Arsenal have received a boost after John Brooks got removed from VAR duties for Manchester City game. John Brooks was also the VAR official for getting the wrong call in the Brighton game against Crystal Palace.
Hence, the Gunners fans are happy that they will not have another error prone referee in such an important game. The Gunners have already suffered because of bad decision making in the draw against Brentford.
ARSENAL RECEIVE GOOD NEWS ON THE VAR OFFICIALS FOR THE MATCH AGAINST MANCHESTER CITY
Professional Game Match Officials Board- League (PGMOL) have announced that John Brooks is not the VAR official for the Arsenal game against Manchester City. It is because John Brooks wrongly disallowed a clear Brighton goal against Crystal Palace. Hence, the officials board had to apologise to Brighton for the mistake on their social media. Therefore, John Brooks is now not going to be the VAR referee for the title deciding game of the Gunners against Manchester City.
It is also because millions of football fans will watch the exciting game. Hence, the officials board will hope that his replacement David Coote will not repeat the same mistakes. They are also aware of the mistakes another of their VAR referee Lee Mason made in the Arsenal draw against Brentford. Lee Mason allowed a clear offside Brentford goal. This helped Brentford get a equaliser. Hence, this draw also meant that the Gunners are only three points clear of Manchester City before the start of the game.
THE PREMIER LEAGUE MUST HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THE REFEREES BOARD BEFORE THE START OF THE NEW SEASON
All the Premier League board members and the teams must have a discussion with referees board members. This is because what happened with Arsenal can happen to the other team. The bad decision in the Brentford game could potentially cost the Gunners the Premier League title this season. Hence, in the end Arteta and his players will get affected with that. The referee officials board are not going to compensate for that. They are only apologising for their bad decisions.
Hence, all the fans including Arsenal fans must demand that they can listen to the conversations happening during the VAR checks. Premier League are already planning for that. However, this all will take time to happen. Hence, a number of bad decisions will certainly happen for the remainder of the season. However, Arsenal will hope that they do not suffer again because of bad referring decisions. Hence, the Premier League clubs will hope that next season good referring happens.
Whereas, Arsenal will hope that they can win the Europa League and Premier League title this season. They also need to make sure that they improve their attacking and defensive performances in the upcoming matches. It is also clear that the Gunners have not performed at their best in the last two matches against Everton an Brentford.
