The reality of this season's that teams like wolves and sheffield United are putting us to shame: hungry and have a good formation even if they don't have so called world class players. They play to their strengths and with intensity and passion

Depends... If the lines are drawn as per a deceptive camera angle then not. As far as I know, that's very much perceived as part of the bigger VAR debate atm. Much like arms and shoulders currently being measured from a skewed perspective against a drawn line at pitch level
I genuinely didn't realise some FA Cup games had V.A.R this weekend, and some didn't...
I think they have VAR at home games for EPL teams but nowhere else. It does seem not right, either every game has it or none.I genuinely didn't realise some FA Cup games had V.A.R this weekend, and some didn't...
Surely that can't be right/fair?
It's gotta be all or nothing, surely?
Otherwise it's luck of the draw TWICE, depending on what ground you're playing in?
VAR may well have chalked off their goal... it may not have... but it certainly would've been unfair to go out via a goal that may have been chalked off on another ground!
Fucking glad we equalised now!
yes you, you said the passing didn’t amount to much. I agree, but that doesn’t mean it’s pointless, sometimes it gets squandered and sometimes the opposition just don’t come out, open up and make it easy.
Still don't think we dominated...we controlled pointless areas of the pitch and didn't dominate anything tbh
Jose getting serious
I thought that although it looks skewed it was all calibrated to be viewed from the angle of the cameras which negates the skew?
Google is your friend.What happened? I just finished playing a match
I read that Championship grounds aren’t set up for it.I genuinely didn't realise some FA Cup games had V.A.R this weekend, and some didn't...

I don’t think that’s completely fair (although I do get your drift).
We actually controlled the midfield. I honestly can’t remember the last time we did that. Yes, it was a champo side, but we had something resembling a defence that passed the ball through midfield, and then on to the attack.
Our problem was that the recognised this, sat deep and our forwards squandered most opportunities.
Giving up those pointless areas would have seen a much more even game with them launching far more long balls at us and putting us under pressure.
We did ok.

Even beside that, it's a ignorant quote of the highest order. Middlesbrough would sign every single one of the players we fielded if it were possible for them, and every single one of them would waltz into Boro's first team. We should win that match 10/10 times - the players and the manager failed, and it's not because Harry fucking Kane wasn't there to save us. We aren't the "Harry Kane team". Cunt quote from Jose.Absolute Gobshite from José.
He could have, like, played the 18yo highly rated international striker on our bench and taken off Dele fucking Alli, who would rather design baseball caps or rock up a nightclub than play a game of football.
GLC looks like a frightened little mouse
