Here is a tracker of VAR that ESPN seems to be updating match to match.

Pickford's "challenge" wasn't even reviewed in the Everton match. They did manage to take away the winning goal, however.

Liverpool isn't having much luck with VAR and officiating this season. Add to that injuries and a lackluster run of form, you'll forgive me if I'm not in the mood for banter about some call United didn't get yesterday against Burnley.

Count your blessings when it comes to officiating decisions and VAR as it pertains to being a Manchester United supporter so far this season. You're doing fine.

I understand the end of the plays was different for each team. I am fully on board for fixing VAR somehow. The FA absolutely needs to fix it, or have the ability to discipline after the game is over (cards be given, fines, etc.). I am aware that United have benefited from it, that doesn't mean I think it works great. I would rather be in 4th and have VAR be 100% than sitting a top the table with how shitty it is. We are both calling for VAR to be fixed, regardless of what team is being rooted for.

Thank God for VAR. Pretty clear from those stats the on field refs have been showing favoritism towards Liverpool. Luckily there is a system in place to overturn the biased officiating.

When it was first instituted, I saw a lot of fans that said "great, just another mechansim to benefit the bigger clubs. Nothing will change." Truthfully, the only matches I can truly point to and say Liverpool really lost points was Everton and Brighton. Those two results were taken. Everything else is happenstance, but the consistency is awful. Yes, Liverpool is -5 but when you look at some of the handball calls and no calls, the offsides by a cunt hair vs no offsides, there is zero consistency.

I could post photos of various examples, but nobody gives a shit.

Only coincidence I can find is that no one from La Liga has won the last two Champions Leagues since UEFA instituted VAR in Europe, but I think there are other factors in play there.

United will win Sunday 1-0 in the 90th minute on a Bruno PK. You'll be six points clear and the Anfield home winning streak will be over. It will also be their first win against the "Big 6" this season.

Don't know this for a fact, I just know it to be true.

City is the favorite right now.

Until Liverpool finds a real CB, they won’t play the ball into space and they won’t score. United can’t beat anyone in the Big Six. They both need to solve that.

Liking City’s form right now.

Curious why liverpool hasn't purchased some CB who is...you know...a CB. Doesn't even need to be an elite one.
