Or someone will make a desperate last ditch challenge and seriously hurt themselves or the guy they're tackling
Pulisic looking a bit better today.
Hope Liverpool get found out this season.

I like how you corrected the time but not the temperature!
I'm not watching the match but generally what the rule is in Germany, and I presume European competition, is that if the linesman is doubtful about offside then he/she will not call it if they believe there is a chance at a goalscoring opportunity. When the phase of play ends the linesman will call an offside and, if a goal as been scored, VAR will check it.
I like the rule because it prevents occasions where a player can be clean on goal but is called back for an incorrect offside decision. These cases cannot be called back by VAR so this is the best way to ensure fairness.
It has been applied in the BL for the past season and I like it.
Yeah, that is actually worse.
If Abraham comes on, Chelsea are fecked
This emerson guy looks way better than Luke shaw. I seriously hope we give Brandon williams or Dalot a go at the LB spot.
feck the temperature, everyone worked in hot temps in the summer
Might as well not have linespeople and have everything done by a computer in that case.
Some of these offsides today were CLEARLY offiside.
The referees are giving nothing in terms of 50-50 to Chelsea
Not in the North
You know not all offsides are called on goalscoring opportunities right? Way to take the argument to an unreasonable extreme.
Still don't get why opposition don't stick a man on Van Dijk when liverpool have it at the back. He's their out ball every single time.
Cut that out and you'd disrupt their ability to play it out from the back

Hang on, there's extra time if this ends a draw?
Just time your run pulisic.
That ball from vvd was crazy
Yes
Lampard throwing in the youngsters. Let’s see!
Super first start for Captain America, he looks knackered though.
wow
Madness
I'm still finding it weird seeing Lampard as a manager.
What a save.
Liverpool losing on penalties again would be delicious.
Close that
oof, good keeping
What a brilliant save.
Just what they both want.
Why was Kante marking Van Dijk on a corner?
2 great saves by Kepa
Pool look a bit undercooked.
Kepa was right, Sarri's shite!
Kante marking VVD.
What could go wrong?

?This ref is shite. Mane just falls over and they get a free kick.
Specially Chelsea, they are salivating at the thought of it
I don't want a computer to take away too much from a linesperson, a significant number of offisdes are going to involve goalscoring opportunities, no not all of them will be but its beside the point, a lot of them will be.
If its a tight call, that's one thing, but both offsides today had clear daylight and didn't need VAR intervention, but used it anyway. Its excessive use of the system in my opinion.
Sexist Pig.
