Just seen the re-run of the Maguire assault in the bar. The only explanation for the lack of a red card is unpalatable...

Well the application of it was shocking tonight bar the offside - really poor
Don’t think it could be any worse - Anthony Taylor and then VAR.
There was a image about which team has benefited most from VAR and it had UTD , can see why tonight

VAR is gifting Liverpool the league this year in all fairness. All their contenders getting shafted by it, whilst liverpool know they'll get the benefit. I mean, Mane at the weekend pushing the Norwich defender out of the way before he scored. Had Aguero done that, no goal

Sorry, I’m an Everton fan and this is either the biggest fishing trip going or you hate LPool, either way, poor effort.

I agree ????
Did you not see 2 Norwich players wrestle VVD to the floor in the penalty box on Saturday??
As for Mane's goal, 6ft 4 Zimmerman blatantly miss times the flight of the ball and goes down like a bag of shite.

I can't understand how back when we played Chelsea, Son got a VAR red card for kicking out at Rudiger, Maguire does exactly the same today, I mean near identical, and he's not even booked. As I said in the footy thread - VAR was meant to bring consistency wasn't it?? Awful. What a waste of time.

Paul, his foot is offside in relation to the defender's foot; but is it offside in relation to his arm & shoulder, and therefore was he actually offside?

No look at Martial's swinging elbow that has apparently broken Christensen's nose, a questionable offside, ignoring the clear push by Fred that launched Azpilicueta into the Utd defender, the Maguire assault, the list goes on. It is a catalogue of complete & utter ineptitude by Taylor & VAR and they wonder why fans get peed off.

There is always something that defines a Premiership season such as:
The season of the United treble
The season of the Special one
The season that Blackburn won
The season that Leicester won
The season of the Arsenal invincibles
The season Newcastle lost the big lead
The season of the Gerrard slip
This season will be the season of VAR
Ahhh well, at least Liverpool fans will remember it for other reasons, and no doubt they'll remind the rest of us for the next 30 years
BTW, I do agree that Maguire was lucky not to be sent off, given it was similar to Son. But, I do believe there was no intent. In fact, I'm not sure even Son should have been sent off , only because it should didn't seem violent or would ever cause any damage. Not like the time Ortega rammed his head into Van der Saar's chin. I think football has become a touch too soft. Of course, it's only a subjective opinion. I'd like to see a few games with a bit of robust tackling and aggression, without risking serious injuries of course. Players just seem a little placid these days

All of those seasons had a winner and they are the ones that are remembered for their consistent excellence that year. Winning the league isn’t luck. It’s performance week in week out.
Liverpool are the best team in the league by a wide margin in a very good league and that shows in the table.
VAR hasn’t won them the title, their team has.

Agree with the first line
Not sure how many non-Liverpool fans will agree 100% with the second line although I think you're right
Are you serious?
You think anyone can realistically claim var has cost city 25 points?

Slightly facetious but it has seemed to have cost the other top sides at key times. I did also say Liverpool deserve to win. by far the best team

S'funny how people see things differently. This still does not change the FACT that Mane pushed (albeit ever so slightly but enough to put the player off balance as he jumped) the defender. VAR is not to blame, it's the humans who are watching in Liverpool shirts in the control box.
