Gakpo cracks me up man, he looks like a CB playing upfront

Mike Dean saying that although Chillwell didn’t do anything wrong, he had to be given a yellow because the Liverpool players came charging in and caused a melee and you have to give two yellows to make sure it’s even.

Yeah, that looks odd. Konate’s shoulder looks ahead of his foot, which would make Jackson on. :houllier:
It's worse than that. They drew the offside line through Konate's foot and drew Jackson's line at his fecking hand.

bradley looks like gareth from the office shaping up for a fight.

footballers in general shaping up for fights look like absolute geebags, just once you'd like to see someone swing as oppose to this homo erotic shouldering act we always get

All the crying about Liverpool and VAR while Chelsea have been (hilariously) kicking lumps out of them all half with no punishment is standard fan nonsense.

Caicedo isn’t allowed to tackle Liverpool players anymore; it’s an automatic foul apparently.

He’s not allowed to foul, which he’s done multiple times throughout the half.

So basiclly. First half. Chelsea should be leading if not VAR found something nobody here can see. Caicedo should have been on yellow.

Caicedo is simultaneously playing very well and abysmally depending on which message board/sub reddit you read.

How is this not a red card? :lol:

Because it’s not a red card?

He doesn’t make a challenge for the ball he literally just plants his foot ready to change direction and doesn’t have any visibility of Gravenberch’s foot ending up there after his pass. Accidents happen, you don’t have to give a red card any time a player gets injured.

But if this was a Liverpool player on a Chelsea one, you’d be on here saying it was a red.

Not every bit of contact has to be a foul or a card.

This is just like that joke decision to send Rashford off. He's running, he's not even looking at him and is putting his foot down to change direction.

Am I the only who thinks these challenges being called reds are ridiculous? It's football, if you play the game you realise these kind of challenges can happen, if a player puts a foot in the direction your running, there's a chance you're going to stamp on them? I just don't get it, games gone too fecking soft because of all these replays making it look bad

I think they use the attackers sleeve edge and the defenders foot. No idea why they don’t just the most forward part of the boot and simplify it.
They’re supposed to use the last part of a player which can legally touch the ball.

I'm watching on DAZN in Germany, they showed that angle and t hen had an online vote, 64% said red card, 32% yellow card, 4% no foul.
I’m watching on state tv here in Pyongyang. They’re saying it’s 4-0 to Kim Jong Un.

Yeah, nothing to see here. It's not like Liverpool have had really, really dodgy VAR offside decisions go their way against Chelsea in 3 finals in recent years. You're fecking dumb if you think a few bookings have as much of an impact as a perfectly good goal disallowed when the scores are level. Us not getting a booking or two doesn't negate that shite shite decision from VAR.

There's only one United!

Jackson's laces made the Chelsea goal stand.
Lucky Liverpool!

There's not even the ball involved, the guy just went for the ankle.
He didn't. It is like someone jumping for a ball and stamp on someones foot when falling down.

To make it slower in the replay makes time between ball and player a lot longer.

From here to there
That VAR offside call was very very dodgy. I reckon that came out level and they've decided to help Liverpool out given the recent death of their manager and them being the first team ever to get some injuries. Oh and because they had one bad call versus spurs.
