      Nice to see Ox scoring for you, is that his first since returning form injury?

        Getting a bit impressive now, in my biased opinion, but none the less we played a top team today, and lamps faced a top coach, and both the team and lamps come out of this with huge credit.

        Subs changed the game, and Azpilicueta was out of this world tonight.

          Makes a lot of sense to me.

          Like I have said, when you take offsides and handball out of the equation (and they only come under VAR if happen in build up to goal anyway) we are not necessarily getting better decisions. We are still relying on the ref on the field like we were before as VAR will not over rule, so how could that possibly lead to better decision making, it is a non argument.

          Like Hackett says, ultimately VAR needs to be stronger in telling the ref he could have made an error so that he can review it himself, thats the only way we will see a demonstrable improvement in decision making, outside of the aforementioned handballs and offsides restricted to build up to goals. The only other option outside of that is for VAR to be allowed the right to over rule the ref if from their multiple angles and views they disagree with the refs decision based on his one time viewing of the incident, sometimes from very difficult angles.

            Blaze, but apart from handball or offside, where is the improvement in decisions?

              Also VAR cant over rule ref, but who has the higher probability of making the best subjective call, the ref who see’s the incident once or VAR who can see it many times through many angles?

                Why not just use it for handballs and offsides in build up to goals? Thats all it seems fit for, everything else is ultimately decided by the ref on the field anyway.

                  I dont think anyone expected 100% accuracy Nine. What we wanted I think was considerable improvement, or at least improvements considerable enough to make the delays worthwile. Like I said I hope it improves, but right now the balance is tipped against it imo.

                    To be fair nine, if we take offsides and handballs in lead up to goals out of the equation, I dont see any increase in the accuracy of refereeing decisions post VAR. I hope it gets better as we move forward, but as it is I am not conviced the benefits have outweighed the cost to the experience of the game.

                      stevo, its not compulsive viewing for me mate, but when Arsenal lose its better entertainment than money can buy 🙂 See the guy that runs it, robbie, is trying his hardest to lead the fans he is interviewing to say “emery out”! Luckiest fan in the world he is, the crapper his team, the more money he makes!

                            I heard if Arsenal finish outside top 4 this season they can terminate Emery’s contract without paying compensation. If true then Arsenal will either be in CL next season or will have a new manager imo.

                                Oz, I do agree with your post, but disagree that city are destined to win. Despite the truth in your post I still think pool can do it mate.

                                  Chelseaman, I am the eternal optimist mate, my sights are set on 3rd 🙂

                                  Of course though mate, we are not quite at the quarter mark yet and its wishful thinking from me thats all.

                                    Anyone else get the feeling the top 4 as it is now will be the top 4 come the end of the season?

                                      Spot on Chelsea man, Liverpool best defence, city best midfield, and pretty close in terms of front 3. Where they really differ is quality in depth.

                                        They need two goals without reply to replace us in top 4 nine, and to be fair to Emery Lacazette on for Xhaka is exactly the type of change that would be required to do that in last 20 mins.

                                        Fingers crossed they dont tho 🙂

                                          Yeah was a good call from ref Nine, thought it was a pen a first myself but clearly not in replay

                                            Mak, I can not imagine any scenario in which Ole will be manager of Manchester United next season. I wouldnt expect the club to be upfront about this so will semi back him publicly as best they can, but surely they are planning for change in the summer, I cant see it any other way right now.
