Wolves will have a hard enough time beating Liverpool today without a VAR disallowed goal by a gnat whisker.  Shet has to change.  What bullshet

I agree, I hate that VAR disallows good goals by a red-headed c@nt hair of a toe's length.

But the fact is that that is what they've been doing for every team this season (Liverpool have lost two important goals this season because of "armpits" being offside and others because the head or the foot were off the length of a gnat-whisker... been there, done that).  And, by the way the league has been "measuring" it all season, the Wolverhampton player's toe *was* "off".

They need to change it so that offside on VAR is only called if it is clear and obvious that either the foot or the head are offside.  If it is only "millimeters" of "offside", then fug that poo.

But, again, they shouldn't change it now because that's the way they've been judging it for all teams all season now.  Change it for Summer 2020.

I don’t disagree by the letter of the rule but some of these rulings are brutal as you stated.  Just dont like it the way it is right now.

They better fix this VAR bullshit. It's ruining the game. At least the way it's currently being applied.

I could get behind this idea. Also agree that it should wait until next season, but I'm sure they've been and will be reevaluating a lot of things over the next several months in regards to VAR. It's still a recent addition, and everyone and their brother is still getting accustomed.

Offside should be based on legs and not the body like who’s middle finger is longer.

I'd go one further and say foot position, and as tiger said earlier, egregiously further up the pitch. This way, neither tall nor short guys have an advantage depending on the situation.

Arteta is doing impossible.

It was nice to see Arsenal so much more organized and playing better.  Arsenal is the one London team that I can stand pulling for, lol.

My Reds were a damn machine yesterday against a pretty darned good Sheffield squad.  Best performance of the season for them by far, IMO.

Gonna be nice to finally get Fabhino and the two injured, senior center-backs (Matip and Lovren) back soon.

Liverpool is so dominant right now.  They are getting boring with just winning every fuggin game.  lol.  Amazing what they are doing.

Gonna be fielding a lot of youngsters in the FA tie this weekend though... Klopp keeping his eye on the PL and CL balls exclusively at this point.
