Michael Owen Subtly Mocks VAR In Liverpool And Man. City Clash.

Michael Owen has had his take on Manchester City’s penalty claim which the referee overlooked as how it supposed to be without considering what the VAR reveals.

The Liverpool Legendary striker has his seat as an analyst on one TV channel and watched his former side thrashed their closest rival easily in what is supposed to be a more tighter game, though it is too early to rate as a title contender.

The game ended in favour of Liverpool but has a lot of talking points from penalty claims to poor refereeing.

In a post match analysis, Michael Owen claims the VAR [ Video Assistant Referee ] which is supposed to reveal more fishy things to the game officials, has done it job by revealing which is and not a penalty is the game. He claims the VAR cannot accept penalties, that is referee’s job and as the referee refused the penalty, VAR must be left alone.

Great game at Anfield. Brilliant goals, amazing atmosphere and loads of talking points. How the hell do we still get so many people having a pop at VAR? It did the exact job it was designed to do and had absolutely no impact on the game.

The penalty shout is purely the refs call. VAR doesn’t interfere with his decision as it’s not an obvious mistake. I worked on TV today. The opinion of everyone was totally split so how can we slaughter it for that? It had no other impact apart to confirm the 2nd goal was onside.

I was totally 50/50 on the penalty. Wouldn’t complain if he gave it or if he didn’t as it was a matter of opinion. The decision was the referees, not obvious enough to go to VAR. Quite ironic that it came off Silva’s hand onto Trent’s!

Do you remember his hat-trick against the same Manchester City in 2002/3 season?
