I think if they have to stick with it then get rid of the control room and get the ref to look at a pitchside monitor like they do on the continent. At least it puts the onus back on the ref to make a decision in the first place

Whatever happens it needs to be simplified. The Fans need to know exactly what the rules are and how they are being applied and then they need to be consistent for the whole season. For me something like:

Offsides should be based on one body part only (for me the torso) and the attackers should have to be clear of the defenders to be offside, anything else is level and onside (could use furthest forward boot instead)

Going back to look for offenses should be limited to 2 passes previous

Serious foul play should only be looked at it in full speed not slowed down

Offside rule needs to be massively simplified too (anything in the box is interfering for me though)

PGMOL/IFAB lucky that fans not in grounds atm because the backlash against VAR micro-officiating & meddling in a glorious, flowing sport would be fierce. Laws changed because of VAR’s unforgiving eye. Football belongs to fans/players not pedantic forensic units at Stockley Park.

Spot on.

Mustafi to Liverpool? Any mileage in this? It would be handy from my point of view.

We’re desperate and I’m annoyed those above Klopp haven’t sorted this problem before now.

We’ve had since November to sort at least 1 CB out yet we’re here on 31st Jan scratching around the bargain basement box looking for a CB.

is he really that bad?

No, he is fantastic. Best CB you have ever seen. Please take him.

we paid 30m+ for him, hes excellent

OR

have a look at how many ordinary centre halves weve bought and tried ahead of him over the last few years

He might be a really good player playing in a mid table club who deserves a chance.
Or he might be crap and dragging that team down.
I wonder which.

Neither. He can be absolutely brilliant for 85 minutes, but he will have a 5 minute spell when he just turns off, and makes crucial mistakes.
He also has a habit of trying to make up for mistakes by going in with badly timed sliding tackles.

Have you heard of Dejan Lovren and Martin Skrtel? Sounds like Mustafi would fit right in!
 
Have brought it into this thread on the basis will City pay?

Messi’s reported contract will be around €2.5 million WEEKLY. That is over 4 years and has been leaked by Spanish paper

I wonder how City will get around FFP rules paying that sort of money...
