And return to the same problems we had before it? No thanks. If VAR goes, then the PGMOL needs to go with it. I haven't forgotten all of the sh*t that used to go on before VAR. VAR hasn't improved things because it's been used wrongly by those in charge.

I would 100% take how things used to be compared to this. This version of VAR is not compatible with football

 
Any 4-0 win is a good win. First half was dire but like most struggling teams we looked a lot better once we'd nicked a couple of goals. 

Here's hoping we get a home draw next round.

 
Commentator didn’t once change the tone of his voice when we scored and the co-commentator absolutely hates us.   Screw both of em 4-0 into the next round.  Keep crying.  Feels like we’re starting to score some goals too.  On to the next one.

d**khead should stick to talking about sh*tty homemade robots falling apart.

 
Fair play. Good win and will give some confidence. Nice to see us progress. On paper we should've won anyway but we are Chelsea. Had we lost we'd deffo have something to complain about. On to Boro on Tuesday and Fulham on Saturday. Til then folks KTBFFH

Enzo's goal was disallowed if we don't have a VAR check ... VAR is a good thing, they just need to tighten up on the process and the people element.

I’m with you, but they can’t all be bad players. I’m less than thrilled with Poch - we’re 8 months into his tenure and I don’t know what his style is. Nothing is progressing. 

my biggest concern is how little he gets out of Caceido and Enzo, especially given their former success or effect at international level. It’s just so flat - they should be dominating this game.

Yeah... I'm beginning to wonder why we paid so much for those two...

I agree, it's terrible, but I would rather it was improved on over being thrown out completely and return to the sh*te we had before it.

It can work if we put people in charge that are competent. Drawing a line on a computer shouldn't be hard, and if it is, then these refs need to be trained to use technology properly or replace them with refs that won't struggle with it.

It took me 5 seconds to see that Enzo was onside. A quick drawing of the lines just to confirm it should be all it takes to come to the conclusion that he was onside. They are making this system seem to be much more difficult to implement than it should be.

 
Anyway... another win and good to see Broja playing with a bit of confidence - he's a better striker than Jackson - not saying much but after he scored you could see he's got more in him - I think.

Commentator genuinely didn't know that a player's head counts when drawing offside lines.

To be honest the choice by the premier league to not have the semi automated offside system implemented is very weird. 
 

To be honest don't think how it was before was that bad, the refs can always be improved on but I don't recall decisions ever being as discussed as they are now, if feels like teams play football while we wait for an extended VAR break.
