VAR and Chelsea drop the ball

The Game

About this episode

It was VAR and goalkeeping errors that made the headlines across the two League Cup semi-finals. Chelsea’s Robert Sanchez gifted two goals to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge and at St James Park a bizarre decision from VAR denied Man City a goal.

New Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior picked the goalkeeper but he didn’t pick Palmer, Gusto or James seemingly at the prompting of his medical department. Is this a worrying early sign for the new man?  

If you had the choice, would you get rid of VAR? Is it worth the trouble it causes?

After the break, where can Carrick take Man Utd and favourite rivalries ahead of the Manchester derby.

Tom Clarke joins Martin Samuel, Tony Cascarino and Gregor Robertson
