I guess they need squad fillers. Højbjerg seemed to me to be the dream Puel player. Bet Puel would love a midfield of him and Mendy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is you are either offside or you are not. You either scrap VAR for offside or you go with its decision. In the majority of cases it has been correct. All you do is move the point of argument, if you give 10 cm leeway where does the 10 cm start? people are going to be arguing it's not 10cms to his toenail instead! The other option is we default go with lino decisions unless one of the captains asks for a review, maybe the reviews could be limited per game? Handball is the bigger issue for me. We had about 10 handball penalties not given for us and about 3/4 the exact same handball given against us (surprisingly mainly for big clubs). Also dives, Vardy goes down in box booked called a diving cheat by pundits, Fenandez or Mane it's a penalty and the pundits say they have been 'clever'. Football has a fundamental bias to the big clubs who already have a huge resource advantage, I am not sure if its intentional or a unconscious but it there and with refs and VAR too. Its absolutely repulsive watching Sky and their big six wankfest. People say it's all because the big six are the biggest audience draw, actually that is wrong the other 66 clubs combined have a bigger audience and if the fans of those clubs get sick of the game, the product is gone. Only the fans of the big six will care about the big six super league. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one against Chelsea before the break when Madison crossed the ball behind the Chelsea defender who puts his hand behind him to stop the ball. Not a penalty because the ball went behind him lol. Mane throws himself to the ground but he's entitled to because there was contact a couple of seconds earlier. Ederson misses the ball and punches Iheanacho, isn't a penalty because contact was inevitable. You couldn't make it up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding any leeway to offsides doesn't solve anything - we'll just be arguing about a line 10 cm over from where it used to be like you say. Plus, it becomes a 20cm total free-for-all area where the big clubs get given favourable decisions over everyone else. Made even worse now we're not allowed to even see the lines they're looking at.

I don’t think he should’ve been nominated either but you seriously think Pearson (who lasted what, 10-15 games then got sacked) and Dyche had better overall seasons than Rodgers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves haven't had a better season than us, have they? I'd argue Lampard shouldn't be there as they haven't improved from last season. For me it's Klopp and then Wilder.

I know, and I’m sure Klopp will win it but you look at Sheff Uniteds team and it still baffles me he’s kept them up, let alone a top half finish. Klopp and liverpool will take the platitudes but Wilder is by far and away manager of the season for me - not only based on results but also because he’s great value in the press.

Yeah I’m not disagreeing. I think those two are definitely top 2.

UHDrive Posted 7 August 2020 Share Posted 7 August 2020 I think we deserve to be in the top 4 for best managers as BR always said only 18 months ago that this is a young team and a growing project. He's taken us to 5th in his 1st season so that's good enough for me. I have issue with our transfer policy because we need to spend on both 1st team players and squad players as we are in danger of falling behind if we don't. A new training ground is all well and good to entice players but if we are not paying the monies required for signings then we'll go nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just shows a bit of a blinkered view from outsiders that think it’s been class because we’ve finished 5th. Don’t get me wrong it’s a decent finish but the form since Christmas certainly doesn’t warrant any personal awards for the manager in my eyes. Who else would be more deserving of being shortlisted though really I suppose? Dyche maybe? Surprised Eddie Howe didn’t get a mention, he nearly kept little old Bournemouth up in the end Edited 7 August 2020 by Manini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
