The NHL has a challenge system like that, which works fine. It won't fix many of the issues with VAR, but at least it would remove the whole mess with what gets VAR-checked and what doesn't, and above all what is sufficiently "clear and obvious"...

There are fairly obvious issues with both of those. The offside one; you can use that to actually gain exactly the sort of advantage offside is designed to prevent - you could get as much as half a meter's head start with that, if it's your...

On the other hand, they have ipads.

Unlike a challenge-based ref decision system, which would be entertaining, but rational and efficient.

Why not have the managers make the challenges?

There's something to be said for this. I've never understood how having a hand on the wrong side of the defender is supposed to give you an unfair advantage. I've seen the challenge system in the NHL, and it seems to work well there at least.

The pace of that CB pairing though.

Conference League? That's if we have a pretty good season finish. At worst, we could be talking about 10th place.

Considering the remaining schedule, I'm going to go with 7th here, as the most probable outcome. But apart from us, Newcastle, Chelsea, West Ham and Brighton are all in the fight for 6th place, so it could turn out worse than that. The situation...

He should never, ever have been even considered, at any time. But even on that basis, I've never believed he's wrong about everything. So in that way, the OP question is kind of pointless.

True. This is exactly the sort of mistakes you have to expect from a young unexperienced player, and they don't really detract from his projection. Technically and physically he looks up to it, and he's showing quite a lot of confidence and...

Generally speaking, arguably so. But again - once Dalot pushes out, Kambwala has to follow. Also, you don't really see a lot of those huge, open vistas down the flank when other teams are playing. Also, you can be as compact as you want, but the...
