8 months agoI’m pretty neutral on the PL, I like the competition and enjoy good football so I’m not trying to be anti Man U here.
I was merely pointing out that looking at a stat like this feels like trying to prop up an overall mediocre start to the season on an oddly specific stat.
Coaches and the media are all onboard the f*ck VAR train. Seems a bit dramatic.
When you look at it objectively there are certainly mistakes but short of the Liverpool incident, which they openly acknowledged was a goof, there hasn’t been a large amount of completely wrong calls. Most calls are close or debatable, people would have been pissed about them even without VAR.
