marginal gains they're looking at everything and all teams are at it and it's been going on for years but with VAR I felt as though you had to do probably more basketball type blocking than actually grappling because it would be a penalty and that's the problem you have with that clip there it's 100% a foul on Raya as soon as you look he has a shirt grab but as soon as you grab a goalie's arm it has to be a foul because he can't catch the ball that that

Still there, that still image there.

We'll put it on screen now.

That is pretty conclusive.

Yeah, it's pretty conclusive.

But the breakdown to take five minutes because of all the other stuff, how is that not then on every corner of every action?

Let's be honest, though.

within the realms of football and the contact sport but if you physically got your arms around someone that feels like a clear line that's for me when I was coaching and I was out on the grass and you were certainly defending and you wanted to mark obviously inside and ultimately because I didn't want to grab because Vieira had just come in and I thought penalties we're trying to mark on the inside but you're trying to

stop the run and get in the momentum.

So he has to check his run.

So his timing's off, and that gives your zones a better chance to win it.

But now the grabbing, I mean, we haven't got to this game yet, but like Man Utd-Sunderland, there's a ball that goes on to Shaw, and I don't know who it was at the back post, and he gives the free kick to Shaw.

I'm thinking that's a penalty.

The other way, because Shaw's just looking here, and he's virtually like that, and the ball crosses come in, and the ref gives the foul the other way.

It can't be.

But that's how we now mark on corners.

And I think the World Cup and things like that, I think it's got to change the way they do it.

But look, it's a foul on Raya.

But if they would have made any other decision around that, you'd have to go with it.

But it does feel like the grappling thing is something that they could get under control.
