Can we all agree Liverpool are going to lose the title on VAR? It’s destiny.

VAR is a good tool, but the implementation is terrible. It shouldn't be used to reverse marginal decisions, or incidental ones. The guy wasn't even looking at the ball when it brushed his arm. By the letter of the law, sure it's a handball, but the rule itself is poor. Players need to just start aiming at their opponents arms as soon as they get into the box based off this.

I might be wrong about this, but I think all VAR does is expose holes in the original rulebook. FIFA needs to change the letter of the law on handball, and probably on offsides and penalties as well.

I don't want to see goals called back because some dude had half his wrist ahead of the last defender as he turned to chase a pass down.

Anyone saying VAR isn’t taking away from the game is full of shyt.

Think of all the memories that would’ve been taken away if this had always been a thing

If we don’t play Xhaka, I’m ok. Anfield is usually a 5-1 L for us but excited to go there.

Everyone will take a W and an L to VAR at some point.

Players are going to be on strike cause of this..one of these days

VAR is doing it's job but I hate it because you can't celebrate goals in the moment anymore.

Before you could quickly look over at the linesman and enjoy the goal, now you have to pray there was nothing wrong after they review the whole build up


Last week I didn't even jump up for that Pogba to Rashford goal because I had to see the replay from every single angle to make sure it will stand.

Like you really have to delay 3-5 minutes before celebrating a game winning goal. And people are like “rules are rules”

The city crowd made the most noise booing at the end. Rivals Arsenal’s library

Also

Percentage of shots which were goals
City - 7%

They out here refereeing games like the NFL now. Soon they're going to give the coaches flags to challenge plays.

If they start introducing time outs, I’ll be officially done with this sport.
