Decent game so far.

Can see why they have been better defensively and getting results this season.

Rogers a threat but too often makes the wrong decision.

The ref and his mate at the Stockley Park blind school are dismal. But we're well used to it at this stage.

If the first prat misses the incident the second should def pick it up.

It's obvious VAR are doing their best not to overrule on-field decisions this season, but all it means it more WRONG decisions.  If the ref tells VAR, "I saw a tug, but it wasn't enough to go down" then it's not getting overruled.  But if he said "I saw a tug, but he let go before they got in the box" then it does get overruled.  Which I understand, but it's incredibly frustrating because VAR are deciding to interfere, or not, based on what the ref is telling them he saw, and we're not hearing that bit.

Having seen all the replays I'll be upset if Emery doesn't complain about that, it's a fucking awful decision.

Biggest disappointment is our midfield, other than Bouba they're all on holiday or going through the motions at best.

McGinn's contribution has been minimal so far.

Tielemans and McGinn have barely shown up.

They’re pretty physical though, Forest, we’ve not won many 50-50s in the midfield, Kamara aside, perhaps.

They've managed to now make VAR pretty much pointless with the new directive.

Would be nice if these gormless individuals had to front up after a game and explain their thinking. Rather than Dermot Gallagher having to defend the indefensible.

In any other industry if you make bad decision after bad decision you'll come a cropper.

These berks will just carry on and do the same shit next week.

If you showed me that incident with any two teams involved I would say it's a clear and obvious error so why can't these clowns?

McGinn's touched the ball three times in the last 25 minutes.

Long thought the VAR should be a totally separate organisation to the refs. Mates checking mates homework will never be a good thing. With today's tech, could even farm it out to other countries.
