VAR was supposed to eliminate human error, when in fact, all it really did was to facilitate indulgence of even worse humans. Humans armed with a state-of-the-art video suite and a slide-rule. Was Sonny’s goal off-side? Undoubtedly. However, only by such a fractional amount that it makes me wonder what the actual object if the exercise was in the first instance.
What didn’t require a team of traffic wardens to assess was handball by Alisson. As one can clearly see, the ball is in an advanced position of his right foot, which is wholly over the line.
We have a habit of making very ordinary teams and players look World Class that’s our Totttenham for you 😏 Ade Akinbiyi once of Leicester anyone ? 😀
They cut us apart. I think Mane is our biggest loss in a decade. Never forget his first game at the Lane for them he was magic. Even Ali Gold states that Levy wont get into a bidding war (he folds). Keep the Head Coach get rid of the millstone – yes I know fat chance but even after 13 years of supporting Spurs I can dream.
Just looked at pre match odds, surprise surprise Spurs were stretched right out to 5/2 to tempt in the punters when it was Liverpool’s night. I missed that before hand, all makes sense now. Filth.
Another suspect Prem match.
Incredible that this incident ws not reviwed as it was the most blatent error from a VAR point of view.The commentators never even questioned it.Mind you McManaman was one of them.
Once upon a time, that was handball and sending off. However, this is Liverpool.
This.
I watched the match and coverage in India. I only missed 2 mins of the halftime analysis and the post-game coverage (as you can guess I wasn’t in the mood for that one. Since then I’ve scrolled through the entire Newsnow Spurs feed and I’ve googled “Alisson Handball Spurs”. I got a bunch of articles on Henderson’s handball but there is no mention of this incident. Not a single one. I mean how the f**k is that possible? I would understand if I found a piece saying that it wasn’t handball. But to find absolutely nothing is bewildering.
I said before the match , if you havent scored for a few games , play Spurs & that will sort it. Charlie Nicholas no goals for 4 months scores within 10 minutes at the lane & gets 2. That Mansfield bloke Syrett , in Div 2. No goals for 2 years , he gets a hat trick in a 3-3 draw. Showing my age. Lets be blunt ,Kane, Son, Pierre & Tanguy. Where was he last night? Our 4 elite players. Rodon, Requilon Doherty & La Celso need time & fitness. Sadly Bale & Toby , who were class have expired. Lamela, Winks , Sanchez, Dier , Aurier, Davies & Sissoko are dead wood. We need 2 quality in prime centre backs otherwise our forwards are pissing in the wind
Not even a single tv replay of the moment. Liverpool were clearly the better team yesterday – they really didn’t need the extra help from the officials
Was it a great Liverpool side full of confidence and goals, absolutely not. Down to three horrendous individual mistakes.
Bringing on Lamela and Winks was pointless. Vinicius confidence must be brimming, gifting Bale 10 minutes, why even bother?
Rodon made that one costly mistake, otherwise he was solid and vocal. Is Doherty, how you say….retarded?
Anyhoo on to Brighton on Sunday.
VAR is a farce
Didn’t seem to be even looked at and the pundits didn’t even want to look at it again
