It would be interesting to know how they restarted the game. https://streamja.com/N0ej - restarted with a free kick to Huddersfield! The Cardiff player got a yellow but the Huddersfield player had already held him and pushed him over before their heads came together (can see it on MOTD). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab B Nesbit Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 It turned into a bit of a struggle at Anfield today. Liverpool deserved to take the lead and it looked like another comfortable win would follow but Brighton hung in there and could have snatched a point. Liverpool haven’t conceded at home in the Premier League for over 6 months though, or at all this season and 1 goal was enough. 3 wins out of 3 and top of the (very) early league table. It has been a good start . Roll on Leicester away and an early start next Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 That incident was to me a classic example of how they're using VAR wrongly. We get all those hold ups as the ref goes to see the incident on a screen because he supposedly has to see what happened as he must always have the final decision. However, when VARless, he's fine with taking the word of his lineman when he didn't see the incident, like this one where he had his back to it, and acting accordingly. Can't really see the difference between that and a video assistant telling him in his ear what action to take as he hadn't seen an incident. Just take his word and get on with it, no faffing around with pitchside screens needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing stopping that from happening, it's up to the referee whether he goes for an on-field review or not. For offside decisions or off the ball incidents then there's no need - but for things that the referee has already seen (e.g. where he's given a yellow but VAR thinks it should be red) or a less clear cut off the ball incidents then the referee might want to see the replay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. The should just listen to the guy with the better view and get on with it though imho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Obviously it's working for them at the moment, but the goalkeepers on display today were brutal. Foster isn't a patch on Gomes IMO and Hennessey is the worst keeper in the league, have Palace not just signed a keeper from La Liga?!

To be fair to Hennessy he was very good at the end of last season and also played pretty well in the first 2 games this season. I don`t particularly rate him but can understand why Hodgson has kept faith with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
