MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

You know, it's just a wrestling thing from set pieces now.

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

And trying to manage that, referee that, is nigh on impossible.

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

And the way that they sort of have to make decisions, no one's ever going to be happy.

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

But I think overall, what I will say about that VAR decision, I think it just confirmed to me that people always perceive things according to their bias.

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

I'll come on to that with you in a second.

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

What are you shaking your head at?

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

It's just, unless I've misheard that from Matt, and I don't know if Darren really clocked that, it sounded like, Matt, you were saying that the fourth official, sorry, the video assistant referee has just asked the referee, just go and have another look at this, you know what I mean?

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

As opposed to going towards a specific thing to look at.

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

Is that what you meant, Matt?

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

Or were you being specific about, say, the foul on Raya?

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

Just to be crystal clear here, so there's no, like, muddying of waters, I think, Darren, you're saying that you sent him over to look at the specific incident on Ryan, not everything else in the box.

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

Because what it sounded like Matt was saying was that he was to go and look at everything on the side.

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

That's what it sounded like.

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

is is nonsense because the premier league isn't physical anywhere else on the field because if it was joe kim anderson wouldn't have been sent off that tackle would have been allowed yeah i think you're making really good points and for me i think we i've spoken about this on this show before and others like a law tweak is something that is needed i think darren's got a good idea in terms of creating space because for the last couple of years in my opinion goalkeepers overall before

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

the thing on Sunday, goalkeepers overall had become basically redundant from set pieces, especially in swinging ones, and the whole grappling side of things.

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

Like, realistically, when a corner comes in, in the past, they'd be like, try and find space, try and get a block, try and create this, create that.

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

But when you've got essentially 15 to 20 players in a six-yard box and the ball's coming into that area, all that people can do is grapple.

Football Daily
MNC: Arsenal's VAR victory & missed chance for Spurs?

Those defensively, those in attack, and realistically there,

Football Daily

It's rubbish to watch.

I'll call it what it is.
