Penalties

I’ve got a feeling we’ll have a major penalty shootout this season, after all this. Go out of the Europa or win one of the domestic cups on penalties, something like that.

Nail on the head. Pacey players get fouled because defenders end up on the wrong side of them

Pogba will have to play his way into the team first.

He’ll probably come straight back in rightly or wrongly.

As long as it’s in place of Fred or McTominay I think it could actually improve us.

I would not swap McT for pogba on a million years, McT is much more important for the team at the moment. If pogba starts sauntering around again then he will do the opposite of improve us.

I think he will be motivated to play well to get his transfer though.

Meant to say not in place. If he comes back in it has to be in place of Lingard imo

He may not run as much as Lingard but Lingard is very inefficient against park the bus sides and that’s where Pogba can hopefully make the difference.

Actually we could be on to something here. Our pace in attack coinciding with the introduction of VAR will see us getting extra pens that refs would usually miss. A good way to take advantage of VAR.

Helps to make out outrageous dives like rashy did vs Spurs

posted on 9/12/19

I do find it amusing that VAR seems to be helping us rather than working against us.

So many ABUs were gleefully anticipating the introduction of VAR because they thought it would 'even things out' - sadly for them it turns out we weren't getting the rub of the green after all

A lot of our Pens would have been given without VAR.
As other posters have said the nature of our attackers means we will get a lot more pens. They are all quick footed, very fast but also have a acceleration. It's often that change of pace that catches defenders out and causes to mistime tackles.

3 out of 8 given by VAR, that's nearly half. It makes a difference.

posted on 9/12/19

Hard to judge though, because I've a feeling that refs aren't giving penalties because they know VAR will be looking at the incident anyway. Kind of absolves them of the responsibility.

But then again, if they make the wrong call they know VAR will overturn it.
