But he is saying var is used differently in Europe. Surely a) to assist those English teams playing in Europe and b) to avoid controversy, it should be applied the same wherever.Like all managers who perceive that have had a decision go against his side, he’s criticised the system.
The system which overturned an incorrect decision correctly.
If VAR was blatantly corrupt, there’d be no debate. Everybody would be on the same page.
VAR has stopped offsides that are 3 yards offside, but the debate where there is centimetres in it rages on, either because of poor equipment or subjectivity.
VAR has made the game more factually correct. What it can’t do is make every decision correct.
Some, as a result want VAR scrapped because if this and the inability to spontaneously celebrate, others want VAR to adapt and improve on technology, implementation and communication.
Some even have stopped watching football, barring city, as a result of VAR coming in, although they all seem up to date on every VAR controversy.
Laws have always been interpreted differently in different countries.But he is saying var is used differently in Europe. Surely a) to assist those English teams playing in Europe and b) to avoid controversy, it should be applied the same wherever.
Handball is or should be a law governed by FIFA. Offside should be the same wherever you are playing.
But they may find it dubious when a team leading 2-1—but is increasingly defending opposition attacks—has a marginal VAR decision that puts them 3-1 ahead against the run of play.Which is fine, but this is what VAR actually changed last season.
Even the harshest VAR critic isn’t going to howl at the moon about a decision that changed a result from 5-0 to 6-0.
I can think of that happening once, and it involved Liverpool at Palace last season.But they may find it dubious when a team leading 2-1—but is increasingly defending opposition attacks—has a marginal VAR decision that puts them 3-1 ahead against the run of play.
That is not a decision that is incorporated in the analysis you referenced. And there are many more scenarios that would influence the outcomes of matches that are not included in that methodology.
Those tend to me more propaganda than real data analysis. That’s ignoring the issue with limited data universe and how the data is collected and categorised in the first place.
Alan the bit in bold - no that's not the case I have not commented on my views or his views, I commented on the fact that he will not accept anyone else's view on this. I am not sure what you are trying to get across to me here. For your information, I have posted before, VAR is a great tool, being run by great tools. But that is not my issue here, my issue is the confrontational approach he takes and to be honest the same tone you have taken here?Aren’t you not accepting that he has a contrary view to you though?

There are other types of decisions that would influence a match that aren’t included in those types of simplistic analysis.I can think of that happening once, and it involved Liverpool at Palace last season.
There will be other examples, I’m sure, but probably less than 10 a season.
The list I posted where VAR directly changed the results in games, although most of those games would have had more time for the other team to change the result.
I don’t see him as confrontational. He’s glass half full and most are glass half empty on VAR.Alan the bit in bold - no that's not the case I have not commented on my views or his views, I commented on the fact that he will not accept anyone else's view on this.

This begs the question as to why nobody has done a detailed analysis of the system then; especially given data analysts deem it to be corrupt. They could be deemed the saviours of football should their evidence stack up in that favour.There are other types of decisions that would influence a match that aren’t included in those types of simplistic analysis.
I am only trying to explain, as someone who has quite a bit of training and experience in data analysis, why the sort you referenced are highly dubious and wouldn’t be taken seriously in my field. They would be laughed off as a grammar school project, to be frank.
Absolutely impossible to prove.It’s not true though. Here’s how VAR altered points last season.
