Liverpool's horrible pitch almost won them the game due to slips by Ødegaard and Zinchenko, but it ended up injuring Tsimikas, putting Saka and Gravenberch in danger, and possibly injuring Diaz too. They can only have themselves to blame. dailycannon.com/2023/12/anfiel…

I would only use VAR for three things: 1) Goaline technology and ball in/out of play. This is an objective decision with the right tech in place. 2) Semi-automated offsides. This is an objective decision with the right tech in place. 3) Off the ball incidents. VAR can only intervene if the referee has not seen something rather than change a subjective decision they have already made. For example, the Bruno forearm smash of Jorginho. I would focus more efforts/resources on upskilling referees so they can make the right calls such as the foul on Gabriel, as they are becoming too reliant on technology to bail them out and it’s actually worsening decision making. Effectively you have men in a box somewhere re-refereeing the game.

Foden had the floor all to himself on Sunday with Saka out injured and he still failed to impress. Why does Saka have to put in 10x the work to get half the praise Foden gets?
