[FA Cup 3rd Rnd] Liverpool 2-2 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[Tony Towner]

As disappointed as I am I don't mind the disallowed goal, the linesman gave it, Sheff Wed scored one that was off today and without VAR it stood, much better imo.

My abiding thought after watching that is how much I hate Bruno Lage and all those who enabled that idiot to be our manager for so long. Thank god we have someone competent in charge now

 

[Alan]

I know. Alan’s thread was definitely started before Bear’s…

Unfortunately there wasn't a camera angle that showed it...

 

[Wolvensam]

Also tonight what was noticeable was no matter whether we were 1-0, 1-1 or 2-1 down, nothing really changed - we stuck to our game and we haven’t done that since Nuno. There was no panic.

The switch to a back three was much smoother tonight too and the substitutions didn’t disrupt the game or game plan whatsoever.

 

[HanDoJin]

Every one of our team looked like they gave a shit, like the result actually mattered to them. Even Guedes. Adama was pressing. No chance that happens pre-Lop.

Genuinely excited to see what he can conjure up over 20 league games now

 

[Wolf Hunting]

When I saw the line up, my heart sank. This a B team..
But what a performance!
Lop is a cracking manager to get the lads to perform like this.

If the linesman can see through 18 players to see that Nunes was off side receiving the ball back from the Hwang header then I’m a Glaswegian.

Wouldn't need to see through players if he's made the correct decision, he'll have an open passage to look through and see Nunes as the most advanced player on the far side. Be interesting to see if any other camera angles do appear.

If they know that there are “blind spots” VAR surely shouldn’t be in use for any decisions. Scrap it off.

 

[Alan]

Do what football does here: put cameras at the base of the corner flags (we put them in the pylons, so similar at least).

No, it wouldn't perfectly clear up today's offside decision, but at least we'd actually be able to see Matheus. Like, at all.

Or make the assistants wear body cams. Something.

That’s unfair. Why would they have thought there’d be a need to review decisions in the box? They can’t have cameras everywhere

Does seem odd to attempt to use it if you know there are gaps in the coverage, unless it's a broken camera creating the gap then you wouldn't know until it's too late.

 

[ROVERT47]

The bloke never sits down and is constantly barking. It’s wonderful to see.

Ha, I was whinging about Arteta spending most of the game virtually on the pitch, I’m gonna have to take it back now.

 

[The Bear]

Who'd have thought they'd need a camera looking directly along less than 12 yards from the goal line?!!

 

[malta mick]

Salad was clearly offside when Robertson crossed. How VAR couldn’t see it !!
Thought Nunes looked the player we expected him to be, even Guedes had a decent game. 2 defensive errors gifted their goals but overall thought we played well. Thought Raul is a yard too slow now and Cunha didn’t impress me.

 

[Tony Towner]

It's obviously a camera issue rather than there not being one there

 

[The Saturday Boy]

I don’t agree with VAR existing so it was offside, official gave it. End of.

Great game to watch, good performance. Next

 

[Loki]

Thought we were going to get hammered, proud of that performance from the team. our keeper had far less to do than theirs which says it all. Sum up the game in one word? Robbed. Only negative, if a big club doesn`t come in for Ruben after watching that then they need to look at their scouting team.

Lop is a cracking manager for reversing the Lage shit show.

 

[The Bear]

I didn't think Nunes was that great tbh. Often turned into blind channels centrally and gave the ball away a couple of times.

Feel sorry for you if you can’t see how good he is.

 

[AndyWolves]

Why the fuck did the linesman flag anyway, theyre only supposed to give the most obvious of obvious decisions
