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

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

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.
