- Forshaw leaving the field so early.
I hope it's precautionary.
Totally agree, even when they came back twice, 2 mistakes got whu 2 goals.
VAR did their level best to keep them in it, overall, we were the better side and deserved the win.

Last week's goal shouldn't have stood either. Certainly our goal there was no contention because it clearly hit Rodrigo who was in an offside position. Last week it was open to the debate of interfering with play and clearly for me a player basically running over the ball and trying to touch it is interfering with play.

Unless you are a LU hating VAR official looking for any excuse to rob us.
Common sense dosen't even come into it.

Even if the West Ham no23 was stood on the goaline it wouldn't matter as the law is that there needs to be 2 opposition players between the attacking player and the goaline for it to be onside. Usually it is the case that the keeper is 1 of the players as they are normally the nearest to the line but in this case that wasn't the case.

Good to see it is not only the idiots that don't know the rules.....

Yeah realised that later, always forget the goalkeeper ... The natural instinct is to look at the last defender
