Tight at the top and very fine margins with the top 3 all winning under similar circumstances!
Villa look decent under Slippy G, it’s a decent test for him to prove himself for the big job when Klopp hangs up his cap. |

Mouldy 0-0 draw for the Hammers today. They have to do better against bottom of the table teams. My scouse mate says the refs obviously don't consider West Ham a top team worthy of a dodgy penalty in their favour. Did I mention he has hated refs since they invented "Fergie time"?

We are in deep doo doo after that thrashing by Leicester, even if the penalty was soft (Madison dived).
Liverpool away and the two Manchester clubs at home doesn't bode well for the goals against column. Best hope is we catch them all on off days and lose by the odd goal and that Norwich, Burnley, Watford don't pick up points either. Can't see it happening though.

Looking forward to seeing Brentford and city on weds. I have tickets. In a kinda S&M fashion a 0-3 would be a good result.
Hopefully grab at point at Brighton later too. |

Flicked between the 3pm games today and yet another sigh from me with the officials.
I'm a bees fan so VAR is new but a great tech when used well. Watching the harry kane goal I just knew they would concoct some way of ruling it out. There is so much emphasis on the golden frame but they fail to realise they don't have the tech to deliver. There is barely a glance at the frame of ball contact and yet this is the most vital. If they want to measure the atom with these stupid lines they need to have high speed cameras to capture the exact moment the ball is kicked. The frame on Amazon today looked like the ball was a good few inches and has been kicked so it was useless. Also his arm was 'offside' but you can't score with it?? Just don't get it. Of course no one wants this level of detail and no one has asked for it - why are they doing it? Yet VAR doesn't intervene when another goal is incorrectly ruled out for some bizarre protection for goalies. Were they having tea and cake? I know perhaps harry Kane should have been banned - but again it reinforces my point. The average geezer in the street could get this correct. Bloods my blood and I couldn't really care who won this |

And a decision compounded by yet another perfectly good goal being ruled out not long after that which as you say VAR didn't even bother to intervene for. If it had then surely the goal would have been rightly given. If the referee hadn't made a call then VAR would have checked the goal and allowed it to stand. A bad day for the officials all round. Southampton's gain was Spurs's loss. Good luck to the Bees for tomorrow… I fear you may need it!! |

It seems a clear and obvious error is now mm with many shite decisions made.
Any marginal run on a defence which good strikers have down to a tee are scrutinised to the nth detail, it’s stupid. If its that fine a decision that needs lines to be drawn then it is not clear and obvious which is how VAR was supposed to work. I remember Bobby Firmino having a perfectly legit goal strikes off as an armpit hair was deemed to be offside, on that basis then more attacking minded teams will be penalised more often. ETA I suppose clumsy defenders may get penalised but it seems to be attackers that get the worst results. |

My money would be on City though; Salah in particular has been outstanding for Liverpool so far this season but the chances of him being able to maintain that level for another 19 games - and/or staying injury free for the rest of the season - must be remote... |
