Gallery: Liverpool, Everton, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle’s positions in the Premier League table absent VAR

In what ways has Liverpool’s standing in the Premier League been affected this season? They were the subject of yet another controversial VAR on Thursday, this time in Europe.

Jarell Quansah’s late strike was disallowed on Thursday night in the Europa League for Liverpool against Toulouse, a result of yet another contentious VAR decision. The score was 3-2. Following an apparent mishandling by Alexis Mac Allister earlier in the game, the referee was accompanied to the on-field monitor for an extended period of time during stoppage. It was then determined that the hosts would receive a free-kick since the goal had been ruled out.

“How can I decide that it wasn’t a handball? I just watched the video, but that’s not how I see it,” Reds manager Jurgen Klopp said following the match. “Indeed, the ball does enter the torso; however, I do not perceive it coming into contact with the arm. It’s possible that their photograph differed from mine. Since it has been quite some time since we scored the goal, I am curious as to where the free kick is.

That is quite intriguing; we might even agree to discuss it. I have heard, but not observed, that under alternative circumstances, we might have encountered repercussions. In all honesty, I would have preferred a greater performance from us; therefore, that is the aspect that causes me the most concern. That is my primary concern for the evening.”

Prior to this, in September, the Reds suffered a setback when Stockley Park botched the procedure and conceded the goal to Luis Diaz in a contentious 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur. The Reds will attempt to rebound from their Europa League defeat this weekend at Anfield against Brentford. An analysis has been conducted on the prospective Premier League standings in the absence of VAR, taking into consideration its recent controversies. As of now, the table may appear as follows, considering VAR decisions that led to the awarding or disallocation of goals, including those assessed penalties.
