Carabao Cup - Quarter Final ** Spoilers ** [18th - 19th December 2018]

Hmm, ive had a funny feeling about this game all day today, i just get a feeling we'll get beaten.

On the one hand I want us to absolutely smash them like we did 2 weeks ago. On the other hand do we really need the extra fixtures if we progress........
 
Iwobi has had a couple of decent spells in a couple of games and everyone was saying how well he's improved. He hasn't at all. He gives the ball away so much, he just isn't good enough for a top half prem team. Miki is running him close for worst player on the pitch though.

It wasn't offside and not that I noticed any foul but VAR wouldn't be used for that anyway.

Looking at it again, the offside was a closer call than I first thought. Istill think he was marginally off, but benefit of doubt to the attacker I suppose

It wasn't offside and as offside is a matter of fact, not a subjective decision, there is no benefit of the doubt with VAR. It simply wasn't offside.
 
However, in this case you have to make a call on whether Son's head was closer to the Arsenal goal than the defender's feet at the moment the ball is kicked. The freeze frame I saw suggested it was, but you have to take into account the camera perspective and the freeze frame chosen by the broadcaster, which brings in a subjective element to a factual situation - hence my statement about the benefit of the doubt going to the attacker

Officials using VAR won't be using that single freeze frame and their technology will factor in the camera perspective - they will be able to see for certain whether he was in an offsie or onside position. They don't need to give any benefit of the doubt, whether that be to the attacker or the on field officials.
