Ridiculous officiating.
Thought it was onside when the ball was played through.

The official should only raise his flag if he's CERTAIN it's offside.
Unacceptable really, could've led to a goal

When they draw these lines on the screen for VAR what are they using to ensure the line is drawn correctly? Just feels like you can’t trust them to be done accurately and be conclusive.

    I don't know what we were expecting Aston Villa never had a good defence, and even if a defender does have high attacking threat, that is high for a defender, it is not like Cash is going to get a lot of goals this season.

      It was too good to pass up. Cheap attacking defender in an attacking team. Easy to say in hindsight that he wasn’t a good pick. But he has to go soon I guess.

        Obviously it was not too good to pass up on becasue he has not scored points because he is an overrated pick.
