They wonder why they are going out of business with nonsense like that.

Almost all of the decisions for VAR they have had were line calls and correct decisions. No "rightly or wrongly" about it. They were offside. To allow offside goals in would be cheating.

So yes in an abstract sense, had Liverpool been allowed to cheat by scoring illegal goals, they'd have had more points. I mean have we not got better things to be writing about than this?

a team with 3 wins out of 8 at home are Liverpool’s nearest challengers. Absolutely ridiculous.

On a serious note City look to have a better defence than Liverpool now. If they can keep Aguero fit they look like they could challenge. United have better depth in attack and better away form. If they can sort the home form out they can challenge this Liverpool team.

Klopp hasn’t been under pressure before of being favourites and having challengers. Let’s see if the Manchester teams can turn the screw.

City are real dark horses for me. Sorted their defence out and got lots of attacking players to return. At some point KDB clicks into gear as well.

United are an odd one. Would normally rule them out, but unlike a Leicester/Spurs/Arsenal they won't be overawed by Liverpool.

I'll keep saying what I've said for a while, despite the desperation to have a coronation of them as champions the title race is wide open. They are favourites, but have less than a 50% of doing it. You have lots of teams who look unlikely to win it currently.

All that shows is that refs are calling decisions in their favour that are wrong and then need to be overturned whereas refs are making incorrect calls against us that then get correctly overturned.

Absolutely this all day long.

Teams that get VAR decisions against them should not generally be getting those decisions in the first place (obviously there is the occasional shocker from VAR but most are factual offside or penalty issues where a player has dived and not been touched).

I am not a fan of VAR for many reasons but it protects the less fashionable clubs more than it favours the fashionable.

There’s too many of these sorts of metrics that the two clubs seem to be at polar opposites on when really the league positions have never dictated that. Penalties is another one. Liverpool are often receiving the most, or very close to the most, penalties in a season whereas we don’t receive a middling amount, we’re often getting the least or every near it. There’s no good reason that two clubs currently in the top 4 should be at opposite ends of these type of stats this season but again we seem to be.

if only we could ask the impartial tv pundits like:
souness
carragher
murphy
barnes
owen
lawrenson
aldridge
hamman
mellor
mcmannaman
Rednap
james
beglin
thompson

and we'd get the result that Richarlison goes down too easily
