Most folk are when they have a face like a smashed crab.
we cant have VAR making all the calls , we would need shifts to watch a complete game each half would take 8hours , so Refs can only give what they see , as for our first goal he saw the ball go left away from goal so he believed the liverpool player kicked it that way , if the linesman was on that side (old school term) he may have signaled goal kick , so swings and roundabouts , also didnt see the defender protest to much

Football lawmakers (IFAB) are reportedly considering increasing VAR's powers which include corners.
They are open to discussion on this matter.

IFAB are considering 'goal line Technology' for all the base line so corners can be correct, not to give VAR jurisdiction. They are however, seriously considering using VAR for 'cautionable' offences, which will be trialled in various Junior Leagues as from 6th Jan.
Oh dear! I was hoping for VAR's efforts to be reduced! More instantaneous football and less unwanted bureaucracy, load of pedantic meddlers.

Here's the trialling of another 'innovation' from FIFA/IFAB . . . the 'Green Card'. Some of you have already said about wanting coaches/bench to challenge ref's calls &/or VAR, well with this you can(ish) It's being trialled in Chile for the U20's World Cup & coaches are only allowed to use it twice per game . . .
Oh my goodness!
Impervious or what. As ST wrote: No corner no goal.
Your splitting hairs, old boy.
Football is becoming more and more like its american counterpart...

Trump will not be happy with more green cards being handed out.
Absolutely. I've been thinking - and saying - the same thing for years. One has to wonder whether the authorities understand English. Perhaps this definition from Oxford Languages will help: Obvious: easily perceived or understood, clear, self-evident.

When Mateta went one on one with Alison I had no confidence he would score 🙊
He's had a good few one on ones this season and hasn't put them away.

He should have squared it to be fair, but I never tend to blame good strikers for being greedy.

That's fair. I'm sure once one goes in a few more will follow. He seems better when he doesn't have time on the ball and has to think.

We hit the post a couple of times and the bar, hopefully we've been working on our finishing. I thought the Mateta long shot was going in off the inside of the post. That would have been brilliant.
I posted before how Nketiah hit it at Alisson but I guess going through his legs evened things out.

I've got a theory on Eddie although not the most supportive... when we signed him my best school mate an Arsenal fan said, although he had real promise at Arsenal he was a bit goal shy... having watched him I think I probably agree...
The conclusion I have reached is basically Eddie always shoots straight at the keeper. This restricts him to two sort of goals... nutmegs and tap ins (coz the goalie isn't there to aim at). To be honest I blame Arsenal coaching...
This thought first came to me last season in the Palace Ipswich game when Wharton played him through (my nomination for most casual brilliant through ball of the season) and he had it on a plate, 1 on 1 with the keeper and just hit it straight at him.
I dont mean to be down on this and I'm so pleased he scored the winner against st Liverpool, I just haven't seen goals where he's stuck it past the keeper rather than through him...
