Liege's mid block is very difficult to play through. In that situation we have to stretch the play, which we did a couple of times then went back to trying to force it through the impossible block! Kent , Morelos and Roofe need to get on their bikes. We also need to work out who marks the winger and fullback - I thought our FBs messed it up. Tavernier seemed to be marking the wingback and leaving the wingers free - same with Barisic.

Really poor start from us, but I think that's more to do with Liege's approach than us - although we've taken a long time to get to grips with them, and been a bit lethargic and tame in challenges. Our defending has been terrible. Their wingers are constantly in space. Got out of jail at the end with the Penalty. It was a Penalty but it's harsh. I thought we were starting to get to grips with them, and created a couple of good chances towards the end of the half. We need to buck up defensively and find a way to play through (or over the top) them.

De Gea's had an eventful week with Ross County. -
Name checks out.

That only relates to penalties or offsides, because there is a correct and an incorrect decision, going by the letter of the law. VAR always gets it correct. You can be critical of the rules -- which I am -- but VAR itself is not the issue.

Clear and obvious error.

The disallowed Watkins goal last night is the longest I've ever seen VAR take. The ball went in at 90:47, and the decision was made at 93:13. Two and a half minutes it took them. They got the offside correct. The problem was the defender was actually fouling him at the time. It should've been a penalty! Again, VAR is not the issue, it's the rules. It is completely human error: They're so focused on the offside, that they miss the foul!

I don't think even you know what you're trying to say.
-
So, you don't want to wait 5 seconds on a VAR decision on a key event like an offside or penalty, but you think it should be used every time a player goes to ground?
-
I just seen that they've been beaten 5 times in 10 games? Is that right? Horrendous run. My issue is that none of those defeats were in the league, which is all that matters to me. Glass half empty.

Me. I'm a woman's blouse. I'm uncomfortable gloating this early. It's too much like counting your chickens before they've hatched. I'd prefer to leave it all until season's end.

I'm uncomfortable with this gloating. Lennon might go, and best case is they're just how they are now. They're still a danger. We're only 5 points ahead. -
Salah was offside. Robertson clips the attacker, Referee misses it and VAR cleans it up. The Referee is made aware of the potential penalty and he goes across to view the screen, and makes the call. Soft? Maybe, but it's the Referee's call. VAR worked the way it was supposed to. What's the issue?

When?

Crystal Palace annoy me. Crystal Palace are one of those clubs that always show me up. Whenever I want them to lose, they win; whenever I want them to win, they lose. They get a lot of plaudits for taking points of better teams, but then... lose to Newcastle?!
