There was a big controversy as to the VAR intervention in that Liverpool disallowed "Offside" goal. It is clear that the goal was Onside and somehow the communication between the VAR official and the Referee was a mess. But there are so many decisions that VAR did not intervene. One was against Liverpool in their match against West Ham in their previous fixture, when West Ham's Bowen was clearly brought down in the penalty box. Surprisingly the VAR Officials did not ask the referee to take a look at the screen. But to me these are still very early days, and like last season when Tottenham were expected to finish in the top four and even be the title contenders. However, they fell by the wayside and did not even make the top six for a European spot. Newcastle were one of the surprise top four contenders. Well, Man United started last season at the bottom of the table, however, Ten Hag really turned it around for them. Yes, that may not be the case this time.
