It’s beggars belief that the on field ref can’t just run over to a screen and watch a replay.

It should be like Rugby where the ref and the video bod talk to each other while reviewing the incident on a big screen which everyone can see.
It’s worked well for years that way on rugby.

May as well give those monitors to CashConverters for all the use they are getting
Goals change matches and so if City got the penalty (I think they should have) and gone 1-0 up then a totally different scenario. That said the second two Liverpool goals have been really good and no qualms. Does simply question how good VAR is and why is it so inconsistent so what is given one week is not given the next when looking at the pictures appears to the neutral at home exactly the same. Sadly today in what is arguably the biggest game of the season they have got it badly wrong. That said Liverpool have been the better side throughout but how different could it have been?

Both managers should have had a word in their ears from the officials after a bit of OTT reactions
his dive was great
Agreed though I can see why Pep feels hard done by. That said they need to keep it in check and their reactions help no-one. Makes you wonder why the 4th official can't do more to reign them in
😂😂😂
neither were a penalty.
Best team won and var was spot on!
Nice to old slap head being so gracious in defeat

Think we need to disagree early on. First one I thought was a clear penalty especially when you see the hand is in an unnatural position under the current guidance. I though at the very least the referee should have looked at it. Clearly you disagree and I respect that so we'll hold our opinions and differ
First one, it hit the city players arm first

BOOM! All aboard.
VAR took 3.5 minutes to disallow a Sheffield United goal for no real reason yesterday.
Today, within 10 seconds, 2 handballs were decided, and there was none of that line drawing check on Salah for offside.
Where is the consistency?
VAR is causing more issues than it’s worth imo.

But then hit the Liverpool player's arm. So even if it wasn't a penalty, under the current rules the Liverpool goal should have been disallowed due to handball in the build up to the goal.

I agree. The offside today was near identical to yesterday and yet one took 3.5 mins to decide and the other 3.5 secs. I’d argue that the line for the ’offside’ wasn't correctly drawn today.
Being clear, the team with the better defence won today.
