Two fouls happening simultaneously. Why has VAR got involved? Surely that is refs call. He said no, carry on. There is no way you can determine who fouled who first as it all happened at the same time. Then how on earth is United's goal not disallowed? Two handed push in the back that directly...

Second week and use of VAR is inconsistent. Surprise surprise.

No one has mentioned the flying kungfu kick from MacAllister at the end of the first half. How was that not deemed a penalty?! Webb has said there will be more penalties this year for holding, but you can flying kick someone and it's deemed fine?!? That more baffling than the handball IMHO.

Textbook definition of a dive that.

MLS was glancing contact and a trip. It didn't meet the threshold for force nor endangerment of a player's safety. All agreed upon the review. This is a lunge in scissors action, knee height from behind. Totally different 'tackle'. Incomparable

Scissor action With force Ball nowhere to be played. Just below knee. Had Martinelli's leg been planted, his leg would have most likely been broken. Luckily it wasn't, but this does seriously endanger the player. Ticks all the boxes for a red. VAR being inconsistent again

Well yes because the player didn't think he got fouled, otherwise why get up? If he was fouled, he would have done several rolls, screamed in 'agony' and held a body part for a prolonged period of time to ensure the referee knew he was definitely fouled and 'hurt'.

The fact that Harrison got straight back up and continued to chase down the ball tells you everything.

Anderson was clearly looking for contact, Mitoma missed him, so he initiated contact. Absolutely no way is that where he would have normally placed his foot. There is one camera angle that demonstrates that perfectly. Great use of VAR.

Lucky indeed. It baffles me that a stamp out of frustration on someone's bum isn't deemed VC due to lack of force.... Sorry but when was a stamp part of football? Any stamp, punch, kick out, slap should be VC regardless of force. It is not part of the game whatsoever.

Has anyone actually seen the offside lines? I've only viewed highlights (and only on the phone) and it looked like he was behind the ball when it was headed back.

MO gave Arsenal's MLS a red card for glancing trip but failed to even give a foul for studs to the head. I'm genuinely shocked he missed that.

Gabriel was in the West Ham half as the foul was committed. Easy DOGSO. Arsenal will not appeal that. They have nothing to appeal against

I saw the VAR footage online and thought, yeah I can somewhat understand why he has overturned it, however, this is rerefereeeing the game. Since then, the other footage of the pulls has surfaced, which I'm assuming the ref saw in real time. Why wasn't this provided to the referee? It all...

The 2 'take one for the team' counter attack stops from Liverpool defenders went unpunished first half. Konate booting the ball away unpunished. Konate reckless mid air challenge which is nailed on caution every time, nothing. The penalty. The defender would have made a simple clearance but is...

Thing I don't understand is... MO dishes out the reds... But totally failed to give all of the Liverpool players surrounding him and the ARs and 4th official any cautions. They stand there just getting shouted at with abuse when they should have acted. Also to the bias claim.... Bradley and...

Thought it was great use of VAR to disallow the goal. 2 hands in the back. Stops him from closing down the cross. Has clearly interfered with play

Why wasn't Mings cautioned for handball? If he doesn't pick it up it, WH are in a promising attack heading for goal.

There have been plenty of crunching tackles above the ankle with a lot of force that have been checked and confirmed caution. This has little force as it's a trip, yet a red. Fernandes got rescinded which was far worse as he did it out of frustration, so you'd expect this should

Hojland kicking the ball away just as Van Dijk was going to take the FK, no caution given. Can't argue with the penalty. However, we never saw any replays of the assumed Handball shout for united before the Liverpool penalty. The players were adamant it was handball. Would be good to see just...
