Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

Most the time when teams play a 3-4-3 the fullbacks end up playing deep and it is more or less a back 5. Villa don't do that. They're literally trying to play better teams with 3 defenders.
 


I wonder what it feels like to be awarded a penalty.

This season we've had 0. United have had 9.

In fact, since the start of last season they've had 21 penalties in the league. We had 5 last year.
 

Because there was basically no contact and we're told the bar for an overturn is extremely high. I've seen worse challenges not punished by VAR
The system is so backward. Atkinson told the VAR he thought that the Villa guy got the ball. Because he didn't actually touch it, that is automatically a clear and obvious error.

If instead Atkinson said he didn't think the contact was enough for a penalty, that stays as know pen. It defies logic.

That has nothing to do with this incident though.

Refs can’t take previous incidents into account when they make a decision.

They aren’t stood there thinking, “Well Jon Moss didn’t give a pen for that tackle on Deeney and there was more contact on that one than this, so I can’t really give a pen here....”
