Either way, I thought a penalty should have been given.

For the Thiago challenge ? It looked outside from all the replays ?

How is the line from Firminos foot going through the knee of the Leicester player ?‍♂️

Without any crowd, I would have expected to have heard Allison’s shout that he was coming for the ball. If he has done that then the defender should be nowhere near it, but I’m not sure he did shout.

Looking at Allison’s starting position I didn’t think it was unreasonable for him to come for it, he was there well before the Leicester player.
Yes but so was the CB ! No need for the keeper imo.
At 0-1 We should have shut up shop ,two banks of four and make them come out ,leave two up front.
The only danger was the ball over the top, or free kicks.
Tiago really needs to stop giving stupid free kicks away.
 
Looks like Firminio foot and Leicester players head/shoulder to me
I didn't see the game so I don't know how this incident played out. I don't even know who is attacking. Based on that angle I'd call that level and crack on. What was the actual decision? Did they have other angles to go off that were clearer?

They scored straight from the free kick .
The problem is where they measure the lines from .
I thought it was his armpit unless another part is off foot, knee etc.
If that’s the one they used it’s really poor they should have one more inline in a PL ground.

So liverpool are wanting an offside against Leicester based on that picture? Nothing clear and obvious based on that alone unless I'm missing something.

It was given as offside by the linesman

The judged the player level because of Firminos foot in var

But the lines they used -

The still was just before the ball was played

The line on the Leicester player appears to not be on the point closest to the goal - if they used that then it would be in front of the line they used on Firminos foot

Doesn’t excuse the folding after Leicester scored even though there was also a clear foul in the build up for the second

Just seems everything going wrong at the moment and confidence is shot - until the first goal it was looking good. Add in another three injuries now as well

This is why they need to decide by eye rather than lines. It feels so stupid to debate where a line needs to be drawn when you can simply watch the replay in slow motion and see if it they look level or not. It really could be that simple. If it takes this long to work it out with the lines then he's level. End of.

Not really VAR is a joke it’s virtually impossible to be level.
Your on or off , but imo the attacker should get the benefit of the dought.
But as Phil says there seems to be no consistent placement of the lines.
It was more the time it took for VAR to decide it wasn’t a penalty ,then if he was onside .
It takes far to long and the players are just standing getting cold.
We went to pieces after that decision.
 
Exactly so should go with the Lino’s decision .
I thought they only changed it if it was clear and obvious?

That's not what they said or decided at any point with var

Clear and obvious only for missed fouls etc

All goals will be checked for offside, we had one against us given offside then given by var, just one them things

I think when it’s that tight the benefit should go to the attack anyway .
VAR is causing more problems than it’s solving for me.
