Such a shame, especially Kulusevski could've been very useful

No point qualifying for CL if we get knocked out in Group stages and so Tuesday's match more important than Bournemouth or Liverpool. Glad Kula and Richie not back but want them Tuesday. Think from comments Romero will also be rested. We need to be able to get a result with a rotated squad.
Lloris,
Sanchez, Dier, Lenglet,
Emerson, Skipp, Bentancur, Bissouma, Sess
Son, Kane

The dreaded axis of dumbfuckery on the right side with Dav and Royal. Never confident seeing that.

I agree with your comment but do not expect Spence to get picked and do not think Doherty or Romero will be risked as neither are yet able to play 2 matches a week. Some of our problems are the tiredness of the players as shown with Romero and Hojbjerg situations.
 
The tech itself could/should be better...... The money and capability is there for a Hawkeye-style automated offsides system..... Which begs the question; why still persist with this antiquated BS and why is the next phase still only SEMI-automatic?

With the apparent insistence on retaining human influence over offsides, its hard not to smell a rat.
Difficult to automate the 'was that a deflection or did he play the ball deliberately bit'. The other stuff is already automated in CL, Hawkeye-style, and superior to manual line drawing. World Cup system will be even more accurate. So, it's likely Kane's goal was immediately flagged as offside. But VAR agonised over whether the deflection was in fact a deliberate action.

Fed up with Son.
Lucas is shit
Gil isnt gonna start
Richie and Kulu injured
Romero to replace Dier if he's not rested

Just tell Doc and Perisic to keep crossing for Kane

OK the "deliberately" thing still falls into the realms of human subjectivity, but everything else beyond just the line drawing should be computerised..... Player & ball tracking etc

That MS-paint job doing the rounds this week was utter 'crayon' nonsense; like something out of the dark ages.

The money is there at the top of the game; so spend up and get a grip.

Simple, relatively inexpensive solution: fit all VAR game boots with sensor that covers the sole. Change the law so you have to be more than a boot length in front of the last but one opponent or the ball.

Would be near instantaneous and rule out the "toenail" calls.

Probably too simple for the various powers that be.
 
The Kulusevski situation is getting incredibly annoying

I said it half jokingly a few weeks back that I didn’t think he’d be back before the World Cup (actually Christmas, but same thing). That now seems more realistic as each week passes

Probably loads of answers with the right brains at the helm.....

We're not far off having realtime skeletal player-tracking stats tech being rolled out for home use; so adapt that tech in conjunction with the line drawing tech and boom... Job done.
 
So then on Saturday Bournemouth.
Scored 10 goals, scored 25 goals.
Should be a clear thing, the third is playing against the 14th.
Think it goes without saying that we take the 14th seriously and have respect for him.
If we then concentrate on the task from the first to the last second, then I think we'll have an away win.

As always, I'll keep my fingers crossed and won't get back to you before 18:00 (GMT), maybe the VAR is still looking...! (0:2)
