside. When goals this like are chalked off, it spoils the game completely. I would much rather have goals like this allowed to stand as it's not clear that anyone made a mistake.
I really dislike VAR, it kills any enjoyment of goals being scored.
Which is why we should have got Alvarez in for the rest of the season not leave him in Argentina. He might not have played much but he'd have got use to our system.I agree but if we play a striker the rest of true set up has to change. Could be a transition year next year unless it clicks early
It' true what they say , Chorlton has a cultural diverse population :-)Got back to a pub in Chorlton and everyon - fans of united, toon, Wednesday, Barnsley, Chelsea, Norwich, Leeds, Bristol Rovers, Blackburn, Blades, Everton - are saying “How the fuck did you contrive to draw that game?”
I thought he was electric with his movement and pressing-and incredibly unlucky with the offside. Yes, after the first miss (which was a good save) he lost confidence in the box. Lots to like though. VVD and Matip were all over the shop trying to handle the front 3.I hope you told 'em.
Raheem Sterling - really was poor today, those mossed chances - unforgiveable.
That’s the downside of winning next week.One of the issues for the winner next Saturday will be where to fit in their rescheduled matches.
I don't the Foden pass was ever on to be honest. He was right to take the shot on himself and he had two choices, Bend it around the keeper or lob him. Unfortunately he got too much on the lob and put it over. No doubt he should have scored I think the lob was a pretty simple one by Mahrez standards.Still can’t get over Mahrez’s decision to try to lob the keeper when he can play Foden or Kev in for a tap in.
Don’t think I ever will.
As a spectacle, the Etihad derby was a very poor game, as it was so one-sided.The press/media are all saying what a great game it was.
I am struggling to agree with that, City were good but not at our best. Dippers were ok but not as good as City. City missed a hat full of chances cant really remember the dippers having many chances. I think only two corners for the dippers.
Perhaps it me but I thought our game against was rags was good.
Still can’t get over Mahrez’s decision to try to lob the keeper when he can play Foden or Kev in for a tap in.

This is absolutely correct.Football should be about spontaneous fun. VAR is about correcting CLEAR AND OBVIOUS mistakes. It's not remotely clear or obvious whether he was offside.

Same.Still can’t get over Mahrez’s decision to try to lob the keeper when he can play Foden or Kev in for a tap in.

That chance for Stones first half on the six yard box, header across (couldn’t see who it was) needed to be cushioned, you know the type, where you stick your head in your neck as far as possible and just let the ball trickle.Five or six crosses right across their 6yd box, nobody anticipating or gambling
I know why he did it and agree with him. But surely even you can see thar Sterling is below the quality we need to stay at the top.
Sterling was the right choice to start but he didn't help himself. The right tactic was to play the ball long towards him, Foden or Jesus, all of whom have pace and would beat van Dijk and Matip. We know Ederson can do that with great accuracy.
Yet so many times, when that ball was potentially on, he was standing a yard offside, effectively playing himself out of the game. Brainless.
That's true.The Wolves game is the one that worries me the most, bastards know how to frustrate teams.
And you think they pressed well?
As for the Pep comment - well close the forum.
