Positively beautiful verdict thread

Because then we're asking Semedo to sacrifice some of his forward positioning.

It's the difference between playing a 3-4-3 and a 5-2-3.

Utter rubbish - I’m talking about actual positions he was in yesterday - he was already defending but could have been more robust in his tackles and blocks.

As an aside I bit my tongue when Leanders shot hit the bar, still sore today, but I'm powering through

My aside, I'd just been saying Dendoncker doesn't score enough (the commentators had just said he was a goal scoring threat). As he hit the bar I'll take that as confirmation I'm correct.

Dendoncker seemed to get forward more yesterday than he has before - has a decent shot on him & unlucky not to get something.

Probably needs to do more of that.

He did, it was noticible. I think he tried to break forward more vs Newcastle as well, there just wasn't much space for him as Newcastle were much more solid than Palace.

I thought Donck had a great game (most did) and was really unlucky not to get a goal. I had him down as a MotM contender to be honest.

Really don't have the patience for this other than to say that I disagree.

That’s a shame - I was looking forward to someone trying to justify why they don’t want one of their players to tackle or block better.

We all like them mate, it's just we unanimously agreed never to tell you

Patently not what I said, but do carry on arguing with yourself.

There is a way to disagree without being an ass.

It’s Booz’s second profile so his first one gets a few likes...

Excellent idea.

You have to remember that in 'real time' Atkinson didn't even think it was a foul, and had to be guided by VAR.

Personally, I thought Millivovavitch was unlucky, and the interpretation of the Law was harsh.

Consistency is the key for me, as with all aspects of VAR.

A slight corrective. Atkinson didn't think it was a red card offence during the play but he did signal advantage (allowing Wolves to continue with possession),which means he did regard the tackle as a foul.

 

[The Bear]

I watched the highlights last night and he definitely didn't raise his arms to play advantage.

You are right, Bear. I was thinking of another incident. Makes me wonder how Atkinson could change his mind so much when he hadn't thought it was a foul in the first instance.

Because he watched it again and realise he’d dropped an absolute clanger!

I do think that is what VAR is for though. When a ref misses a shocker and that was a poor miss. It was a clear foul straight off and looks bloody awful in slow mo, bad in real time. Atkinson should have spotted it and given a yellow first time. He would then have been in a position to upgrade to a red without looking a complete knob or he could have stuck with a yellow and defended that position. Personally I think VAR got it right and its a red.

 

[t3ch]

there are a lot of points to debate from the match, it being a red isn't one of them

also seems odd to criticize a ref for using VAR to appropriately correct a call. they're gonna sometimes get things wrong, that's literally what it's supposed to be there for.
