If I was choosing between them I'd play Dele up front with Lucas and Bergwijn out wide. Lo Celso at number 10. Dele can at least win a header, hold the ball up, etc as he's bigger and stronger than the others.

Did you see Fred's 'dive'?
He did so well he got awarded with a yellow card ............................ but did the City defender get an assist?
He certainly should have.

Yeah I did, probably the reason why he never got a pen because he made a meal of it.

He was caught and wether he made a meal of it or not it’s a penalty.
If the VAR can’t see that with a slow mo he needs replacing.
Miss the refs debate today but surely they must of agreed he made a mistake.
I’m sure your comment was tongue in cheek

Funny how you say that's a pen yet Mane was caught against Leicester and you were adamant he dived and it wasnt a pen??
Re VAR, I'll say again, until we improve the standard of refereeing VAR decisions will be inconsistent.
I can't wait for someone to score a goal with their armpit ?

Personally I like to see decisions not given when the player starts with the theatrics,even if it was a foul ?

I can't be arsed looking for it, it was last year though .
Before you get upset I thought it was a pen, but genuinely believe his theatrics cost him not getting it.
LB's idea of the pen and a booking is his best one yet.

Far from upset knew you were jesting.Not an obvious penalty before the slow mo but a dead cert when seen.
What VAR saw god only knows.
He got caught and was a pen pure and simple.
Anyway cheering on Villa tonight fancy Leicester to drop out top 4

Not even sure his theatrics were that bad (especially when compared some of late)
What I dont understand is VAR took less than 5 seconds to make their decision on how negligible the contact was yet need 4 minutes to make their decision on some
The big frustration is VAR was supposed to bring in more consistency, if anything it has magnified the inconsistency!

I think we could all forgive ref's making genuine mistakes when making a decision in real time and in a split second. What is unforgivable is the fact the same mistakes are being made with slow mo, drawings/lines and as long as they like to decide. It's truly shocking and I've lost all confidence in the process and watching a game is just frustrating.

Yes I agree .
I think they should be alerted by the VAR that there is a problem.
Just go and look at the screen and make your own mind up.
That way it’s the onfield refs decision.

Shoulder must be handball now. There was one a few months ago (can't remember game) where same thing happened.
Maddison just barged in back in box. I doubt that will be given. I reckon if players appeal really hard, VAR is more likely to give it. Fred barely appealed yesterday, and therefore I doubt VAR gave it more than a few seconds thought. Had he furiously appealed, I bet VAR would have taken a lot longer to look at it.

I think they should get the free kick/penalty but should also be booked.

I think they should show how pathetic they look on the big screen in the stadium,Then they have to play the remainder of the match wearing a hat with CHEAT on it.
If they’ve dived then they should wear Speedo’s
