Premier League

This rule is genuinely terrible. Feel like it could easily be manipulated with players deliberately hitting the arms of others to gain an advantage if that is allowed.

Some of the decisions I have seen: hit against a hand from 1 yard with a full force shot...how can you get out of the way?

I've watched more football in the last five days than the last two or three seasons so it's the first time I've really seen VAR. I couldn't believe Everton got the penalty yesterday. DCL had one that hit his hand in the second half, after his chest, but was clearly 'intending' to block the ball. Whereas Joel Ward's hand just seemed to end up in the same place as the ball through natural body movement. It's the dumbest thing I've seen in sport for some time.

Apparently (according to Tyldesley on Amazon) the lawmakers have determined what intent is. They should share this mind reading tool with the criminal justice system.

Isn't the rule supposed to be that it is a foul no matter what intent it is these days? Newcastle were blatantly looking for handball scenarios in the last ten minutes of the game yesterday.

This is the thing: players are not shooting at the goal anymore but at other players in the hope of hitting a hand...its killing football and it is madness. Same with he millimeter offsides...get rid of it. VAR was supposed to be there to help in cutting out obvious mistakes just like DRS in cricket but it has become a tool, a tactic, a scam.

I doubt they will have a challenge again this season. Liverpool will bag this very easily, unfortunately.

Manchester City with Ruben Dias finally fixing that defence could be a serious contender IMO. Need to get back their killer instinct though.

Maguire......dear oh dear oh dear.......

 

[Dutch]

Defensively Man U are completely and utterly lost!

[Dutch]

Mourinho must be utterly loving this! 3 -1


Man U could get relegated like this!

 

[Dutch]

4-1 utter annihilation


are the OSG wheels finally exposing themselves and coming off?

Team is just not performing at all and looks lost as does he himself....no passion no tactical awareness....slow ponderous back line......

And united are looking at Sancho and Cavanni,surely defenders are needed most.Can't see Ole getting away with this one.
