VAR should only be used to correct wrong decisions. The game is reffed as normal, a couple of guys watch a replay and if it’s obviously wrong they correct it. If the ref isn’t sure he asks for a check, or just checks himself on the monitor.
I get not flagging for possible offside one on ones, surely the linesman could just say on the mic he thinks it’s offside and ask for a check.
As it stands it seems like VAR is running the game and the ref is just a mouth piece on the pitch.
Agree but I’d include Lath, Mcgree, Jones, Azaz and Bangura in that, plus probably all the CBs. Not saying all of them should be nailed on starters but they all have the quality to be part of a promotion team wether from the bench or starting.
I'd take Dieng, Hackney and VDB and ringfence those three. Regarding the rest of the squad I'm honestly not bothered who stays or who goes in the Summer.
