VAR just being implemented however any one official sees fit. How did it come to this 
only the premier league could mess this up.

Or a Liverpool player in general
He's had an easy fixture list but well done to Steve Bruce in recent weeks. Pleased to see him doing well.
Bonkers table with Newcastle 2 points off the top 6. More's the point they're 7 ahead of the relegation zone. As you're normally looking at around a point a game for teams in the bottom 3 (worse than that so far this season) that's a nice cushion. 5 or 6 defetas on the bounce and they still probably wouldn't be in the drop zone.

Hate VAR!
So refs aren't impartial. Players do theatrics because if they play normally, they get nothing
Lacazette
Now Arsenal want a penalty. Lacazette missed a sitter as well.
How did they not score
Lacazette
also looked handball live but no var at all
They’re not impartial, they can only try to be. I think when the contact is exaggerated so much it makes them doubt the extent of the contact. There’s an art to diving.
How is that not a pen for handball
Would that have been given? They took the advantage and tried to score.
this ref isn’t bothered to use VAR tonight it seems.
Not easy to be a ref in all honesty
At least one penalty missed in this game, arguably two, but VAR focuses on toenails being offside
obviously VAR is useless if you don't intend on using it.
Not VAR fault. Blame the refs and these are the refs that fans want to revert back to.
Its all reverse logic
I think var is supposed to be checking these incidents all the time, if they think there’s an issue they have a word in the refs ear to stop the game?
The ref can also forcibly send for a VAR check, but doesn’t have to.

I think VAR is dead for EPL, at least this stupid version of it.
The team occupying the fourth placed spot have the third best form (along with Man City) after Chelsea, and Liverpool. It is within our interest for their rhythm to be disrupted.
Prior to the game United were 10 points behind Leicester, not ideal but not big enough for United to concede ambitions to secure a top 4 place by the end of the season.
They play Brighton next who are doing considerably well given they narrowly escaped relegation last season. With Brighton currently having the 6th best form in the league, and United potentially causing a bump tomorrow,
they would be well up for it against Leicester as they are currently exceeding expectations.
How do you miss the target from there ?
It makes zero sense leaving the option to use VAR at the ref's discretion.
Is that true? Thought VAR were the ones notifying the refs.
If the ref is adamant that he sees it then there isnt much VAR can do.
Thatss the way I understood it?
Seriously love watching this Leicester team play, it’s just fun quick attacking football.
It's the ref's call on whether to leave the decision to VAR.
It's stupid but there you go.
Leicester getting closer. Just a matter of time methinks.
Was Ayoze this good at Newcastle ?
He got some vital goals for them.
Wait what
how stupid is thisInsanely passive tactics again, it's only a matter of time till we concede if we stay this deep. Though if we do concede/ lose, we're at least closer to being rid of Emery...
Leicester looking good.
Arsenal playing midtable football with midtable tactics.
everyone praising Leicester but everyone seems to be ignoring how wide open they are at the back.
Some lovely football being played in this game
Pretty even, this
Exactly, Rodgers is no better than he was at Pool. Never an elite manager.
Looking at Leicester play, it kinda reinforces how crucial coaching and tactics are - they don't have 11 world class players but play good football. Put this in context of United and you start to think if I is really all the players fault?!
Leicester look like they're playing Watford
