You heard it here first. To be fair he was trying to say that United fans don't read the stupid stuff the media write to the journalist asking questions. But since he was making a dumb unnecessary attack on the journalist that to his credit even tried to give Mourniho a chance to go back on hist statement that 'United fans don't read'. I think we can take it out of context and laugh at it. You lost 0:3 at home to a team you traditionally beat. I don't care if you think you should have won the game you didn't. You can't get angry with the media for asking negative questions after you get thrashed. They're hardly going to praise your team even if the performance was OK. You got thrashed. | ||

They weren't mega bad last night but were punished a lot. Spurs in the first half also could have gotten punished if Lukaku can score open goals etc. Mourinho team who cannot defend is not a Mourinho team. Lindelof is not a professional footballer, he is straight up awful. Smalling and Jones together in first half looked "ok" but when Jones went off and Lindelof comes on it was just awful. | ||

To me it looks weird, VAR is a great tool for avoiding critical mistakes. This is the thing that continues to blow me away. There is simply no credible argument against VAR. How often does VAR make the wrong call? I can't even think of a single instance that I've seen in the Bundesliga or World Cup. If it does happen, it's obscenely rare and the amount of corrections that VAR allows makes the mistaken calls completely insignificant. VAR may miss calls or take too long sometimes, but these aren't reasons to not use VAR. These are reasons to improve the process. As it stands, any league with VAR is simply better than a league without by virtue of the fact that the integrity of the game is much, much higher. | ||

It is up to ref to fail anyway. VAR played a key role in correct decision making in a few episodes of La Liga match between Espanyol v Valencia. It is working no doubt -_- | ||

I mean look at this. All three people in front of him are moving towards the exact same space haha. The positional play is just awful. Granted Lindelof should have just played the ball out wide, but when you're down on confidence your field of view becomes rather narrow. | ||

There were several wrong calls in the world cup imo, even after using var, probably something like 5 consequential ones total. But even so there's no question that the frequency is greatly decreased, so I agree with your general point. However it's not gonna make all controversial cases go away. The world cup made me a fan, too. | ||

It didn't help at all that they played Herrera as CB for the first 55 minutes or so. Spurs' 2nd goal was him first him allowing Tottenham play the attack onside and right after failing either to intercept the cross or to block the shot. He's not a natural CB, so it's kind of hard to blame him too much. However, having him there definitely doesn't help at all if your defense is already feeling shaky from bad results and roster and formation changes. | ||

Next two PL games are away vs Burnley and away vs Watford. Watford has been really good so far and Burley might not be a walk over either if last season is anything to go by. | ||

Griezmann simulation leading to a freekick leading to a goal, already two times the VAR fucked up in the most important game of those last 4 years. Also Griezmann penalty against Australia. Nîmes Marseille, Guinguamp PSG and I've barely watched any ligue 1 game since the start of the season. It's slowing down the game a ton, it leads to anticlimatic goals, it's ruining the fun. It's very very far from being black and white as you describe it. I was initially in favor of VAR but the more I see it in action, the less I like it. I'm willing to give it a few years of refinement but I hope the governing bodies will at least take the time to properly assess if it's worth keeping or not. If it were to stay as it is right now, it would be a big no for a lot of football fans. | ||
