Shout out to the set piece coach finally getting us scoring from corners. Thats all i have to say.

Yes absolutely

Being regular scorers from set pieces is so underrated, it can carry you so much over a season

The old good Chelsea teams were great at it and Arsenal rely on it to an extreme extent. If we can be dangerous in open play and dangerous from set pieces we'll be a genuine menace that everyone will dread to play. How it should be.

Santos also so hopefully Lavia is ready to start fresh with Enzo. 

Anyone know if Lavia is actually fit? 

Maybe Essugo gets minutes

Second half was better but can't take too many positives from today because we were thoroughly outplayed and were only able to get some control after being gifted a healthy lead. Won't happen in most games 

Thats a bit harsh

Joao Pedro was good, Estevao was good on the wing, Caicedo held the midfield even though he only had 1 training session during the week. 

Losing Colwill to injury is showing though, feel like we need that type of player in defense.

I don’t even know what injury Lavia has this time.  But Maresca said not ready after the international break

Cant say we were outplayed at all, they had good opening 20 minutes but after that we were on top but there a still a lot of work to do if we expect to challenge for a top 4. Big injuries already are not helping the cause obviously.

Did not create anything 

The ambition should be challenging for the league and this group is far from it 

[Mário César 1,326]

second was ok and the first one was bad

We need to understand the circunstance of the game. Ofc, with 2-0, we need to control and not necessary attack, attack, and attack

There you go, pgmol have acknowledged that their goal should have counted

This whole VAR thing is a complete travesty....We need to get back to allowing basic human error as they are looking at video images and still getting things not just wrong but horribly wrong. You see less errors at step 4/5 of English football than you do the PL, it's without technology and solely relies on officials using their skill set and judgement of the game.

For the PGMOL to immediately apologies within hours of the game finishing it says a hell of a lot. Howard Webb has a serious job on his hands trying to sort this mess out. You have a senior in the VAR room alongside an aid, and if the aid states he thinks it isn't a foul etc it will be over ruled so the VAR room is a big a mess as the actual running of VAR.

Whole raison d'etre of VAR was to eliminate ambiguity.

Its done nothing of the sort

[Bluepower777 37]

Jumping on a players foot has aways been considered a serious foul even in my rougher days. I think the controversy is mainly about var and the way it's been utilized.  Also the way that moron Silva behaves on the sidelines has an influence on easily swayed fans.

Also, if your talking about soft decisions take a look at the penalty Barca got last night
