Just watched this and it's probably the best analysis of the game and why we didn't break Liverpool down even with them down to 9 men.

It was driving me made all second half that kulusevski didn’t take them on and whip the ball in with his right foot.

it was 8 men according to Klopp. And the goalkeeper. He was very insistent it was down to 9 outfield players then down to 8 Just another margin he uses to get maximum impact.

Unless there's a way of making it 100% effective as it is expected and supposed to be, it's just amplifying the usual tedious complaints about officiating - which have always existed - to ridiculously hysterical levels. Creating a bigger problem than the one that existed before.

Teams got screwed before by cretins, they're still screwed now by cretins but now with added incredulity.

If they could implement it like they do in rugby then it's doable but what are the chances of that? Minimal IMO after a lifetime of watching football and those involved with it.
Agree mate it’s just intensified and made normal human error into a huge issue. Everything has to be ‘perfect’ now 🥱

The more I see this challenge the worse it gets, I'm actually baffled it's being debated so much.
It made me wince in normal speed. 1/2 speed, slow-mo, every angle and speed that’s a leg breaking challenge.

It’s only because bloody Gary Neville on his stupid commentary said he didn’t think it was a red that some people were influenced that way, show that to 100 football fans and about 90-100 of them will tell you that is a red whether Curtin perm Jones meant it or not.

Nobody is wailing about it in the replies. Says it all. The red cards are not debatable IMO. Naturally they're trying to be snide and get them mixed I with the atrocious VAR cockup but eh

Needs extra games for that tbh. The very definition of reckless

I’d wager not a single fan of any club anywhere in the world who seeing that foul tackle on one of their players wouldn’t quite rightly demand and expect a red as a result.

Absolutely including Liverpool.

Why does anybody take Neville seriously? On Saturday during commentary he said that Diaz was off side; suggesting he’d spotted something that the main commentator had missed. He’s a fraud and knob of the highest order.

The discussion was all fairly sensible on MNF. Hopefully the PGMOL kick this into the long grass. I’d be amazed if they release the audio as they’d have to do it going forward for every match where a club was unhappy with a decision.

He used to be a good commentator / pundit, since Man.U have become a mess his opinions on Tv are emotional and frankly bizzare.

VAR should work. There should be competent people operating it with very minimal room for error.

Anyone could have said that Diaz was onside. I honestly don't get why football cannot do what rugby does effortlessly.

This outcry has gone on far too long. They're pathetic.

where is the Luton thread? I'm ready to focus on potentially going top of the league for a few hours

Yeah I noticed that on the sky highlights, he said ‘Diaz looks just offside from here’.

I’ll be astonished if this isn’t spoken about on the Refs programme tomorrow night. We’ll likely get to hear the audio and Webb will explain exactly what the mistake was. The transparency will put to bed all the silly bribery rumours and all the talk of agendas and just show that it was the most basic of cock ups. A significant cock up sure, but the moving parts involved in this are pretty basic. One man thought they’d given the goal, another thought they’d disallowed it.

Liverpool will need to put their big boy pants on and get over it.

The guys at Stockley Park made an error in understanding what the on -field decision was. As far as we know that has never led to such a mistake before. It is a one off. To stop it happening again they should do what they do in cricket when there is a review one of the first things you hear the third umpire say is "review for lbw on field decision is out / not out"

Over the years VAR will have corrected many offside decisions leading to a goal, and as such it is an improvement.

Move on.
Same as rugby.

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the response also include something along the lines of "Agreed, award the try" or "there was an infringement, no try", for clarity as well?
