That is about the worst decision I have ever seen.  VAR is an absolute disgrace and has no place in football.

Never in a million years was that a penalty and taking that long to decide is not a clear and obvious error.

Cannot wait until we are out of this shit league.

The idea of using VAR isn't the issue, it is the people using it. If the Premier League hired the best officials from around the world then VAR would be significantly better. Instead, they largely stick to English referees.

Give it a rest. He's talking about the practical impact of VAR. What the Premier League might do in an alternative universe is not the least relevant.

No midfield. Jurics formation is dogshit.

100% this.  Central midfield is non-existent.  Newcastle strolled through there.

Juric is as shit as Martin.....this formation is terrible.  No chances for SAA, Ballard or others who could be important next year.

The sooner this squad is dismantled and a new manager comes in the better.  As I poseted on another thread, I'd welcome Selles back in a heartbeat next season.  Our younger players might actually get a chance instead of the same old shit week in week out.

We really are going to fail to get another point, finishing on 6 points!!! 😂 got to laugh or you'll 😭

This formation sucks.

When you see the zoomed out view, there's a line of three saints defenders, then two lines of the Newcastle press, then our midfield.

Unless we're smacking it long every time the ball doesn't get to the halfway line.

Probably been our best player.

Apart from when Murphy walked past him for their second goal (and giving away a penalty). Just not mobile enough

What's the point. We either get thrashed by oppo or done by VAR/ref.

No wonder the players have thrown in the towel. If we score again they'll find a way to disallow it. Seems pointless.

3 / 5 at the back is such a horrible formation. For that reason I hope Juric departs in the summer

Why? The issue isn't the formation, the issue is the quality of the players in the formation. Teams are capable of getting a back three formation to work effectively, but sadly not us (yet).

Because is it not widely used in England, and unless you have world class players it leaves you exposed in midfield

Yep, surely if you know you're weak in CM then you don't just put two players in there.

Imagine telling someone before the season that it would be the end of January and Joe Aribo would be our deepest lying midfielder.

The issue is the formation coupled with the players and recruitment has been abysmal
