UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [2nd - 4th November 2021]

McManaman knows its offside. Shame VAR didn't

Tbf when I saw the initial replay, I thought it was comfortably offside.

 

[Calpol]

Ole needs to sub Mcsauce now! Do not make the same mistake as he did with Fred last season!

It's a shame as he's shown the right level of commitment and set the right tone..
Maguire and DDG axis again questionable for that goal. I think Dave could be slighlty braver in that circumstance

 

[Alex h]

Harry lol

 

[uber soldat]

This ref is inept.

 

[adam cool dude]

Really is a mess isn't it. I just cannot be positive anymore.

 

[JamesH85]

Mcmanaman is an awful commentator. Absolutely brutal.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

That's another Maguire error, Shaw and AWB held the line, he dropped back a yard.

Edit: He's all over the place

 

[Stumble Bum]

Why are there no replays today?

 

[omnomnom]

United need to put Maguire in the bin.

 

[The Running Man]

United need to put Maguire in the bin.

Another 70m player in the bin?

 

[JamesH85]

They are getting pressed all over the park, getting outran again. Atalanta just working harder.

 

[adam cool dude]

Bailly making Maguire look Sunday league.

 

[The Running Man]

Bailly making Maguire look Sunday league.

Man utd making Atalanta look champions league again.

 

[Calpol]

62 minutes and Pogba just managed to find a red shirt with a pass.

 

[robfosters]

If Zapata was 5 years younger he’d be on the radar for a lot of top clubs imo.

I thought it looked on, why did it take so long though

Because VAR will always have the same issues with offside. If you say the player can be 5m ahead of the defender, you still have to measure 5m. There is still 5.01m and 4.99m. Giving the benefit of the doubt to the attacker with a little leeway is a good change but ultimately doesn't change the fact that a marginal call is a marginal call.

Tbf when I saw the initial replay, I thought it was comfortably offside.

As soon as they showed the freeze frame before they went for the VAR check it was pretty obvious it was close. I certainly would have changed my level of certainty.

 

[The Running Man]

Matic?

Is ole off his head?

 

[uber soldat]

Don't worry Ole will send on those match winners Matic and Lingard in a minute.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Another Maguire masterclass

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

If Zapata was 5 years younger he’d be on the radar for a lot of top clubs imo.

I was thinking the same about Ilicic, really intelligent footballer.
