It depends on us scoring early. If we do, we’ll get every dodgy decision going claiming it evens itself out. If it’s still level at 60 minutes, yes, watch out for cheating.You can bet a large sum of dosh that the first time they go down in our box it will be a penalty. VAR will agree.
If we draw or worse,get beat, and VAR has had another hand in it, there will be some serious questions asked no doubt.
Great to see a bit of cheerfullness creeping out but not sure I am looking forward to it. For me the football is secondary now to VAR and the enjoyment levels are plummeting.Really looking forward to this one. Nice and sunny weather predicted, decent home support and a ground we have historically done very well at.
Rodri looks more used to getting pressed quickly than anybody. I don't understand why people keep acting like he joined us from the Belgian or Dutch league or something.He hasn't played on a small ground yet so I suppose you could argue he may be pressed too quickly for what he's been used to but we don't know.
Fernandinho may be more used to our League but he's 34, coming off the back of a summer tournament with his country. He's not played any preseason games or had any minutes at all yet.
I think Rodri is improving fast and I was mightily impressed with his performance against Spurs. Apart from Esteemed Kompany I'm surprised it appears no one else is.
If Zinchenko is injured then Angelino must start.
Its hard to tell him you are 4th choice LB.
Criminally underappreciated.five is right out...
I can see us getting a VAR decision in this one as we coast to an easy comfy win so all the head in the cloud fans / media can point and say......'it evens out over a season'.Can see it now. Var to correctly deny us points, people ignore that it’s the correct call and causes an absolute meltdown on here with enough conspiracy claims to rid the world of tin foil for the next decade. Elsewhere, salah falls over gets a match winning penalty and var doesn’t overturn it.
