As I've said before, and many others have said, get rid of the bloody lines. If VAR cannot 100% tell whether it is offside or not, then that confirms that the linesman did not make an obvious error. So, just stick with his decision.
I also note the camera was at quite an angle to the lines being drawn. I'm not sure how accurate the technology is in setting the lines in place, especially as Richarlison's foot was up in the air. The line looked significantly in front of his foot, which could be down the angle we were looking at it. Not sure if VAR just estimates this, or they have NASA type technology that pinpoints the perfect line location.
Could of been worse?

Pre VAR had those 2 goals been given nobody really would've complained about the offside as he never gained any real advantage.
Whilst it looks harsh, using the technology he was just offside. There will always be controversey to the really tight ones.
Afterall, it was the armchair fans/telly clappers/social media ultras that used to whinge the most for technology to be used.

Might be a silly comment to make in public.
Not when that photo was taken he wasn’t and by the way, our Manager has won the European Cup.?What, having a European cup and PL winning manager and striker?

I'd guess you missed the game against Brighton then!...
Long way to go this season but we playing good football and enjoyable to watch
To be fair Stu, they weren't the only ones but we were sold it on clear and obvious errors and diving cheats as I remember, not gnat's todger offside decisions.

Of course, I never remember managers crying out for it after they were on the end of a wrong decision. I wonder how the authorities heard the loud voices of the telly clappers. After all, they have a TV, but I don't think they've a microphone
How many armchair fans did you hear crying out for it? You're obsessed by telly clappers. Football is shown extensively on television, and that is not going to change soon. So, I recommend you get over it, I think it'll make you so much happierI take what managers say after games with a pinch of salt.
From your favourite viewing point in your armchair, How many times did you hear the crowds in all different matches singing songs for VAR or Waving flags asking for VAR??
Both were offside last night, end of story, we’ve (like most teams) been on both sides of VAR decisions and you have to accept them.
The automated VAR is currently being trialled and we’ll see if anything changes.
I was hoping to have a nice draw against someone like Harrogate, instead we get "Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa FC" (their full name). I guess it will be a good warm up for the league, as we play each other the following week I believe.Out of the last 21 seasons, with 63 possible opponents to choose from, Aston Villa have drawn Manchester United in the third round of the FA cup five times - 24% of the time!
Just feels like we always get United
Bring them on
