We should sign Lanzini, would be a great player to teach Gomes the ropes plus he'd add alot of quality to our side.

It’s not VAR though, it’s the new rule. Last season the goal would have stood. The new rule states that even if the contact is not intentional, if the ball strikes an arm leading to a goal it should be disallowed. It doesn’t even matter if he tried to move his arm away.

Like many I agree it’s harsh and would be fuming if it went against my team, but by the letter of the (new) law it was the correct decision.
The new law also states that pulling on a players jersey, or swinging around his neck in the area, is a penalty.

Cannot believe some of the comments in here. The ball hit his hand to send the ball the Jesus. It wasn't blasted at him from three yards.

VAR has done its job and do I care that fans celebrated incorrectly? No.

I remember the days of celebrating and then the disappointment that the linesmans flag had gone up.

Am I correct in saying every single Sheffield United player in todays squad apart from Besic is either British or Irish?

Sheffield's kit is quite nice with the black shorts and red socks combination.

Pretty dull game so far, hope Palace can start testing Henderson.

I really want Sheffield United to do well. Henderson too.

Love the city, lived across the road from Bramall Lane and Wilder seems like an interesting coach given the system he uses.

No Ravel in the squad again though? Wonder how far away from fitness he is?

Boring game but hope Palace win it, because my mates have Henderson in fantasy (while he's on my bench) and for some reason I have Kelly in the team this round.

Mainly watching this game to get a look at Henderson and so far he has had nothing to do.

Zaha does not look up for it. Perhaps Palace should have sold?
