Enough is enough, time for a change

Son was unlucky to be an inch offside but at least it not counting meant we didn't blow another 2 goal lead.

This squad is just not good enough, peaked probably 2 seasons ago, been regressing through age and lack of investment since, needs some big decisions to be made, not seeing a top player in this Ndombele, early days, need to get, Parrott on the bench as he is the future, its coming to something when Lamela and Sissoko are our best players, if new manager comes in will need open cheque book, so many need replacing or sending to knackers yard

As time goes on, it is becoming clear that VAR is nothing but a tool used to benefit their favourite clubs.

We've probably benefitted from it more than any other club
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Leicester literally had a goal ruled out by VAR today
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, a clear and obvious error was corrected.

That was absolutely clear. Son looked at worse level. Scandalous decision.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was offside. It was unbelievably close and another reminder that the rule needs changing now that we can measure it with such accuracy, but he was offside.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How can anybody say he was offside for certain, when you have a skewed camera angle and no way of pin pointing the exact moment the ball left the foot of the player who played the pass.

VAR is flawed, it is not entirely accurate. It`s the same in cricket, the DRS system there is also not entirely accurate.

Just to add to that. Lucas not getting enough chances and Kane is undroppable. He scored while falling over today but couldn't score while standing up. I don't know if that should be praise or criticism.

The injuries to the new players is another joke. We're going to have to wait over a season before we see either GLC or Sessegnon look like the part at this rate.

I think the squad is plenty good enough. It is just being very poorly managed. Any half decent manager would have got this team over the line on more than one occasion. Absolutely you can see in a nutshell the last few matches why Pochettino has never won, or never likely to win a trophy, so mentally weak, and his subs today were laughable.

Not only that but I think where the shoulder ends and the arm begins are open to interpretation. Drawing a crude line somewhere inbetween the two is alarmingly slapdash for an offside system that's making calls this tight. Players with square shoulders are an easier call but the rounder ones are harder to define. That in itself means that there is a grey area sufficient enough to apply the clear and obvious rule for offsides too. I think if there is no clear gap between the blue and red lines when reviewing, the goal should stand by virtue of the fact that it's not an exact system. Until it is, it's not a black and white call.

**************************
Now this is the TRUTH!
Pochettino's substitutions, the ones he made, AND the one's he did not make, are "mystifying" (I'm being kind!)
Why leave Son on .... he was terrible today.
Why not play Moura for second half instead?
Why take Lamela off? He was our best attackng midfielder.
Why take Sissoko off? He was giving Winks plenty of needed support in the middle.
Why leave Aurier on? He was worse than Trippier on a bad day, with exception of one kick which was the goal that wasn't.
Why put Wanyama on? He was a totally lost cause.

The team that wanted this gamed the most won!
