VAR again had its say as Liverpool dropped two points at Brighton on Saturday lunchtime.

Pascall Gross' late penalty was given after VAR advised Stuart Atwell to take a look at the pitchside monitor.

That was after the Reds had seen two of their goals ruled out for offside – one in either half.

VAR's introduction had long been called for, but now as many people want it axed as want to keep it.

After the contest Jordan Henderson said: "We are talking about instances all the time and not the football. In my opinion I would rather play without it, yeah."

It was a sentiment echoed by his Liverpool team-mates as James Milner took to Twitter to make his opinion known.

He said: "It’s “clear and obvious” we need a serious discussion about VAR. Sure I’m not alone in feeling like they are falling out of love with the game in its current state."

While left-back Andy Robertson, who was guilty of giving away the late penalty, wants for player input.

He said on social media: "Wonder when the people playing the game will have a say! Very frustrating day but credit to Brighton, really tough opponent!"

But have Liverpool actually won more than they've lost when it comes to VAR?

You think back to contentious penalties in their Champions League Final victory but then counter that with marginal offside calls like in the recent Merseyside derby.

We take a look at the VAR calls in the Premier League that have involved the Reds.

It's been an extremely interesting start to the season for Jurgen Klopp's men.

They got their title defence off to a shaky start as they edged out a seven-goal thriller against Leeds, before going on to conceded seven in a hammering by Aston Villa.

Virgil van Dijk's season was ended by injury in the 2-2 draw at Everton, leaving the title favourites looking far less secure at the back – especially with Alisson's injury worries too.

But there's no slowing down in what is going to be a busy campaign – with Klopp ensuring his men continue at full pace as they bid for more title glory.
