Circumstances surrounding Santos and Tielemans deals highlights issues in departments at #mufc but they'll soon have depth in midfield. Not convinced by a Chelsea squad player farmed out on loan four times but maybe Santos will thrive in a new environment. Tielemans oozes quality and United should've gone for him years ago. Rarely lasts whenever the club restrict themselves to an age range. Still need an established defensive midfielder.
Radio silence from #mufc early this morning amid enquiry on Tielemans before it emerged. Drastic change of plans after missing out on prime midfield targets. A good player but sense of chaos engulfing United. Missing out on targets, a deal collapsing and moving for older target than intended. Club also denied they had agreed £48m + £2m in add-ons for Andrey Santos last week, only for it to be confirmed the following day.
@SvennyG96 They only commit that many forward when other team sits back, doubt England sits back.
I think if saka/gordon are on it, England wins the game from the wing.
But there’s something in these Argentina guys, they never give up
The problem with the new ‘mistaken identity’ rule is that it sets a dangerous precedent.
Breel Embolo dived, so if called on the field it’s a second yellow, but that wasn’t the decision.
Yet an amendment to IFAB wording before the tournament states: “When the referee shows a yellow or red card but has clearly penalised the wrong player of either team for the offence in question; the offence itself cannot be reviewed except in the context of mistaken identity.”
We saw the same with Tim Ream (originally booked for a foul) and Miguel Almiron (eventually booked for diving) in USA vs. Paraguay.
In both instances, the right decision was reached when revisiting the incidents.
Yet it’s massively open for debate as to whether this is actually ‘mistaken identity’, and that’s the issue.
It’s just a mistake by the referees. Both got sold by a dive. They didn’t mix up players. They just made a bad call on a regular foul and wrongly handed out a yellow card.
So really it’s just a rule allowing VAR to intervene on more minor on-field calls, and that’s the part a lot of people will feel uneasy about.
@711_Joseph Ref missed it though and whilst the sequence of play is in motion, no other time for VAR to get involved.
Think VAR worked perfectly there.
