All the papers reporting an incident during the game where Howe apparently screams blue murder from the touchline at our Jacob for failing to close down his man.

Not classy. He’s really having a bit of a nightmare there.

Would have him back at Villa Park in a flash if we werent caught up in this accounting trickery.

It’s funny that it’s Man City having a goal disallowed but there was no way the keeper was getting that whether Haaland was offside or not.

Is that the rule? If he’s offside then he’s clearly stopping the defender/goalie being able to try and save the shot.
My question is whether we are applying the 5cm rule today.
VAR has said it was for Haaland being in an offside position and preventing the Newcastle player from closing down Semenyo. Quite why they decided it was acceptable to spend over six minutes looking at it is unclear at this point. VAR is a joke.

How VAR is used is a joke, the tech behind it is fine.

Well at least Murphy might be out for our league match.

Livramento also out of our match(es) after an injury in the FA Cup the weekend.
