“Fans criticize VAR for excessive scrutiny in attempts to disallow Liverpool’s goals, claiming no other team faces such treatment.”

The combination of Liverpool and VAR is a frequently discussed topic, and unfortunately, it often brings controversy. In the match against Leicester, it seemed highly suspicious how VAR scrutinized every possible detail to find a reason to disallow Liverpool’s goal, even though the referees failed in their initial attempt.

Despite this, one of Gakpo’s goals was eventually disallowed after an unusually long review. The delay raised questions about whether it was due to weather conditions or simply incompetence.

Fans shared their frustration on social media:

💭 @CrimsonLFC: “VAR looking for every possible reason to cancel Liverpool’s goal.”

💭 @killashaw10: “Chris Kavanagh and VAR spent 15 minutes checking the second goal to find a way to rule it out for Liverpool.”

💭 @Kaytea21: “They work so hard to disallow goals for Liverpool with VAR. No other team faces this much scrutiny. It’s just absurd.”

💭 @WilcoFtbl: “I’ve never seen VAR take so long to confirm a perfectly legitimate goal. They’ll do anything to rule out a Liverpool goal.”

💭 @francoisplateau: “A long VAR check trying to find a reason to disallow Liverpool’s valid second goal, but it stands: Liverpool takes a 2-1 lead with Curtis Jones’ goal.”

💭 @JYeadon: “How many things did VAR check to rule out Liverpool’s goal? Ridiculous…”
