Why did VAR only show the one image that maybe looked a little like a pen but not the one from behind the goal that didn't? What is wrong with these people?

Other way round and Pep would be screaming for a pen.
The one on Dunk on Saturday was ten times the pen that that was but, perhaps rightly, was not overuled by VAR.
Must be watching a different game as I thought it a stonewall penalty.

Would you say the same if it was given against the Albion ?
If the ref had given it on the field then no real problem but VAR have no business getting involved with a subjective decision like that. The same ref was persuaded by VAR to give a pen against us at Villa Park when his body language clearly gave away that he didn't agree. Why don't they stand up for themselves?

Hasn't the principle of VAR been ignored again? Ref doesn't give it on the field so VAR should only get involved if it's a clear and obvious error.
From one angle it might look like defender deliberately gives subtle nudge with leg to put attacker off balance. Alternative opinion with other angles it looks like Villa player is simply slowing down waiting for the contact and then takes a tumble.
On that basis way too subjective to declare that ref's original decision is a clear and obvious error. Ergo it should not have been a penalty

Never
Exactly. And yet Hinshelwood's very clear foul v Villa a couple of weeks ago wasn't deemed a clear error. Lunatics.

More than enough contact for me to knock the Villa player off balance - effectively taking him out. Something the ref missed and so VAR right to intervene - in my opinion.
The ground is only half full

Lots of empty seats. Why can’t fans just transfer their seat to Tom Dick or Harry for free if they don’t fancy it as there’s nothing to play for
I think the City fans are engaged in ongoing protests against the club with regard to various ticketing policies, so that might be a part of it.
