It’s time for Back Pages tonight on Sky Sports News, bringing you the latest sports stories from the morning’s newspapers. Joining me are Miguel Delaney and Jason Burt from the Telegraph.

Liverpool Demands Answers on VAR Decision

The Sun leads with the story of Liverpool’s demand for answers over the offside call that disallowed Virgil van Dijk’s goal on Sunday. The Guardian also reports on the controversy, along with news of England’s injury concerns ahead of their international match against New Zealand. Miguel Delaney comments on the story: “I think the answer to the referee’s decision is that it was a borderline call. While I could see why it wasn’t given, it’s a fair enough decision. The real issue I have is the increasing trend of clubs challenging refereeing decisions in court, which I don’t think will improve the standards of refereeing.”

Jason Burt agrees that the subjectivity of refereeing decisions makes it difficult to challenge them: “If it does go to court, I don’t think it’s going to change the outcome of the game. The clubs are asking for clarity on how the rules are being interpreted, but the laws of the game have become more opaque, making it harder to understand.”

Liverpool’s Title Hopes

The Metro reports on Liverpool’s struggles, with Andy Robertson refusing to give up on consecutive Premier League titles. Miguel Delaney suggests that Liverpool’s issues go beyond the offside call: “They’ve got a lot to solve, and it’s difficult to see them putting a run together. They’re caught between two eras, with both old and new players, and it’s hard to know who they are as a team.”

England Injury Worries

Gordon at the Daily Express Sports writes that Thomas Tukul is sweating on the fitness of key players for the World Cup Qualifier double header against Serbia and Albania. Miguel Delaney notes that while the injury is a concern for Tukul, it also gives him an opportunity to experiment with other options for the World Cup.

United’s Amarim Fights Back

Jason Burt discusses he writes about Ruben Amarim’s first year at Manchester United, which has been a rocky one. The article provides a more positive outlook on Amarim’s future, suggesting that he’s learned from his mistakes and is improving the team. However, Amarim’s win percentage as a manager is still low, and there’s an “awful long way to go” before he can be considered successful.

The Sunday League All-Stars

The Daily Telegraph features a humorous piece on the Sunday league team that has emerged, featuring big-name players like Papy Celeste and Barry Sheene. Miguel Delaney remarks that it’s a fun story that reflects the trend of retired players continuing to play football.
