I doubt they know themselves, much of what they do seems to be completely arbitrary. Rules are applied one way one week and a completely different way the next. All VAR has done has added an extra layer of incompetence which seems to have been turned up to 11 since Webb took over.
It really isnt hard as a team to sit down and discuss/agree a consistent way to apply the rules when it comes to anything that can have massively different interpretations. This is what we have to do in my job all the time and it just happens automatically because we are adults.
Its a very basic common sense thing to do, which is what makes it so hard for me to comprehend how these things continue to happen on a weekly basis, by accident. Its borderline impossible on the stupid scale.
If we had some insight into why this doesnt seem to happen, again I'd be interested, purely because I cant possibly think what explanation can be given that wouldn't reflect very badly on the officials or more likely the people managing them.
Man Utd. Just checked and its Anthony Taylor, not Mike Dean.
2.1 yellow cards per game for United, 1.1 for their opponents. The only ref who has anything close to this big a differential not just for United, but with ANY team.
Maybe if they replaced Michael Owen with someone who'd dig up stuff like this and confront Webb with it, the show might actually be entertaining.
Maybe also if officials realised they're going to get called up on if they choose not to do their job properly, rather than just when Klopp doesn't win a game, they might actually start doing their job properly.
