I just don’t get the point of VAR anymore. I never wanted it in the first place, but I just hate the fact that all the brilliant raw emotion has been removed from the game while we forensically analyze every tiny frame of slo-mo. We’re not better off for it. Just bring in semi-auto offside, which is cut-and-dry, and let the coaches have one challenge per half or per game for anything that might be utterly and wildly obvious. Allowing VAR to intervene whenever they want has ruined it.

When would you say the last time he had “his day” was?

I have literally no idea what his strengths are

Mason Mount. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a match and said “wow Mount played really well today”. That goes for his England career too.
