What gets me is VAR officials are looking at slow motion etc and still getting simple decisions glaringly wrong, either some of them are idiots or as some believe, bent.

Does this now mean it is 116 charges?

Think the teams who are going to be looking at him are just thinking let him develop at us, the extra 20- 30m they will have to pay when he’s a regular England player is nothing to them.
Think the lad knows too, he can establish himself at England with us, then if he does want the move, he doesn’t need to prove anything at a new club.

Like guehi has done at city.
100m in 2 years easy!

Spot on as Always.
When clubs signed up to the Sky money in 1992 that was were fans became irrelevant. Going the game for a 3.00pm kick off on a Saturday is now a rarity Sky decide when teams play to fit in with Skys schedules, so your more likely to have fixture moved more than ever. People used to buy season tickets because they knew the game would kick off on Saturday, but now because clubs have decided we don’t want you to have a season ticket that could be given to a friend if you couldn’t go, now they are making it that harder and harder.

Because of poor refereeing the idea was to bring in VAR so the same useless refs who made lousey decisions on the pitch are now doing it in a studio miles away. This was suppose to clear up CLEAR AND OBVIOUS mistakes but now offside is down to millimetres and as the Manchester derby showed how incompetent these officials are. I doubt any neutral watching thought it was anything but an offside but somehow they completely ignored the City player trying to score with a diving header. And to hear Dermot Gallagher trying to make excuses is embarrassing. But lets not forget Wolves last season put forward a motion to scrap VAR an dit was voted down. I bet if the fans at most clubs were given the vote it would be scrapped..

Raymond, I don’t pretend to be a master tactician but players do not stick in their original positions, they move around to fill the gaps, and if we are trying to transition down the left, the right all moves over a bit. More conservative teams will for example play one wide player goes, the other stays (and moves over a bit)

I’d say it’s like chess but not so, because that is a very static game. Mostly I think we have the players who can pull off this fluidity but as I say, not much point if the threat posed is minimal (and I accept there is always risk, it’s the degree you mitigate it, so there must be a decent upside). As you say, better players would certainly help us do it.

Jury out on AML but for sure Myko isn’t the one.
