on positive side: no VAR

Unfortunately star player becoming a star manager is rather an exception than a rule. It's too early to make any conclusions yet, but there is a number of things missing. It's not just Ward's unexpected appearance in starting XI, but mainly missing ideas how we should play. We are giving the ball cheaply, not being able to create anything. Quite often players on the ball have no options as there is no movement from others (possibly except Jamie). As a result we push ball back and lose it at some point. Just watched final part of TOT-LIV game - applicable for both teams: as soon as any player has the ball - almost everyone around him is starting to move offering options. We do this rarely. Then strange substitutions, like today's Buonanotte one. This guy is able to bring some excitement to the frontline - he should play at least whole second half if not from the beginning. Defence is far from perfect as we know but RVN continues to play same settings without even trying to change anything. Wondering how he'll address Anfield's game. Some people may not like this, but true is that last decent LCFC's manager, having a vision of what he wants to play and how was Enzo. But let's wait for few more matches...

Rogers?

Correct me if wrong, but It's a strange interpretation of rules. Yellow card already given. Ref is using VAR to make penalty/no penalty decision. He is clearly not using it to decide between red and yellow card. So completely missing how this VAR check could be turned into red card decision, unless there were two sequential VAR checks we don't know about?
