I disagree. Tony Bloom wants the team to be the best and his way will get it there. De Zerbi's strategy is not going to make the team the best, maybe for a season or two, but then we will crash an burn. But that's ok as he will have left.

I would expect the club to sign him on a longer contract with a view to coaching. Especially after Lallana leaves. Can't see anyone offering a few that would tempt us to sell - he is one of the top midfielders in the EPL and will command a big fee.

Because the standard of referees in the epl is way behind other countries. Increasing the pipeline will increase competition and increase standards.

It would definitely help attract more people, and if there are more people and more competition for jobs that should drive a higher standard. It also feels a bit weird to have people on £100k a year lay down the law for people paid £100k a week. Is that not a bit wrong? If we expect the players...

We all know the rea$on.

To address the pipeline issue maybe pay them more? If you compare the money the players are on with the referees the referees are paid a tiny fraction of the amount. Pay them well and put in place rigorous fitness and training regimes. It will help a lot.

Surely if the officials are doing their jobs the substitution would not be allowed to happen until the check is completed. All the officials in the ground would know they are looking at something so the game pauses. That means no substitution would occur until the check is completed.

I don't know how many times it needs to be said but: the solution is better referees and officials. Pay them more and invest in training and have some actual accountability for mistakes. It's EPL level soccer with part time standard officiating. They are not fit for purpose currently. It doesn't...

Those stats are not the right ones. Using them in this context is essentially trolling by that Twitter account. All that shows is decisions overturned by VAR. What it does not illustrate is incorrect decisions by VAR - like various incorrect lines for offside. Inconsistent decisions like today's...

Lol. Ok. Explain all the decisions they get then. Explain the lack of punishments for financial cheating.

No they can't. They are corrupt in favor of the big 6 where the money is.

The referee won't like this!

I see the big 6 money men have got to you as well. Check in the mail?

Defense ability can take experience and time. He may develop into a very good fullback yet.

Not so sure. Are you suggesting VAR gave the Adingra penalty and the ref ignored it? Can't see why hey wouldn't give it. There are countless examples of the same thing being given as a penalty.
