VAR - is it needed, would it have helped?

Loads of decisions in the first 4 matches so far shown in MOTD that would have benefited from VAR today

Maybe but then decisions could go against you with var?
Take today handball 50/50 pull back could say wasn't goal denying position as defenders around him plus
He wasn't actually in possession ! At end day it's refs interpretation of what happened with or without var.

Murphy Pulled back - last man (debatable) - would have been in on goal - should have been red
Man City - 2nd goal - off side, ball out of play..... shouldn’t have been a goal
Kompany booked for studs high challenge on Lennon - should have been straight red
Just 3 of many decisions that VAR would/should pick up
There are pro’s and con’s for VAR, I’m still not 100% on it but feel that if it helped with these kinds of decisions then it’s going to make football a lot fairer for all....
