VAR is a waste of space , it just pushes human error further down the line , if it isnt the ineptitude of the officials on the pitch then its the stupidity of three faceless individuals a couple of hundred miles away , they are just shifting the blame.
Get rid of it and let match paying supporters enjoy the game again , the theatrics of VAR were only brought in for the likes of Sky and the other TV companies, its absolute horseshit.

100%. I might just be able to accept it if it meant getting most of the decisions right but they don’t. Only saw a couple of games yesterday ours, with the ridiculous non-overturn of the non-foul on Allison. And the Burnley non-penalty in the first half was about as stonewall as you get- and VAR didn’t overturn the onfield decision. What’s the point of putting up with all the ridiculously long delays if they can’t get basic things right. Get rid.
 
I had the footage of my phone in the ground as did some of the lads sat in front of me and they were adamant it was never a foul. I didn't disagree but pointed out why he'd given it.

Looking back at it now in no way is that enough contact on Alison to blow for a foul and excuse his flapping. You can see he managed to fully extend both of his arms and reach. Akanji doesn't get any leverage from it or effect Alison's jump or reaching to catch the ball nor does he jump into him. He goes down, grabs his foot, all their hands go up and the ref is straight in.

The contact is akin to tapping someone on the shoulder, for a foul you'd need to put your hand on their shoulder and turn them.

One said "its one that can go either way". Yeah, if that it was on Ederson he doesn't blow and leaves it to VAR to 'overrule' him.
