As I understand VAR an attacking team can not gain an advantage / goal from any handball.
It dosnt matter if it’s accidental or not.
Not sure if you can get a pen if one of your players handballs it in the build up.

But having said that TAA gets the ball with his arm ?
How VAR gives the goal is a mystery 22 seconds elapsed between hitting his arm and us scoring.
Should the goal be disallowed?? What decision is given.
First offence is Bernado handball.

So my guess no goal and free kick for Liverpool for handball.
No penalty.
VAR it’s anyones guess.
 
I think it’s Liverpool then city, then a 10+ point gap to Leicester/Chelsea, then atleast a 10 point gap down to 5th.

5th downwards could be anyone’s, you’d imagine Sheff Utd would fall away a bit, but they have been playing really well. I can see 5th-15th being covered by a very small points gap.
I haven’t seen much from Norwich to see them improving, so would commit to them going down. Watford and Southampton have potential to get out of it, but will be close.
 
That’s the interesting point about it all

For me it’s that whole grey area - it’s accidental so shouldn’t be a penalty but I don’t know about all this silhouette stuff 😩

Think it would have been harsh if it was a penalty but if the ref had given it then I don’t think it would have been overturned

But if the initial handball was Silva then hits TAA and we go and score how far back do they go in regards the build up ?

Thought overall we deserved the three points - really solid performance with still a lot more to come. It maybe 9 point gap but we are coming up to a very busy period that’s going to stretch the squad

Listened to 5live a minute a go and the City fans calling in made me giggle a bit - seems everyone is against them and we have an unfair advantage 😂
We do have an advantage we can defend properly.

It’s only 8 pts to the second best team isn’t it.?;)

I don’t think Arsenal will finish in the top 6, we’ve seen everything they’ve got, and it’s not a lot, whereas other teams are finding their feet and are getting better, I can see them getting more and more frustrated and losing more ground.

Fish a fishing :) I nearly bit
 
So is it Spurs missing out on top 4 ?

And which one from Arsenal and UTD will miss out on top 6 or will it be both ?
 
I can't rmemeber the game. But early doors this season we had a scenario where sky mentioned it was a certain amount of phases between a foul and a gaol we conceded. So VAR wouldnt check it.

For me, the TAA handball wasn't a pen, but it was clearly in the start of a counter and therefor an attacking team got an an advantage forma handball.something that is clearly an infringement this season. So Should have ruled first goal out.

That said. City had multiple chances to stop it and didn't. Liverpool the better team, but fortunate in a couple of big calls. Much like city were with kompany not getting sent of for his shocking tackle last year.....

What drugs are you on Phil it’s barely November and you’re writing Arsenal of top 4 already?

Similarly you shouldn’t think that Liverpool have won the league already ( you probably think this because you’re 9 points ahead of City)

Have you not learned anything from watching football for 30+ years?

9 points is nothing with 25+ games to go.

Arsenal have no chance of top 4 , they aren’t good enough , they are going to struggle to get top 6 - 4 teams are clearly streets ahead of Arsenal

But I’ll bet you £20 to H4H that Arsenal don’t make too 4

I don’t think we have already won the title - stated as such in my previous post

only £20?
id say you’d be safe with a £200 bet

He's clearly not on the same wonder drugs you are to think we have any chance of top 4 with the lack of invention we have, the inability to defend we have, the lack of identity we have and the manager we have....

You're right on one thing that 9pts is nothing at this stage, because it will be a whole lot more between us and 4th come end of the season.
 
Cheating Liverpool, if he doesn’t handle it there then it goes to Sterling simple as that.

VAR is shyte


Before VAR that wasnt handball. Fact. It always had to be "deliberate", I'm sure our resident Ref will confirm this.

It's also very apt when you had,Pires,Henry etc in your team 😂😂😂
 
So a ball has changed direction from an "accidental" handball yet TAA was deliberate?? 😂😂 you are a proper tool.

Yes why not?

Silva was ball to hand and no time to react. TTA was hand to ball with plenty of time to react.

Arguable sending off as well as it would have denied a goal scoring opportunity.

Ref bottled it and VAR never overrules the ref.
 
It amazes me that something at 6 mins of a game is the reason City lost......not that they couldn't score in the next 80 odd mins before they got one back....
If you don't take your chances you lose.:)

Its Liverpool, they all dont want us to win anything. Imagine how unbearable they'll be?? 😂😂
