The Premier League have announced a major change to VAR protocol ahead of this weekend’s games in order to avoid another calamity after Liverpool’s game against Tottenham last week. The PGMOL and VAR have come under heavy criticism this past week after a ‘significant human error’ cost Liverpool an opening goal in their 2-1 loss to Spurs last Saturday evening. Luis Diaz had his first-half opener incorrectly ruled out for offside due to a communication error between the VAR official and referee. The PGMOL released a statement shortly after full-time apologising to Jurgen Klopp’s side for the mistake with Liverpool…
As the fallout continues from Liverpool’s controversial defeat against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has weighed in on the VAR mistake that denied the Reds a legitimate goal. While acknowledging the error, Guardiola believes that Liverpool must simply ‘accept’ the decision, though he hopes for improvements in VAR standards. The incident in question occurred when Luis Díaz’s goal was incorrectly ruled out by VAR, leading to a 2-1 loss for Liverpool. The VAR officials at Stockley Park made a “significant human error,” as evident from the audio footage revealing miscommunication between the on-field referee and the VAR hub.…
Though he accepts Liverpool were denied a “legitimate goal,” Tottenham‘s Ange Postecoglou doubts he would have allowed a goal to balance it out. Postecoglou was dismissive of criticism over the use of VAR in the immediate aftermath of Tottenham‘s 2-1 win over Liverpool on Saturday. It came after a major error from VAR Darren England that saw a goal for Luis Diaz ruled out for offside, despite the winger clearly being onside. An inquest led by Liverpool eventually saw the audio from the VAR booth released to the public, revealing the scale of the ineptitude shown by England and assistant VAR Dan Cook.…

Manchester United chiefs would be right to make a “big decision” on the future of Erik ten Hag if results do not pick up. That is the view of Arsenal legend Ray Parlour, who has warned it could be a slippery slope for the Red Devils boss if he has lost the dressing room. United have lost six of their 10 matches in all competitions so far this season. The latest defeat was a surprise result at home to Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday. Ten Hag won the Carabao Cup in his first season in charge, ending United’s…
Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has claimed that levels have “dropped” at the club this season. United welcome Brentford on Saturday following a run of seven defeats from their last nine games, including the last two at home. Another defeat at Old Trafford would make it three straight losses at home for the first time since October 1962. “We dropped levels and we fight against it so we have to get back to those levels. “There are reasons for it but still it’s not acceptable and we have to fight against it. Every team we put out…

Chelsea are considering ending the loan of Andrey Santos at Nottingham Forest. The Brazil U20 captain has managed just one start with Forest so far this season. The Athletic says a break clause for January is included in the arrangement and the Blues are now considering triggering it. Midfielder Santos is yet to play a single minute in the Premier League with his only appearance coming in Forest’s Carabao Cup loss to Burnley. The loan includes financial penalties for Forest if Santos isn’t played, but the youngster has struggled in the step up from the Brasileiro Serie B.
Brown believes Chelsea will have to rotate in the full-back departments with Chilwell and James absent. And the journalist suggests Cucurella will get a chance to prove his worth at Stamford Bridge. He told GIVEMESPORT: “They may have to rotate in that area or try a few things to find the best option until Chilwell and Reece James return. So, I do think he’s going to get a chance now. He must grab it with both hands. He did come close to a move, and it was clear that the club were willing to sell him. I don’t think anyone…
