With offside, remember that they've changed the definition for handball now so there are parts of the body near the shoulder/upper arm area which you can now legally play the ball with (and therefore score with) so you could be offside with a body part this season which you were onside with last season.
So actually offside has gone even more against the attacking players!
I would never blame/criticise an individual VAR for an offside decision (unless they'd 100% misinterpreted something etc.)
It seems Coote didn't even check Pickford's challenge for possible SFP which is really poor. I've been impressed with Coote on the pitch since he was promoted but as a VAR not so much.
