I was thinking it but didn’t want to say it! Despite conceding straight after taking the lead they have looked more solid than we have so far. I don’t see them conceding 4 in the second half.
Overturned. Ref agreed with me having seen the replays. More of a dive from the Brighton player and minor contact was initiated by the Brighton player. VAR used well for that.
Can I take this back? This is very Saints vs Spurs. Two disallowed Man Utd goals too. Rashford to do a Son?
We're only two weeks into the new season, so the sample size is incredibly small. But already VAR seems to be working so much better than last season. Then again, that's hardly a surprise. Now that the referees can use the monitor regularly, and now that they're a year more experienced. I'm sure there will still be bad moments throughout the season, but as time goes on (years, not weeks), the general use should hopefully only go up and up. As I said from the outset.
