We left that nonsense behind decades ago Like someone standing in the pen area but not doing anything but the defenders and goal keeper plus the officials will be having to keep an eye on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one reason why I think it should just be left as it is. We need to stay consistent because people will then start moaning ‘last season that would/wouldn’t have been a goal’ and all the rest. Maybe if VAR was proven to be used quicker then it might work Yeah it needs to be quicker, how many times have people watched a game seen the replay a couple of times and made a decision it’s like the Mahrez incident the other day, you could see straight away his foot had been stood on which is currently deemed a foul this season VAR looked at it for a full 3 minutes to make the same decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will have to accept well less than the quoted 40 million this time, he won't want to spend another season in the Championship, his biggest suitor (spurs) now unlikely to go for him. And his little bromance with madders and chilwell, could all lead to us getting him for closer to 20/25 million. He would give us something a little different as he Carries the ball a little quicker than madders. Although thought madders was good when he came on yesterday. Absolutely no chance Grealish goes for 20/25m. They'll want £60m, someone will offer £40m and they'll agree somewhere in between. I'd love him here, he's top quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 Moyes did save West Ham from a similar position 2 years ago so you can see why they have gone for him again. But West Ham are such a laughing stock of a football club with their athletics stadium, scattergun transfer policy and clueless ownership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggers Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 7 hours ago, pmcla26 said: Wouldn’t mind that, each team has a couple of players at least that would be worth having a look at in the summer: Grealish Mings (meh could do worse for centre back cover I guess) Jamal Lewis if Fuchs departs as an understudy for Chilwell Cantwell + Buendia possibly but not sure Ake Callum Wilson Some decent players there, Grealish the standout one and Ake and Wilson good too. Pukki would make the list but with Kel at the minute playing the way he is I don’t think he’s necessary. TLDR: “I’d be happy to see Leicester go backwards” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why there's so much emphasis on British managers as if they are the only people who "know the league". Guardiola and Klopp had never played or managed in the league before they came here and have since made it like they went to Scotland to manage Celtic and Rangers. It's all bullshit a bit like 'Arry Redknapp discrediting all these staticians who think they know a player as "all a load of rubbish". The likes of panelists on Sky like Cottee, etc are just dinosaurs who the game has passed by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of panelists on Sky like Cottee, etc are just dinosaurs who the game has passed by. The managers are one part of the problem, short-term thinking by the respective boards the other. What Klopp and Guardiola have going in their favour is patience and time. West Ham are notoriously bad for not giving managers enough time to put their stamp on the style of play and to bring in the necessary reinforcements. Look at what Liverpool and Manchester City have been able to accomplish in the space of 48 months. Similar situation at Watford until now, I hope Pearson is allowed to stay there for a few years.

I love Nigel Pearson, an absolute legend. I think (and hope) Watford do amazingly now. I think West Ham will be gutted that they have missed a trick on Big Nige.

Anybody who thinks Grealish is a prospective signing is either on supergreat medication or suffering from a serious cranial trauma. The fact that you can write this after his display yesterday would indicate I may be wrong, you could be permanently drunk instead. If so, well done to your liver as it’s working harder than your brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want someone who knows the club inside out and will give them passion on the sidelines they should go for Julian Dicks. Be great when they get relegated and you see “Dicks out!” Banners all over east London and 40 odd thousand chanting it on a Saturday afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non of this arm put to knee rubbish. I think this is the best idea, VAR can only change a decision based on where on the pitch the feet are placed. Surely then they could make it very accurate and it would provide something tangible to view in terms of 'clear and obvious' or 'daylight' (as there is only so far any human can lean before falling).

Its taking the joy out of the game. Surely this is easy to sort out, why don't linesmen/women have the same technology on their wrist that tells the referee the ball has crossed the line for a goal? e.g. right wrist ball has crossed the line for a throw in their half, left wrist ball has crossed the at their end for a goal kick (keep the cross the line for a goal to the ref only)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Goober Posted 29 December 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 29 December 2019 Grealish is a quality footballer. People don't rate him because he passed out pissed up in the street once and has a nancyboy haircut. If Villa go down he'll be snapped up by one of the big boys. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100%. There will be anomalies where the feet are onside but a player scores with their (offside) head but I prefer that to when a player scores with their feet but it is disallowed for an offside armpit. Easier to check as well. Also tell the Assistant Refs once and for all the keep their f*$%ing flags down unless they are absolutely certain it is offside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone doubts his talent and most of us can forgive his past behaviour, haircut etc but I would have concerns about his attitude. The minute things go wrong he runs around like a headless chicken badgering the ref and looking for someone to kick. Maybe Brendan could coach that side out of him, who knows? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manini Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 Grealish will be mustard for somebody but not sure it’ll be us. He strikes me as the type of player Rodgers would like to work with but not sure we’ll pay Villa’s asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the player is leaning forward as he makes a run and then goes on to score with his head, which would have been ruled offside if that part of his body was ahead of the last defender?

One Arm Babba Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 I think Grealish is the perfect option for us if we want to improve the starting 11 in place of Barnes. It’d probably take 50+ in January though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
