The Mailbox rues a missed opportunity from 2018 for Liverpool, while an Arsenal fan craves the return of a former striker. Also: Chelsea are the new Everton; Bobby Martinez, VAR...
The imminent death of the FA Cup has been predicted for at least the last two decades.
With regards to the Salah goal, for me he’s got to be offside. Toti only made a play for the ball in an attempt to stop it getting through to Salah, who was in an offside position from the original pass. This rule has been in place for some time though and actually pre-dates the introduction of VAR to English football. Liverpool themselves fell foul of this rule in 2018 iirc, in a game against Spurs at Anfield.
Firstly the Wolves. Nunes looks likely offside but it seems close. Now VAR have a camera on the 18 yard line as standard for offside decisions. When Nunes sends the ball in the second time the camera footage is there. Two seconds earlier they do not have the same angle. That’s a horribly inconvenient tech failure. It’s a static camera, so why would they switch it off for a corner? Literally never heard of this kind of VAR failure before. Maybe someone can shed light on this.
And what about how an offside player chasing the same pass as a defender is offside even if the defender gets there first and plays the ball. They have clearly shown with this rule and the blocked shot rule that they do not want an offside attacker to gain an advantage from being in an offside position initially. The exception seems to be addressing defenders executing poor passes and attackers getting penalised for it, which this was not.
