Wolves are the best team below the big-6 imo, even in the league game vs Liverpool they could have gotten a better result if they were more effective at the final 3rd of the pitch. They just don't seem to be consistent vs the lower-tier teams

wolves has some very good players but they also have a pretty 'new' team. It's just the type of team that ends up being inconsistent but with a really high peak level, and one that often shines against top teams.

And given the nature of their roster its no surprise because its somewhat characteristic of teams from the peninsula now that I think about.

Yo pande. Remember when I often ranted on how bad Barkley is despite scoring some goals. Are you still not convinced after half a season lol

That was his worst game no question, but in the defensive phase he is switched on and that is why he gets picked right now. His passing is short of confidence it must be, he just is waiting that split second to long and had a nightmare yesterday. He defo has the ability but if Kovacic can stay fit you would think he would be playing there more than him right now.

Barella and Parades be good replacements though. Think Barkley has another level or two in him though.

Oh if you want a laugh by the way, English use of VAR is abysmal again following on from being crap last season again hindering chelsea i might add. This decision was called ONSIDE, which resulted in Kane getting a penalty and Spurs winning first leg 1-0.

Tough call. You're translating a 3d situation into a 2d image, on which you draw a line. I'd say only Kane's hand/arm is over that line, and that makes him onside...

I don't think it's a clear and obvious error in either case (except maybe to biased Chelsea fans).

Yeah to me it looks like Kane's head and right Chelsea wingback his heel are even. At first glance though it looks like Kane is offside, but on a second look, it's very unclear that he is.

When in doubt, decisions like this should go to the attacking team, as it stands in the rulebook.

Here's another angle (at 50 seconds) that argues Kane being onside:

.

I don't think you can say for sure unless there's a camera right on the actual line. Or bird eye perspective or something.

Bundesliga uses an automated system that determines offside as a simple yes/no decision, this malfunctioned once during the first day usage (and was not used in any game because of the failure) and has worked without flaws since.
Meanwhile the FA doesn't explain what system they use and offers one grainy angle that is not conclusive at all and then Sarri comes in with another grainy picture that isn't a conclusive angle either. And considering that he did this in front of press and it is essentially the same thing as calling the ref a failure if he gets fined it is going to further feed into the annoying chelsea persecution complex.

As much as I respect the assistant referees, offisides are indeed supposed to be a binary and conclusive yes/no questions rather than something up to interpretation. In that sense automated system could do the job and do it up to perfection.

Any idea how the automated system copes with stuff like the passive offside rules, weird bounces and all that? Is that still up for the ref to decide?

Yup those would still be judgment calls. If you have a passively offside player possibly interfering the system would be determined if there is an offside position in the first place and then the VAR and likely the referee himself would look at it to determine if it was enough for active offside or not.

Need to include a clause where if/when he joins he is no longer considered for the USMNT.

Ok with that being said on the decision, the linesman flag goes up and he calls it offside. Chelsea players STOP and point to the official and then Kane is brought down by the goalkeeper.

Surely then the decision should be to stick with the onfield call as it is "to hard to tell" onside/offside which was in fact deemed offside by the official.

Using chelsea defenders stupidity to not play through the whistle as an argument is just silly. The referee followed the rules to let play go on in a tight decision and immediately consulted VAR.

There was no onfield call because it wasn't the NFL where that part matters. Also we saw 2 angles, one that looked like it was onside, sarri with the one that showed offside. Benefit of the doubt goes to the attacker = no offside was the correct call

You are kidding right ? What are players doing looking at the linesman in that situation ? Play to the whistle ?

I would respectfully suggest that we keep these sorts of conversations private before peoples sensibilities and opinions start getting out of hand.

These conversations never end well and I dont know what Stealth was trying to achieve by sharing it. But nothing good will come of this discussion.

Whistle is blown when referee notices flag which coincides with the foul that happens. The flag goes up, why would you continue to run knowing flag is up for offside? xD
