Have we been unlucky with ref/VAR decisions in the previous 4 games.

I disagree, because if it was applied to offsides then you would just get more situations like the one against Villa, where the VAR ref tries desperately to find a way to justify the on-field decision, rather than overrule it.

With offsides, they should acknowledge the issue with the freezeframe not being precise. The VAR ref should rewind to the last identifiable frame before the ball is played, and if the player is onside there, but offside by millimetres on the next frame, then the advantage should be given to the attacking team and the goal should stand. If that means overruling the lino's flag then so be it.

There has to be a margin for error, this measuring down to mms is farcical. As per the above article a footballer can move 13cm between frames, a ball even quicker, so getting lines out to judge mms on frames which are slower than the speed a player and ball can move at means it'll never be accurate.

Since Dean and VAR have been proved to be at fault with the red card decision, is there any likelihood of repealing Che's off-sider goal and reinstalling it?

This 100%. It reallly isn't rocket science, is it, so why can't the FA/PL 'intelligentsia' see that the current way of interpreting the footage is fundamentally flawed? (yes, that was a rhetorical question!)

No.
