"Was Dan Ndoye impacting Alisson when Murillo gave Nottingham Forest the lead at Anfield? You can make an argument for it, after all he was stood in front of the goalkeeper and the ball went past him. But, like at Manchester City two weeks ago, the video assistant referee (VAR) let the on-field decision stand. In one game, Liverpool have a goal disallowed."
"When Eberechi Eze scored the Gunners' second goal, Bukayo Saka, Martin Zubimendi and Leandro Trossard were all in an offside position in front of the Spurs goalkeeper, but the goal stood. "I think this is preventing an opponent from being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the line of vision," Joe Hart said on Match of the Day. "As it leaves his foot, Trossard is in [Guglielmo] Vicario's line of vision. Offside in my opinion.""
Subjective offside decisions remain contentious and directly influence match outcomes, as shown by recent incidents involving Liverpool conceding and having a goal disallowed. Historical wording in the Laws of the Game has long required judgment about interference even when an offside player does not touch the ball. Tottenham felt aggrieved after an Arsenal goal stood despite multiple players being in offside positions in front of the goalkeeper. Broadcaster Joe Hart argued that line-of-vision obstruction justified offside in that case. The VAR focuses on whether offside players move away from play and whether the goalkeeper can see the ball at the shot.
