I think that it is fair to say that at this point VAR is as useless as Hazard.

I'm starting to think VAR is encouraging more diving, all the players have to do is fool the person up in the booth. Not hard to fool the Ref on the field anyways.

Well, if fooling the ref on the pitch is easy and it's harder to fool the VAR, doesn't that show that it has a purpose? Imo, the biggest problem with the VAR currently is that people expect it to be 100% correct, while for it to have value all it needs to be is better than the ref.

I can't believe Liverpool came back and won that game last night. I also can't believe I feel asleap between their equalisers and the winner. That's such a small time window. How did I manage that? Anyway strong resolute perfomance from both them and CIty on what were looking like difficult games.

Hazard carried Chelsea last season. It's kind of crazy to see him struggle.

Must not be that difficult considering this weekend alone...

This weekend was crazy, lol.

Barça 1-3, Bayern 1-5, PSG defeat. Both Atleti and Real Madrid draws. MCity and Liverpool with lucky victories at the end of the match. That 8-0 for leipzig. Arsenal draw is not a surprise, Emery can't be defended anymore.

And I don't know what to think about VAR anymore. In both Chelsea vs Watford and Atleti vs Sevilla the calls were so bad that it hurt my brain.

Leicester defensively solid and look good going forward. With Arsenal, United and Spurs shitting the bed I would be surprised if Leicester don’t stay top 4.

They trying to argue it wasn't a red for son, but he was never winning the ball and the result at the end is a broken leg for Gomes so...i don't mind the red, Son misses 1-3 games but Gomes is not playing again for 6-12 months depending on how bad it is.

i could see the argument because without the injury he was going to get the yellow and the injury was the result of the way Gomes fell with Aurier on top of him and not directly from Son's challenge, but I think it would be unlikely for it to be overturned because of the result of what happened

looking at the reaction the players have when they go to check on gomes, it's like they all just jump back from how terrible the injury is.

I don't know about the red card but it doesn't really matter.

1-5 for Frankfurt was too much, Kovac got fired.

No real surprise there I guess.
Edit: Although to me, as someone who has only watched one game of theirs this season - the 7-2 away win vs Tottenham, I'm a bit surprised that they've had such a poor start.

What are the chances Mourhino would be hired at Bayern? Doesn't he practically know all the players on the roster?

I think Mourinho will be suggested in every high tier vacancy right now and it'll rarely be a bad guess.

My gut instinct says that Mourinho could be better at some slight underdog where he can draw from the Porto success more. The rigid and conservative giants don't seem to be working out for him at all. In that sense he might be better at Dortmund than at Bayern in current state of mind.

I'm a bit surprised if Bayern don't have some successor in mind already. While the results haven't been ideal, I don't think they've been spiraling out of control so badly that they absolutely had to force a move this very second unless they felt like they had an upgrade available. Maybe it's Mourinho or maybe it's some of the usual suspects in Bayern management rumors.

Mourinho def seems like a good suggestion, sorta hinted at it in his recent ladbrokes commercial.

Bayern had to get rid of kovac because he embarrassed Bayern in the Bundesliga. Bayern is not a team that plays in Germany away and loses 5-1
