So for second yellows, can VAR only be used if the challenge/incident is deemed a potential straight red from the VAR officials?

Kovacic looks like an mma fighter

Tackles like one too

He’s a ringer for Nick Diaz

Yes but you really dont need VAR for that second one.

Yep. VAR can only advise to award (or overturn) goals, straight reds and pens.

I’d agree but that seems like an awful use of the technology if that’s the case.

Martinelli on

Trossard off? Wtf, stick him on the right and take Eddie off.

Edit
And he mis-controls and loses the ball within seconds of the restart.

Does Haaland score in the really big games that matter or just against burnley and mid table dross. No one mentions how missing he was in the big games last year like they would for Kane, Ronaldo and co.

 

[C Kent]

so Michael Oliver who took some cash from an oil state to 'referee a game' fails to send off an oil state player for one of the most blatant reds you see all season.. I'm sure glad I don't believe in conspiracy theories!

I know he'll now score a hat trick, but I'm enjoying the transformation of Haaland into Peter Crouch with nicer hair. Bang it up to him and let Alvarez do the exciting stuff with what comes off him

Perhaps I was too kind to Haaland

 

[Raymond Lin]

Alverez is a better footballer than Haaland...

Should win the Ballon d'Or too if the criteria is winning the most trophies in a season!

 

[Tombstone]

Not exactly the most exciting of matches this

 

[postbox]

This is dull and desperately needs a goal….or anything of anything to happen.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Winding down into a friendly match.

He's a better all round player, definitely. If I was going to pick one in my team it would be Haaland though, he's just so destructive

Bit of a snoozefest this

Liverpool were very lucky today, Brighton gifted them a goal, gave them a penalty and missed a practical open goal, should have been 3-2

Should also have had a man sent off and Gravenberch should have scored, and Liverpool gifted them their first goal, but sure

I really was expecting Brighton to pass the ball all the way into their own goal, really shoddy stuff, they do play some nice football though. Perhaps some brown envelopes have been exchanged somewhere.

Of course Haaland will be the one not to score in my goal scorer treble, Salah and Isak managed two each and only needed the one!
