For me the solution to VAR is to just get rid of slow motion and freeze frames. If a mistake is obvious enough to be seen at normal speed then call it back. Not only would this eliminate the nonsensical margin of error, it would also presumably speed the whole process up significantly.
I agree, that's the best way to use it. They're trying to be too clever when the technology isn't up to scratch.

Not really though.

2 more goals, he will equal David Silva's best season too, he might be better than David Silva.

Oh wait, they play different positions.

They need to ditch the line drawing bullshit, as it isn't clear and obvious if you need to start pulling your high school geometry out of your ass, and the benefit should just go to the attacker in such marginal calls.
They are sitting there with Ms Paint and a copy of Geometry Revisited.

Not really, he had an opportunity to learn and train with some very good players and manager, and should have taken that opportunity to improve instead of sulking. And IIRC, then the player himself wanted to go there and did not want to go to a lower level.
He was already training with top players. He didn't sulk there, you've just made that up.

And we shouldn't be letting players choose their loan clubs which are terrible opportunities.

Saw loads of this on the "buzz" part on the footmob app.

It's quite annoying, as Rashford has spent most of his time out wide, or getting bits and pieces of action.
And when he has been up front, we've been a bit of a shambles.

Let's see whether Abraham stays their first choice when they can buy again.

That's the point with Rashford, no one knows what he is. If Rashford is someone who would walk into the Chelsea team, who is he competing with? Is he a better winger then Willian, Pulisic and CHO? Or is he a better striker than Abraham?

Rashford is talented but if a team has their shit together he's not getting in the first 11 because he hasn't settled into a position.

Anybody wanna see a demonstration of a properly coached side? Check out Sheffield United vs Spurs. Sheffield have inferior players in every position, but have been the better team in every department. Wilder doing an amazing job there...

You are quite right.
