In a VAR world it wouldn't have been overturned if given.

Agree

Would VAR have given it if the ref didn’t ?

Knowing how VAR like to get involved....probably.

How true


Lovely finish there as well

I think it was a pen. Would definitely have wanted it at the other end. Shirt tug, clips his ankles.

3 good goals from Liverpool, should’ve been a penalty and the games very different at 2-2. Been impressed with how Barnsley have played this evening a good advert for League One.

Scoreline flattered us , Barnsley did well

The young lad Cleary got himself in the shop window

Great cup game

 

[clubchamp98]

Very underwhelming from Liverpool.
They just looked so lethargic.

Not a pen for me he’s looking for it ,just stay on your feet your past the defender try and score .

Barnsley played well and 4-1 was a bit harsh imo.

I agree with all that.
He looked to me that he slowed down when past him.
I think Dom got his big toe to the ball under the lads foot but more luck than judgement.
Having watched a few games and highlights this weekend personally I have found it more enjoyable without VAR and can’t think of any particular mistakes made but that might just be me from what I have seen

Yes he did....I've just seen the slow mo replays from the goal line and Szoboszlai definitely gets his toe to the ball.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

So are we saying the ref had a good game??
Shock horror

Connor Gallagher to Spurs. I'd have liked him at Utd, from what I remember of him

 

[anotherdouble]

Can’t believe in a match with no VAR people are talking about VAR. yet the moan about VAR when it’s in use

Whilst he got the ball with his foot , there was the push

At last a decent signing

Very good signing. He would improve a very good number of teams in the division. His energy alone would improve many midfields.

Does seem pushing in the back isn’t a foul anymore.
Especially when jumping to head a ball.

Martin Keown demonstrating again what a useless pundit of football he is on Talksport

In his usual Man Utd bashing, he brought up to Man Utd players now doing really well since leaving club. Who were they?

1. He said look at Rashford, winning the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid (he came on in the 83rd minute)

2. He said Sancho is doing really well at Villa. I had to go on Fantasy Football to see how much game time Sancho had played. Barely any it turns out

I heard that.

And for all the talk of Hojlund and McTominay performing so well in Italy, that has to be balanced against the fact that Serie A does not compare with the Premier League. So straight comparisons are a little misleading.
