A poor decision to give Everton a penalty there. His positioning
for the incident was terrible. He had a rubbish view and
couldn’t see the whole incident.
At least we didn’t have to wait 5 minutes for VAR to decide…

I'd rather have the correct decision madr than potentially be
knocked out of the cup on a guess

Brooks wouldn’t have guessed though would he. His opinion of a
penalty was wrong. That’s all.
It’s the eternal debate of VAR isn’t it. If we don’t want it
then we have to take these decisions because they will happen.

This is the problem though. People say they don't want VAR and
say it is rubbish, until their team are on the wrong end of a
poor decision at which point they demand VAR. Referees have
made mistakes from the year dot, people conveniently forget
that's why VAR was desired and needed.

He's either not seen the incident and had a guess or had a
hallucination and gave it for something that didnt happen, can't
have it both ways

Or saw something from the angle he had that he thought was a
foul.
From all the TV shows we see nowadays with match official audio,
it’s clear that decisions are not only made by one person, but
often with immediate input from the other officials. We don’t
know
