Probably because there's about 25 soft penalties from the VAR every week!

Surely it has something to do with the whole Covid / no crowds etc.

Wrong side of some VAR Controversy that means we take a point instead of 3 and keeps the opposition goalie on the pitch for a shocking challenge that sees the worlds best defender now out injured for 12 months, all while still trying to compete with an average at best no. 2 keeper between the posts.
Barring an expensive purchase in the mid-season transfer window, we can’t win the title without Virg.

As you know I am passionate about my hammers and stoked with the 3-3 all draw but at 3-2 Gareth Bale is on goal and tries to side foot it in the corner but misses. Slightly after his shot the West Ham player clatters Bale hands out eseentially pushing him. It didn't really affect Bales shot. VAR does not look at it and the ref does not pay it a foul. Anywhere else on the park if that's not advantage the ref pulls it back for a foul but because he had a shot on goal no ref ever pays it.

I still dont know how Mane was conclusively offside in the lead up to (what would have been) the winning goal, and further more IF he was offside it would have been due to a non-scoring part of the body (arm). No point banging on about it given most clubs have had similar VAR calls go against them. Instead though I think they need to consider a change to the rule and perhaps just go by the position of players feet.
I hate technology in sport - I appreciate it results in a higher %age of correct calls being made, but it takes so much away from the spectacle ... Soccer, Rugby, Aussie rules are all better for the passion on display when a team scores, but celebrations are almost instantly shutdown by a need to wait until it clears video review. Takes so much away from the game(s) imho.
PS: BTW, how good was Lanzini's leveller?!?! Cracking hit
