Really can’t see how the player isn’t deemed to be interfering here? VAR again under the spotlight. But really surprised the on-field team didn’t give it.

Will wait for the full analysis on MOTD , where the screen will be bigger, but he motions towards the ball, and this seems to impact the Fulham keepers dive that seems to stutter.Keeper can always see the ball no?
So he doesn't exactly affect his view of the ball.
My first reaction is it can’t be line of sight- so then is it an obvious action that clearly impacts the opponent’s ability to play the ball… well, as much I want it to be, no, these aren’t given. Right now, this isn’t an offence. Should it be? Probably. But clarification required!
Has to be offside for me, feels precisely why we have the language we have today.My first reaction is it can’t be line of sight- so then is it an obvious action that clearly impacts the opponent’s ability to play the ball… well, as much I want it to be, no, these aren’t given.

I think Micahel Oliver and VAR were trying to be too clever with their interpretation ofEasy offside
VAR watched several replays from multiple angles and still got it wrong. Michael Oliver only saw it once through a crowd of bodies.Amazed MOTD never showed this challenge on Wilson? Seemed worthy at least a bit of analysis?
Thought the whole debate on the offside was very protective of Michael Oliver, can’t just completely blame VAR for that?
If that doesn't work, five minutes in onReally can’t see how the player isn’t deemed to be interfering here? VAR again under the spotlight. But really surprised the on-field team didn’t give it.
Whatever you think of the not offside decision, was there any reason for the Fulham GK to be in the centre circle waiting for the VAR verdict (and having left the ball on the goal line)?On a similar note to dissent, I thought the memo at the start of the season was to clamp down on all disciplinary indiscretions, specially 'time waisting'. The only thing I see is some cases of DTR cautioned. Not seen a single case of cautioning a player running close and in the path of a free kick to stop it from being taken quickly. And it happens all the time.
