MAN UTD, ARSENAL, LiVERPOOL, MAN CiTY, AC MilAn , MADRID...etc

Premier league should at least be interesting this year..... City showed us they can make mistakes and Spurs actually fought back

Now VAR ????? If they KEEP enforcing the WRITTEN rules all season , then play on....

 

There will be some growing pains with the var... But if they stick with it and put good people in charge of it, meaning good refs, it has everything to make things better. But only if they have the right people doing it.

 

VAR is a joke so far. I am in no way a supporter of Man U and can't stand them but good grief the refs missed a penalty. Of course Pogba would miss the PK so maybe that's why it wasn't given. Every weekend so far something is completely botched. I hope that it doesn't cost any club a game. @Cativelense yes I agree it will make things better and there will be growing pains. The ones in charge of it now are terrible IMO.

Liverpool/Arsenal should be a great match.

Come on you REDMEN! YNWA!

 

VAR missed a penalty yesterday as well in the Man City game. Lord knows I can't stand City but they did have a clear penalty and VAR didn't even review it. I'm so confused as to what they look at and what they don't. Apparently they were looking at a possible Red Card in the Liverpool match as well. Something to do with Salah being stepped on but they never elaborated. I have no idea what they are doing and I don't think they do either.

 

Good morning lads. Life long LFC supporter...hope you don't hold that against me! YNWA

 

Would never hold that against you mate! Walk on, walk on. LFC supporter also. YNWA


So guys seriously what is the point of VAR? They only use it when they want to, not when they need to. It's garbage.

 

Cheers, pal! Don’t get to say I’m a fan that often. I coach for Bayern Munich youth out here in LA. All my gear is Bayern and they seriously frown on us wearing anything else.

VAR is a tough topic. The game is so hard to score goals in so they wanted to make close calls more accurate but they’ve bollocked it all up.
Interesting fact: all matches for Liverpool and City were reviewed from last season and it was determined the Liverpool would have won the league had VAR been used.... gonna have to be a love/hate relationship I think.

 

I believe so! It was a clear penalty in our match this morning on Matip. Clear and it wasn't even reviewed. It didn't change the result but what if the result was a draw and not 3 points? Throughout the year these little things can make a big difference if any club is dropping points because of bad decisions.

That is cool you coach for Bayern Youth. I received my E license for coaching years ago here in Alabama but I don't coach anymore and that's as far as I progressed....the first course

I'll keep it a secret a fellow Red is wearing a different crest upon his shirt

 

Well Napoli sure know how to whine to the Referee. NO fouls being called against Napoli. It's all to Liverpool. That's ok. You get Anfield next!

 

It's a good game so far. That's the one I'm watching as well.

 

Bunch of sissy actors. Not football players. Ridiculous.

 

Mane blew that 2 on 1 a while ago... held the ball loo long instead of playing it through to Salah sooner.

 

It has been a good contest. I just wish these calls were 50/50. This ref is awful

 

Agree 100%

 

always a good match against Napoli. They have a lot of heart. Whining is just the Serie A/L Liga way isn't it? Every match ending in handbags.

Christ Adrian was an excellent signing

 

Adrian definitely kept it level. What a save it was. I think both clubs have been sloppy at times and brilliant at times.

Edit: Actually 3 saves

 

Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. Gifted that penalty

Edit: Some people are just vicious. Andy Robertson had to deactivate his twitter account due to abuse. These so called "fans" are not fans at all. I didn't think he played any worse than anybody else on the pitch.

Overall it was a really sloppy match on both sides. That kept it pretty even until the penalty call then after that it was over. It's just the group stage, yes, but I'll argue that the penalty call was absolute garbage until I'm blue in the face. Lets say it was a penalty, if so, then the pull on Salah from behind in the box during the first half was definitely a penalty. Hope the next group match we can finish an attack and defend a bit better. This would all be a mute point had the front three been a little better at finishing. Off days happen and I'm beginning to really dislike Napoli Ha!

 

Let's liven up this party a bit, shall we??

UCL back tomorrow.

Also, River vs Boca in the Libertadores tomorrow night. WOW

 

real madrid getting smacked in the mouth by Brugge.

 

They ended up tying it up... but still.
