Nothing worse than seeing a potential good break be hauled back because someone had a lock of curly hair out of place as it ruins the flow of the game but we have seen more calls for marginal decisions preventing the free flowing football than the other way round so not sure what it is they are trying to achieve..

A player offside does not get flagged for it even though he is clearly offside then runs towards goal, passes to a team mate then runs into space to head the return cross in is using the part of the body that was actually offside.. as Cicero said, could come off his chest or upper arm and still go in... to claim one half of the body does not count is just crazy talk..

Guest Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 @Marc poccentino never said he was against VAR he just said it needed work. In fact he said he supported the game moving forward. Don't know what Sarri said in full but all I heard him say was the English officials needed more time to get use to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc 570 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The law does not mention anything about parts of the body you can score with. Some people just interpret it that way. Quote 1. Offside position It is not an offence to be in an offside position. A player is in an offside position if: • any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and • any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered. A player is not in an offside position if level with the: • second-last opponent or • last two opponents Also, benefit of the doubt to the attacker is incorrect or a myth. @Gunnersauraus he said word for word 'I don't like VAR' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to have a decent debate about was he or wasn't he etc.. lifes unfair etc.. the correct use of VAR is going to make things very boring in the future.. "Did you see that!!!

Kyletoonfan 24 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 He was onside for me. Anyways regardless Chelsea have to look at themselves. They'll be dissapppointed and frustrated to concede a goal like that it was poor defending. Excellent run from Kane though and it was rash from Kepa. Chelsea may have dominated the possession and territory but Tottenham didn't mind that they looked comfortable in defence for long periods. Only when Christianson got in at the back post from a corner did I feel Chelsea could score. The rest of the time Spurs kept them at arms length. Giroud should have came on earlier. My only criticism of Sarri he ain't flexible it's always 4-3-3 and like for like subs sometimes you have to change your formation unfortunately it doesn't look like he will.

True Blue 971 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 15 hours ago, Cicero said: Couldn't disagree more. Only Liverpool have conceded fewer goals than us in the league. Our ability to retain the ball diminishes the opposition's chances at our goal. Who orchestrates it? Jorginho Only Man City have created more chances than us in the league. Our possession play has allowed us to have more time on the ball to create chances in the third. Who orchestrates it? Jorginho. Calling him useless is just wrong. Busquets received much of the same criticism, majority of which from premier league fans as there always seems to be a fixation on stats. It only took several years for people to realise how important Busquets really is to how the team functions as a whole. My issue is what's ahead of Jorginho. Like I said, we create loads of chances. Our finishing is just terrible. When we have two incompetent strikers in Giroud and Morata. Willian who has less goals than Kante in the league. And Pedro who is more cold than hot, to blame Jorginho as the main issue to why we aren't scoring goals just couldn't be more wrong. I usually agree with you on 99% of topics, i just can't accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
