why would it be a joke
Because Gakpo literally trips over his own feet.
Seriously. Are you watching that and seeing a Bournemouth player clipping him from behind, rather than him tripping over his own feet…?

So why didn’t VAR overturn it
As you can see Cook has clipped him which made him trip which why VAR/PGMOL clarified the decision
The Bournemouth player as they said didn’t complain

Why didn’t VAR overturn it? Damn good question. I have no idea.
Please don’t try and suggest the angle of the link you’ve provided gives a better view of the incident than the previous one.
I repeat the question. Using the better angle (first link provided). Are you honestly seeing a Bournemouth player clip Gakpo rather than Gakpo tripping over his own feet?!?!

So you don’t see Gakpos leg get clipped by Cook ?
Surely the better angle is from behind both players
Forget Liverpool and their dodgy penalties, today is about Forest and Everton. Both with minority possession stats, 11 goals in credit

Now he's started to score I'm expecting a £70m bid from Arsenal for Beto tomorrow

From that angle it looks soft.
From another angle we could see any contact.

It’s a slightest touch and whilst a player is running it will cause them to trip - it’s always clever by a forward when they cut across a defender - Cook knew there was a touch hence why he didn’t complain

Interesting challenge on Watkins there. A defender jumps and catches a forward on back with a high knee, ref often gives a foul (especially outside box). Keeper does it, no problemo

I don't get how you aren't seeing it, unless you're tuning him up. Pretty simple penalty.
I will say that from the first angle I saw it I thought Gakpo tripped over his own feet. But, from behind, you can clearly see the Bournemouth player catch him, which then causes what follows.
Penalty for me.
Penalty for me.

Always been that way.
A ref told me it was for the keeper to protect himself while his arms are above his head.
Make of that what you will.

That’s an interesting VAR call
If Rodgers wasn’t there would the defender be able to get out to the attacker
Is he impacting the play because the defender is focussed on him
Not sure why they didn’t send the ref to the screen to at least check it

Seen a few random reports that United will be paying 40% of his wages and Villa the other 60%
With the deal having an option to buy
But I can’t see Villa giving him £350k a week

I haven’t actually seen the incident, but given what happened last week with Arsenal and had happened on other occasions, I don’t think we can use the line about VAR overturning/not overturning a decision to make sure it is correct.
