    VAR has genuinely ruined football
    Same football nerds who get hard over xG like VAR. Don't know any match going fan who likes it

    It was offside, clearly.

    And I didn't think it was a penalty.

    Just a shame though, would have been good to see Coventry win, means so much more to the Championship side.
    So why was VAR required? It clearly wasn't clear was it, hence the need for VAR.
    'Clearly' was possibly a bad choice of words!!  I mean now we've seen the lines, yes it wasn't offside by much, but now it's been looked at it was offside.

    It was offside. Sucks, but it was. 
    Congratulations.

    Now, about that Arsenal handball that wasn't given when he picked the ball up in the area? Where was VAR then?
    "Hey United, we can see it's offside but we're deciding to give the goal because 'the magic of the cup'. Hope you understand."
    Yeah you're absolutely right. This was definitely 'clear and obvious' wasn't it?

    Having to zoom x100 to check that the guy potentially had his little toenail offside.


    My god that is pathetic. And to think people enjoy football going this way 🤦‍♂️

    I'm no great fan of VAR, but if you're going to use it for offsides, then it has to be used like this.

    And lets face it, if it had been a Man U winning goal disallowed because Diallo was 5cm offside, would people have been so upset?

    Gary Neville made a good point on Sky earlier. He pointed to the fact that since INEOS have gone in they've basically cleared out most other senior positions. New CEO, new technical director, trying to get Dan Ashworth as sporting director. So it would be pretty bizarre to do all that and then off the back of awful performances and not qualifying for the champions league, go and stick with the same manager.

    really good second goal. Man U players finally earning some of their money. 

    Pep bitching to the officials at half time. wonder what he is moaning about. his team so far have been out done.

    Got a tenner on United to win 2-0 at 40/1 so I'll be in the unenviable position of spending the whole of second half shouting "don't do anything!" at the telly.

    Think its fair to say most want it only used for clear and obvious errors, but how can you ignore the fine margin errors if spotted?

    United should bring Hojlund on now, they need something to stick when they clear it now City are pushing up and trying to put pressure on.

    Foden doesn't seem to have got going this afternoon either.

    Edit - apart from setting up Alvarez for their best chance.
