Fabinho and Matip both returned to full training today: coped remarkably well without those 2 (especially Fabinho). As well as we tend to do vs top teams, it's hard not to be worried about this one, given our growing (again) injury list.
hahaha. here's the facts, lad .... you lot have gained more from VAR decisions than we have. https://talksport.com/football/648935/wolves-sheffield-united-var-var-premier-league/ https://talksport.com/football/648917/have-liverpool-lucky-var-decisions-premier-league/ Brighton – VAR decisions for = 7/VAR decisions against = 2 Overall +5 The Seagulls top the lot when it comes to decisions going in their favour.Graham Potter’s men have seen four opponents have goals disallowed for offside, while Leicester were forced to retake a penalty and Aston Villa saw a strike chalked off for a foul. Brighton were also given a penalty, scored by Neal Maupay against Everton. Southampton – VAR decisions for = 5/VAR decisions against = 1 Overall +4 The Saints may have had Ryan Bertrand sent off against Leicester thanks to VAR but that’s the only decision not to go their way.Sheffield United, Bournemouth, Wolves, West Ham, and Crystal Palace have all had strikes cancelled out against Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side. Manchester United – VAR decisions for = 4/VAR decisions against = 1 Overall +3 Their first VAR encounter saw Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang given a goal against them but the last four times used it has gone their way. They saw Sadio Mane have a goal disallowed, while they have been given three penalties – but only scored one of them. Bournemouth – VAR decisions for = 3/VAR decisions against = 1 Overall +2 The Cherries have been handed two reprieves this season with two goals chalked off but then given after the Video Assistant Referee’s intervention.They also saw Brighton have Dan Burn’s goal cancelled at the weekend. Leicester – VAR decisions for = 5/VAR decisions against = 3 Overall +2 The Foxes have found technology going for them five times with Wolves, Tottenham, and Burnley having goals against them ruled out.Kelechi Iheanacho had a goal given despite originally being called offside, while Ryan Bertrand was sent off against them in their 9-0 win over Southampton. Liverpool – VAR decisions for = 4/VAR decisions against = 2 Overall +2 Prior to their game with Wolves, the Reds had actually only seen two decisions go directly in their favour – disallowed goals for Chelsea and Crystal Palace. Mane’s allowed goal on Sunday and Neto’s cancelled effort take their tally to four decisions in their favour. Newcastle – VAR decisions for = 1 / VAR decisions against = 0 Overall +1 The Video Assistant Referee has only made one intervention in a Newcastle game and it gave them Jonjo Shelvey’s strike against Sheffield United. Watford – VAR decisions for = 2 / VAR decisions against = 1 Overall +1 The Hornets have felt aggrieved some decisions had not been overturned this season, including a possible penalty against Tottenham. Still, it gave them one against Chelsea and chalked off a Liverpool goal when Sadio Mane was ruled to be offside. Crystal Palace – VAR decisions for = 3/VAR decisions against = 2 Overall +1 Roy Hodgson and his men were given a goal against West Ham having seen it disallowed first of all.Against Arsenal they profited twice when they were given a penalty after Wilfried Zaha was originally adjudged to have dived, while the Gunners had a goal taken away from them later on. Burnley – VAR decisions for = 3/VAR decisions against = 2 Overall +1 VAR has helped the Clarets in many ways this campaign.Aston Villa had a goal taken off for offside, Chelsea saw a given penalty overturned for a dive by Callum Hudson-Odoi, while they were given a spot-kick of their own against Watford by technology. Man City – VAR decisions for = 4/VAR decisions against = 3 Overall +1 Recently City have had VAR help them as it gave them their penalty against Wolves, while allowing them to retake it due to encroachment after Raheem Sterling’s miss.It also disallowed a Lys Mousset goal against Sheffield United, and earlier in the campaign allowed Sergio Aguero to retake a penalty against West Ham. Tottenham – VAR decisions for = 5/VAR decisions against = 4 Overall +1 Spurs have had quite the season with VAR.Early on they drew with Man City after Gabriel Jesus’ goal was disallowed for a handball in the build-up, sparking jubilant scenes.Since then it’s been a love-hate relationship but in their defeat to Leicester they saw Ayoze Perez’s goal chalked off and later in the campaign David McGoldrick’s effort for Sheffield United was cancelled out for offside.West Ham’s Declan Rice also had a goal disallowed, as well as Pukki at the weekend. ======================== Wolves – VAR decisions for = 0 / VAR decisions against = 6 Overall -6 So far this campaign Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have not had a single VAR decision go in their favour during a match. Sheffield United – VAR decisions for = 1 / VAR decisions against = 7 Overall -6 The only call by technology in the Blades’ direction this season was when Chris Basham had a red card rescinded against Norwich at the start of December. Norwich City – VAR decisions for = 1/VAR decisions against = 5 Overall -4 The Canaries saw Chelsea have a goal disallowed for a foul back in August but since then another five interventions have gone against them. West Ham – VAR decisions for = 3/VAR decisions against = 6 Overall -3 The Hammers have seen VAR help them on three occasions.Technology wiped out goals for Man City, Brighton and Burnley with all being ruled offside after a check. Chelsea – VAR decisions for = 3/VAR decisions against = 5 Overall -2 Against Tottenham, the Blues had two huge decisions go their way as they were given a penalty and saw Heung-Min Son sent off for a kick out at Antonio Rudiger.The only other call which has gone their way was when West Ham’s Michail Antonio had a goal ruled out for handball Everton – VAR decisions for = 1/VAR decisions against = 2 Overall -1 The Toffees’ one VAR call in their favour hasn’t even been a goal. It did though get a penalty for Leicester City cancelled after Mason Holgate was initially believed to have fouled Ben Chilwell. Aston Villa – VAR decisions for = 1/VAR decisions against = 2 Overall -1 Sadly for the Villans, the one time VAR did hand them a decision the resulting penalty was missed by Jack Grealish against Sheffield United. Arsenal – VAR decisions for = 2/VAR decisions against = 3 Overall -1 The Gunners haven’t had too much go for them when it comes to VAR.They saw it give them Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goal against Manchester United after it was initially ruled out.Meanwhile, against Norwich, they were allowed to retake a missed penalty due to encroachment.Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw his goal against Manchester United given after VAR got involved
That list conveniently leaves off times when VAR should have been used but wasnt, like a recent game where Robertson should have been off.
You Muppets actually read that??? Damn @SamScouse should be banned for 24 hours for posting that drivel.
Ten fingers firmly grip the PL trophy. Let us make the Suarez-loving scouse pay for their insolence by defeating them on Sunday.
Dont ask me why, but looked into this. Makes no sense. First problem after 21 games pool have 61 and city would have 44, thats 17 pts? Pool lose 2pts against palace and city gain five, that would still be 10 pts? Also how can they assume that if the Rashford penalty was not given city win that game? United were leading 2-0. It also claims united benifited twice pool and city. Therefore Liverpool win the united game instead of a draw so would have the exact same pts as now. Silly waste of time. It is what it is
Travelling squad for tomorrow: De Gea, Romero, Grant, Jones, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Williams, Bailly, Maguire, Dalot, Shaw, Lingard, Matic, Fred, AP, Gomes, Mata, Chong, James, Martial, Greenwood. Rashford didn't recover in time by the looks of it.
