According to the piece I've just read VAR can ONLY get involved if a clear error has been spotted.
It's that word "clear" again....
If they're going to review everything then just say "we're going to review everything" and then at least people will have an idea.

The clear and obvious mandate doesn't apply to offside. You're either offside, or your not.

Not great news for Everton. Gomes off injured before half time. Looked lively as well before going off. Hopefully Gbamin can step up in the 2nd half.

I've just got back from the west ham game.
VAR definitely makes the live experience worse. I don't think that anyone would have gone home complaining about the decisions as they were, and it just ruined the flow of the game.
Of course, football gave up caring about actual match-going supporters years ago, so not expecting it to change anytime soon.
For the record, I think 5-0 was a bit harsh, 3/4-1 would have been a better reflection. Which is an indictment in itself I suppose...

It seemed pretty quick on the tv but I’m guessing in the stadium it just feels like forever?

Joe cole said on bt that the reaction from the crowd when the goal was overturned was interesting and that he could see it energising teams hearing that passion

Almost worked for us with the double save from Ederson soon after but then it was just citeh being the best around

It is slow in the stadium, and of course they don't show anything at the time.
It was definitely more lively after the disallowed goal, but if anything that was more due to Snodgrass coming on and cheering us up...
What little hope we had ended in the save/miss followed by a swift counter by citeh. They are very hard to play against - relentless throughout and foul very quickly if they turn over the ball. Which, of course, the refs never punish. Very similar to spurs in that respect. I know it makes sense if you crunch the numbers, but it is extremely annoying to witness.

Villa look good on the break, defend well and soak up pressure, if Wesley didn’t go to ground and moan too much they’d actually have 11 players out there.

Kane didn’t know he was offside and scuffed his shot, Rose is shite, works hard at times but no final ball or cross, Spurs overall body language just looks poor, somethings not right.

Love it 😜😂😂💙
