First of all - it wasn't a pass from De Gea - he wasn't even on the bench.
Just looked at the line ups, didn’t even notice that it was Henderson.

However much we’d like it to, VAR isn’t going away .
However much we’d like it to, VAR isn’t going away but getting rid of the incompetent idiot at the top, Mike Riley would be my starting point to possible improvement. One of our big issues is how it’s being implemented and the bloke at the top has to carry the can. From comments I see on social media other ex refs feel the same. They’re being led by a man who ‘leads’ in the same way as he officiated....weak, inconsistent, easily led with poor communication skills....all of which is replicated in the way VAR is being used week in, week out. I can’t ever remember him fronting up and carrying out an interview on mainstream media since VAR was introduced...the bloke’s a joke. Get rid.
Sad . And unfortunately true. It’s genuinely killing my love for the game though and I know I will carry on like an idiot but hand on heart im not sure how long I can carry on. It’s just not fun anymore. I don’t watch football to stand around waiting to celebrate.

I've not looked but do fans in Europe have the same issues as us with VAR or are their officials less pedantic?

And that other pompous buffoon David Ellary is head of the International Refs board. You couldn't make it up.
Baggies suffering like us. Their defeat at the Theatre of nightmares was every bit as wrong as last season at Arsenal and Palace and this year against Brighton and West Ham for the Villa.Another marginal VAR decision in Albion game....but as it’s gone against Albion and means Pereira, one of their better players, won’t play against us, it’s a perfectly fair judgement on this occasion....
And now what do they do those refs who have been heavily 'noticed'? They either reward them high profile European games away from these shores, make them the 4'th official or even worse make them the var official. Oh My GodIt was always said that if you didnt notice the referee he had had a good game. Problem with the whole VAR thing is that in referees minds it has made them the stars of the game, and pushed them in the limelight.
The only way we will get rid, or at least make it bearable is, when we are back to full capacity in stadiums to have concerted demonstrations against it.
They have had it all their own way up to now, but that will change.
