Coaches and the media are all onboard the f*ck VAR train. Seems a bit dramatic.

When you look at it objectively there are certainly mistakes but short of the Liverpool incident, which they openly acknowledged was a goof, there hasn't been a large amount of completely wrong calls. Most calls are close or debatable, people would have been pissed about them even without VAR.

I'm pretty neutral on the PL, I like the competition and enjoy good football so I'm not trying to be anti Man U here.

I was merely pointing out that looking at a stat like this feels like trying to prop up an overall mediocre start to the season on an oddly specific stat.

As a neutral, the game was great!

I was definitely surprised to see Chelsea be able to hang in there at all though. They've not looked like a team for ages. Feels like it came out of nowhere.
