At this point Liverpool would just be trying to get any edge on Citeh, getting a stupidly high GD week 1 might help...

I have not missed Jamie Carragher's stupid ****ing opinions.

Not really because I think the head to head rule comes in this season, but I still agree.
Seems to me the key to ‘having a go’ is whether the players have the mentality to cope with a few beatings. Even the best players can pretty soon forget how to pass a ball in a straight line once their confidence is shot. Somehow Bournemouth seem to cope and always bounce back. That’s where Hughton’s approach of trying to always be in contention did work so well for morale. Easier to dismiss defeats.
Still, VAR is destined to take all the attention away from Norwich... so they’ve got lucky there.

Had Jamie Carragher got shares in VAR stocks or something? This guy is chatting absolute drivel
Another absolute joke of a VAR issue. Game delayed due to VAR technical difficulties. Good job the Norwich fans already couldn’t get home by train tonight

strong and stable with me, or...
Well this is working....****ing billions in the game and they can’t get a headset working.
If you mean in a 3:4:3 then that would require the two wide forwards to drop back to fill the midfielders' places, so effectively 5:4:1
hopefully (at this level)
I mean the RWB and LWB (Bernardo and March?), not ploughing forward when up against the top 6, especially away. Defending the number one priority for them.
Is that the same thinking as you?

Technology works, we love VAR (mantra).
It'll be tough to sign 'we are top of the league' tomorrow afternoon.
TAA hasn’t learnt to defend yet, so Norwich and everyone else (PL and CL) always overload that side, it’s so obvious.

Perhaps Norwich have some stage fright!? Fact remains however its what they (and us) do against teams below 6th place that really counts because all those teams will mostly lose/draw against top 6. We need 14 wins by xmas please!

Norwich last game of season is vs Man City.. perhaps they are doomed and that’s why they spent next to zero!?
Wouldn’t that mean that flags were almost redundant?
Instead, I thought that now, the ref waves play on in a marginal call, then if the ball ends up in the net, VAR reviews.
That’s in UEFA competitions. In the PL, they will still flag. Players have been told to ignore it and play to the whistle.

They are pretty good at flagging throws, although get that wrong quite regularly too. Also those linesman whatever they're called, behind the goals, are they still used? That really is a job for the boys, never seen a decision made, they even took the flag off their pole!
Gary Neville:
"Norwich have played so well"
This whole thing where the media and 'football Twitter' gang up on teams that do what they have to do to try and grind out a result against teams like Liverpool and City but big up the sides that roll over and lube up for the big boys is just ridiculous.
To be fair he did also say he would rather be hated (v defensive) than felt sorry for (rogered like a £5 whore) as a team in games like this.
