You’ve missed Martinez’s antics after Carvalho whose about 6st ringing wet tackled him ?

I was being somewhat facetious - a smiley would probably have helped.
And no, if VAR gets involved, lines should be drawn to get the decision right.
And FWIW, the nose or feet are most likely to be the counting bits - arms don't count.

Then return back to the position you should be in for a restart quickly and emphasise how much time Fernandes is wasting; if you’re wrestling him into the corner of the net you are wasting as much time as he is.
Even easier, just return the ball to the referee and let him take it back, no argument then.

I don’t ever want to see Henderson and Milner in the same midfield together again. Ever.
Thought we too slow all over the pitch, how Henderson lost that ball in the midfield for the 2nd I’ll never know?

Forcing them off the field - on a stretcher and requiring assessment by medical staff, with the team a man down - would stop the play-acting instantly! Unfortunately, that won't ever happen!

You've seen enough of that and you know aswell as I do nothing gets done about it. If refs actually penalised properly for time wasting it would stop, they don’t, won’t and never will in our lifetime.

Dale Johnson has the onside/VAR decision clarified as usual.

Tolerance level, ? Ave a feeling we will hear that again this season.
Milner's is ideal to come on 15 minutes from the end of a game in order to help close it out. That's his role now at the age he is. Nothing wrong with that, it's an important job in a squad. Henderson seems to be getting slower but this is less of an issue when he has an engine next to him, the football brain is still working. Put the two together ?. When you make that utd midfield look decent you know you have it wrong.I don’t ever want to see Henderson and Milner in the same midfield together again. Ever.

How big a miss do you think Mane is? He was so good for you second half of last season.

How come Jesus goal against Bournemouth was offside then? It was less offside than that one

Re Milner I think your quote is spot on, however playing Hendo and Milner together. Is it because the squad is that thin. I thought Milner showed 100% commitment in trying to stop the Sancho goal. Sancho just used skill and put him on his backside. VVD should of put more effort in to stop the shot. Sancho used his still body to knock the ball around him.
Re TH, I know there’s discussion re how he will handle things but for me and I said this when he dropped Ronaldo, he is not afraid of making tough/ right decisions. The one that has to worry about his place is not Ronaldo but Maguire.

Didn't they play in the same midfield in the last Old Trafford encounter. What a difference 10 months makes

He answered that already. It simply wasn’t within the tolerance level - 5cm apparently.

We only have to put up with it for this season. All completely new tech coming next year.

That link was excellent and actually answered some questions I had posted re the Trippier VAR overturn.

Presumably operated by the current set of Visually Abject Referees? So no change then...

Even better than that! It’s AI based so we get to complain about algorithms instead.
What we need is the technology to tell us and take away the human element, you’d think that couldn’t be far away in this day and age.
Got to say Man Utd were impressive last night, work rate was phenomenal, just shows what hard work can do, I think even if Liverpool did win the fans would of been happy with the level of commitment by the players.
There is ways to get beat and Brighton and Brentford isn’t’ that way.
Although only one game you’ve got to think the confidence will be sky high Within the squad.

That’s where they’re going. We’ll see it at the World Cup for the first time.
I’m skeptical as it uses the same tech that has existed for videogame and film animation for years so I know it’s limitations, However, those limitations are more predictable than a retired myopic referee so I’m thinking it’ll be much better than what we currently have. We’ll see!
Milner has 100% commitment but he is becoming more of a blunt instrument as age catches up. His tackles are that little bit later, he is that bit slower. Fine, just about, when used correctly but not as per last night.
