VAR might be called on a few more times in the juve game if they are all going to start to fall over in the box...

Solskjaer looks like a little boy who lied about his height to get on the ghost train, and now he's scared the dip is coming

Yep it’s the major disadvantage. I completely forgot about it during the celebrations though. It’s not set up with any care for supporters in the stadium.

Yeah if you're in the stadium you probably wouldn't even be able to see why a goal may be disallowed so it would be even more confusing.

It's when it gets to things like what they were checking in the Juve/Ajax game. For the Ajax goal there was a question of offside but then during the review they said they were also checking for an alleged handball in the build up as well, so like how far back are they checking? It's gonna be annoying if they're to check for little niggly fouls or handballs and such in the build up as well as other things.

It’s panic stations in the United defence whenever Messi has the ball near the United goal.

I actually like OGS but the squad itself is shit and needs major surgery. It will need more than 200m and more than a window or two...

Poch would have been mad to go there... Not that he was going to go

Took ages as well to confirm the Juve goal even though there was nothing close to an infringement. It needs to be for clear, obvious errors. If you need to watch a slow-motion replay ten times over a few minutes then it's essentially a 50/50 call and the original decision should stand. It needs to be used only on the rare occasion, not with every other goal.

They need patio doors...a window isn't big enough.....big problems there.

United look like a classic case of a team that has imprints of various different managers over it.
That defence of Smalling, Jones and Young is not fit for purpose. Only Shaw looks worth persevering with.
Hate to say it but surely they will come in for Toby and activate his clause in the summer.
