Embarrassing again don't know why the stubbornness about not allowing referee use monitors. Just stop the game and go look to monitor to look closely and let referee make the final decision its not very hard
This.VAR is just a tool for the FA and EPL to control the outcome. No wonder Liverpool is going unbeaten in the first year it’s been used.
Funny thing is this list doesn’t even account for the decisions that have been completely ignored by VAR. eg, Cresswell challenge on Pepe, numerous penalties not given etc.How VAR is affecting teams:

Arsenal is still at -1 even after West Ham decision .
No prizes for guessing that Man Utd and Liverpool are the top 2.
United's first(probably) goal today had a foul in the build up. Of course VAR didn't even bother with that

Think the good thing with VAR is that it has shown how bias the refs actually are. Before VAR you could probably make the excuse them given how little time they had to make the calls when they happened. With this one e.g. you can only give it if you really want to give it. That is how you lead the league in penalties not by one or two more.
This is just crazy now.
How does that get upheld.
By being biased and corrupt?FA admitting they botched VAR calls in each of yesterday’s matches.
How can they be so f*cking useless?
Here are a few important changes that will be brought into effect regarding the use of VAR during the 2020/21 campaign:
Using pitch-side monitors for VAR decisions:
Last season, the on-field referees depended solely on their counterparts at Stockley Park to make decisions but this time around, the referees have been encouraged to use the pitch-side monitors more often.
Not raising flags for potential offside decisions:
Linesmen have been asked not to raise their flags immediately for a potential offside decision in case of direct goal-scoring opportunities. And this is in line with the rule that is currently being used in the UEFA competitions.
Keeping an eye on goalkeepers:
During the 2020/21 Premier League season, VAR will now have the job to monitor goalkeepers during penalties in order to make sure they keep one of their feet planted on the goal line when the ball is struck.
VAR to determine encroachments:
Encroachments will also be dealt with by the VAR but on a case to case basis.
A player will only be punished for encroaching during a penalty if he is directly influencing the game(either by scoring a goal or by clearing the ball).
No more lines for VAR:
Last season, the television fans got to see lines drawn on the screen whenever there was an offside decision being taken.
But for the current Premier League season, the authorities have made it clear that no such lines will be drawn during the course of the match. Broadcasters might do the same but only once the match is finished.
