I think that they're annoyed because two massive VAR decisions went against them.
Gibbs-White isn't getting near the ball, regardless of what Areola does, so it probably feels harsh.
It's not harsh and it's a bad decision by Areola, but I get where they're coming from.
Correct decision though, 100%.
I'd be more questioning of the offside to stop them going 2-0 up, to be honest.
I've not seen a good close-up replay, but the defender tackles and makes the ball go wide.
That's not a forward pass from a teammate, as far as I can see.

Should've just been Liverpool, where this isn't offside:

Richarlison would get about 50 goals a ****ing season...
Glasner?
Sack a 3-4-3 manager who slags off the board to hire... a 3-4-3 manager who slags off the board?
Don't get me wrong, he's a very capable coach.
You should've brought him in when you had Ralf Rangnick and gone for an overhaul, though.
The owners are just throwing darts in the dark, I think.
Regarding the Wirtz goal at Fulham, I've been hearing people say there's supposedly a 5cm tolerance in favour of the attacker when decisions are that tight.
It's the first I've heard of this - has anyone been able to verify whether that's true?
Badge check...
I've heard of it before but I've never seen it referred to in relation to a specific goal.
They talked about it when using thicker lines on VAR decisions, then got rid of the lines for a bit.
If the Wirtz goal decision went the other way, then the officials would be in hiding.
I don’t think many options work if they are just a coach, rather than a manager. Glasner has the players to make 3-4-3 work at Palace and he’s been very good at getting the best out of those players in that system. I think he will be capable of playing a different formation or style at Utd and working out what suits the players available best. Both him and Emery are smart and able to adapt and have PL experience - that’s what appeals. Iraola fits the bill too.
Utd have spent vast sums on players and that can’t continue indefinitely. Fortunately, the last transfer window resulted in some decent recruitment - most notably Cunha and Mbeumo. A new manager (or coach even) will probably have to work with the players already at the club bar a couple of signings in the summer, unless funds can be raised from any sales. I believe Glasner would be up to that task; he has kept Palace going forward despite losing key players. There isn’t a pot of money available for a cheque book manager - not that the current profile of the club would lead to one being recruited anyway.

Interesting hearing the terms of Endrick's loan from Los Ladrones to Lyon: the loan fee is €1m...unless he plays, because every five games he starts the loan fee decreases by €200k
Definitely feels like something we should consider with our youngsters, so for example if we had a flat rate of £500k to loan a striker to a Championship team with the fee decreasing based on starts, Oxford would be a decent way along to halving what they would owe us for Will Lankshear while Stoke would be paying the full fee for Jamie Donley

After the results tonight that's surely the title for Arsenal to throw away now.
One game at a time, hermano.
All eyes on beating Liverpool tomorrow. Then we can have conversations about the title
Nah all settled for me. It would take one hell of an implosion for that not to happen, and I just can't see that happening..One game at a time, hermano.

Lol, nice try with the jinx, but RCL tried this many a time and I never fell for it.
Not going to count my chickens just yet. I've supported this club long enough to know that. Been burned too many times...
We're in an advantageous position, though. That is undeniable.
It’s too early to predict the title - we are a little more than halfway there. Nobody foresaw City drawing three games in a row. There may be similar troubles ahead for Arsenal for all we know.
Having said that, it’s hard to see a strong Arsenal team losing it from here.
The Chuckle Brothers race for 4th is far more interesting.

Sorry but I'd be astonished if they don't win it now, although I agree the 4th place one is interesting. Brentford up to 5th tonight....
Arteta shown a yellow for persistently leaving his technical area.
I swear something fat and pink just flew past my window.

Amazed nobody has "accidentally" elbowed him by now
The time he practically tackled one of our players would have been a good opportunity for that
I'm no fan of Everton or Michael Keane, but a 3 match ban confirmed by a panel for a 'hair pull' seems excessive. I'm totally with Moyes on his reaction.
Apparently seen by the young ref but VAR decided to get involved and put the ref in an invidious position by sending to the TV monitor.

5cm for suitably large measures of 5cm. Are they claiming that 5cm is actually measurable in the system? It's not very far on the ground (not as far as that still from the match seems). People assume so, they kind of imply that the system is precise. But I'm still not convinced that the measure of when the ball is played is that precise, and garbage in garbage out and all that. But a fraction of a second difference in determining when the ball is played means quite a difference when the ball is received, more than 5cm I would suggest. And I haven't heard of that rule either. But I'm shocked, shocked I tells ya, that it's been applied to a Liverpool decision.
