SINGAPORE — The key talking points of the past English Premier League weekend. This week: Should VAR be scrapped for creating unnecessary chaos?
SINGAPORE — How have your favourite English Premier League teams performed over the past week? And how will they fare in their next matches? Yahoo News Singapore looks at the key talking points surrounding the league in this new weekly series:
Then came the farcical penalty sequence, in which Dean – via VAR – awarded a City penalty about three minutes after an infringement was apparently committed. When Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris saved the spot kick, VAR waded in again to say that he did not trip Sterling as they collided during the rebound – yet did not recommend a second yellow card for Sterling’s theatrical fall.
No, unless a better mechanism is being put in place, VAR has been an abject failure. This experiment must end by next season. Story continuesThe two outcomes – Liverpool finding a way to win eventually, and City failing to turn possession dominance into victory – tell much of the story of this season. But while Liverpool’s unstoppable form has been frequently praised, there is little talk about why City – champions in the past two seasons with record-breaking points accumulation – imploded so dramatically this season.
As it is, Guardiola seems oblivious to the struggling forms of players like Ilkay Gundogan and Kyle Walker, at the cost of surprise defeats throughout this season. It is a strange oversight for such a meticulous manager, and he needs to re-evaluate his entire misfiring squad come next season.
