Yeah if VAR had overturned that would have made him look a twat. refs union. 

no point even looking at it is there, I mean what the **** is the point of it

 

pawson is a gimp

[Bazly]

If Everton lose tonight they will be bottom 3 and Watford can have their manager back.

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

I like Delafou every time I see him play. I think he would be a good buy for us.

Very poor.  Let's hope the normal second half side comes out that are more on it.  Playing like we think the result will just happen with minimal effort.

I know it’s been frustrating mate but that’s all it is, frustrating. There’s no lack of effort stop being ridiculous. They’re playing with two banks of 4 as deep as they can get and Deeney has spent more time defending than he has attacking. That says it all. Patience!  

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Not a great half but we're still making Watford chase a lot, they will tire, and they don't look particularly menacing.

 

I'd back us to win this 2nd half. 2-0.

 

Might be worth putting Praet on for Tielemans IMO but sure BR has a plan.

[Benji]

VAR was brought in for exactly that type of incident.  I don't blame the ref for not giving it in real time, but VAR has to step in there.  What I will say is Pawson should not be booking Vardy before VAR confirms it's a dive.  There is clear contact so it can't possibly be a dive and now we're in the amazing position that Vardy has been booked and there's no penalty - how can that possibly be the end result of that incident?

 

Incompetent muppets.

[Legend_in_blue]

As for VAR, if that's Mane, a penalty is given.

 

The inconsistency on these penalty decisions is a disgrace and the system is being abused by so called officials.

[Chester Dontlie]

Need more intensiteeeeee!!!

Perez not bad but very wasteful with his chances. Hope to see Nacho at 60 mins. Would like to see MA for Barnes too

[Dahnsouff]

Wish Gray was fit. (Shame on me for my doubts)

[Tanya]

Very poor from us. We need to freshen up and use some of our subs early on.

 

Wilf is peerless as usual though. Where would we be without him?

[Tuna]

Completely robbed their by the bungling officials.

 

Watford have made it very difficult for us though and we need to up the intensity in the second half.

 

Wonder how long it will be before we bring on Nacho.

[ClaphamNorthFox]

What is the point of VAR! 

[egg_fried_rice]

Pawson absolutely dreadful as always. How can the VAR person look at that and not give a penalty?

 

Perez should've scored twice, looks short of confidence. Barnes probably been our biggest threat but we're struggling to break down the low block. 

 

Onwards and upwards in the second half - I think we'll come good if we persevere, just need to be careful not to get caught on the counter.

[Guest Col city fan]

We look jaded. Except Fuchs who was brilliant.

It’s here where a little squad ‘rotation’ might be useful. Tielemans and Perez particularly look tired.

[sishades]

Worst half of the season...too slow, and too much passing back. At least the U21 are winning and Norwich are losing!

[Tanya]

Completely agree. I actually rate most premier league refs but Pawson is having an awful game so far. 

[ozleicester]

 liv 1-0

[GeorgeTheFox]

VAR needs to be taken out of the hands of the refs.. it's obvious they're against it so get some new blood in who are going to use it properly so the game can progress

[LESTA-1884]

Mid table standard match with a mid table nothing to play for end of season atmosphere.

To p!ss us all off. 

[Guest Manini]

VAR on the other hand, is just ridiculous! 
 

So whoever is watching the monitor has seen that incident and has ruled that Pawson hasn’t made a clear and obvious error? Even if it’s not a pen, why was the yellow card not rescinded? It’s not a dive is it?! 

[Jimothy]

Ridiculous decision from Pawson, couldn't wait to get the yellow card out. But the fact VAR has up held his decision is even worse. It was meant to eradicate shit like this.

Already one down. They are truly dire.

[Tielemans63]

Graeme Le Saux and Owen Hargreaves can get ****ed 

[LESTA-1884]

Oh well Liverpool 1-0 up.
