Did they use VAR on Benteke's incidents? No Tickled, they didnt, because it wasnt needed as per guidelines issued. I understand what you on about, but, VAR is never going to be used for cautions. Now, if Tekkers was given a straight Red, then, Yes, VAR would be used. Trouble is, if they then agreed with the ref, Tekkers would be facing a 3 match ban instead of just 1. Anyhoo, i hope we continue our good form & not revert to type, i noticed we have 4 defenders on the bench. COYP
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Given his recent improved form II felt we would miss CB today. Sure if he had played he would have put one of our many first half chances away. Still probably 1-6 or 7 ! Thankfully indeed! Come on Christian, you are our new main man, get plenty of rest and unveil the beast at the villa!

You can bet your life that there will be similar challenges this weekend in the Premiership where a yellow card will not be brandished.

If the referees today want to see what leading with the elbow means they need to look at what Fashanu used to do at Wimbledon in the 90,s . He used to jump with the elbow bent into the face of an opponent, which caused fractures to the face and eye socket damage. Tekkers arm is always straight and he is not leading with it and looking to cause any damage. It didn’t help that those 2 West Ham prat’s were rolling around on the ground like their heads were hanging off...

Watching Brighton v Sheffield on Sky , I have seen two incidents where arms have gone into players faces, referee just waved on play.

It will be interesting to watch this next game also - THFC v LCFC and see how Harry Kane gets on.

Yes some truth in this but I watched him closely today and his work rate was non existent, positional sense the same and was just going through the motions. Admittedly the balls coming into the box weren’t the best but such little challenge. A central defenders dream and he has been ever since he joined us.
Bring back Brolin |

His record with us speaks for itself. Apart from a couple of games total waste of space

When Benteke wasn't available, we were pumping long balls to Ayew who is about 5'4 and wouldn't get on the end of them if he had a trampoline. Edited by Petts Wood Eagle (26 Dec 2020 7.58pm) A question ........ if you were a Centre half playing against Benteke every week would you be in fear or relish it?

A guy of his size in never going to have the work rate of Kante. But we didn't put in a single early ball or cross to his head. His first go against West Brom was an early goal into his head. We know he's limited, but don't play him to his strengths.

Again was given zero service, if were not going to play to his strengths we might as well out him.
