I am suggesting that such gaffes at the back presenting Liverpool with a bit of a points lead may well cost City at the other end of the season. Time will tell.

Wanderlust Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 12 hours ago, Casino said: Didn't they have about 3 shots to every Norwich one A massive possession and corner advantage, too I reckon theres no crisis, just yet They did and they scored twice but I have a cunning theory about that which goes along the lines of City having quick but slightly diminutive strikers who do well against big strapping CBs, but as all four of Norwich's CBs were out injured they were forced in to drafting two combatative midfielders as CBs and these lads, Amadou especially, are very quick and mobile themselves and used to scrapping for possession - which they did really well, even though it was like the Alamo at times. It was notable that the two goals City did get were a cross/header and a shot through the crowd from distance - not your usual playing through defences/tap ins. I was left wondering if other teams might use that as a tactic against City? The issue being if you manage to restrict them to two goals by nullifying their passing game, you still have to score 3 at the other end.

birch-chorley Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Was just thinking about MND after seeing a piece on this fella Is it just coincidence or does it seem to impact footballers more than other well known people?

Wanderlust Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I love VAR. Problem is the people interpreting "the truth" have problems with it when it's a close call, the rules are a bit dodgy, the technology can be improved further and the lack of communication between the ref(s) and the fans whilst the decision is being made is piss poor compared to say American Football. VAR is young in it's development but it can only get better, but for the vast majority of decisions it already works fine. Certainly a damned sight better than depending on the ref's eyesight and we should know given our history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're going to use it then use it properly That penalty Napoli got v Liverpool was never a penalty but VAR gave it as it wasnt a clear and obvious error Course it was, he dived. On the flip side spurs goal that was disallowed was incredibly marginal that would never have been spotted with the naked eye If it can be used to pick out the latter why not the former?

Roger_Dubuis Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I think Sam left us with a better front 6 than Manchester United had out today.They are four £75 million players behind Liverpool and City and despite getting 20,000 more fans every home game don't have owners who will spend the money.
