David Moyes believes West Ham have been on the mistaken finish of too many unusual VAR choices.
Having been denied penalties for handballs in opposition to Liverpool and Manchester United in latest weeks, the Hammers had a objective contentiously dominated out of their 2-0 defeat at Brentford.
When Stated Benrahma’s cross got here again off a submit it hit Divin Mubama, who had put his hand as much as forestall himself from crashing into the woodwork.
Manuel Lanzini swept the ball again into the field to go away Dany Ings with a tap-in to halve the deficit with 25 minutes remaining.
However referee Michael Oliver went to the pitchside monitor and dominated that younger striker Mubama had dealt with the ball.
“Very unusual,” mentioned Hammers boss Moyes. “The Premier League have come out and referred to as it deliberate handball. I believe we want a little bit of rationalization on that.
“The very first thing I might say about it’s it’s inconclusive. If something I believe it hits his shoulder, proper on his collarbone.
“If it’s a handball that results in a objective everyone knows that rule, however I actually don’t see deliberate. If something he may be defending himself from going into the submit. I’m amazed it was chalked off.
“However, let’s be honest, if this was the primary one we had been speaking about in latest video games I might say it will probably occur, however we’re now speaking about three of those.
“It’s getting common. It truly is. I don’t wish to get in hassle however we’ve had three actual ones that would have altered issues, and when you mentioned we’ve had our justifiable share, I’m saying I don’t assume now we have.”
In fact Brentford, main by means of first-half targets from Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, might have been 4 or 5 up by the point Ings’ objective was disallowed.
Moyes’ priorities clearly lie elsewhere regardless of not being mathematically protected from relegation, with the Hammers boss making 9 modifications to his aspect forward of Thursday evening’s Europa Convention League semi-final second leg in opposition to AZ Alkmaar.
Nevertheless, if Moyes hoped to be given some choice dilemmas for the journey to the Netherlands, he was left sorely dissatisfied.
Mbeumo pounced after a mistake by Nayef Aguerd and Wissa headed the second after West Ham did not take care of Mathias Jensen’s lengthy throw.
“I didn’t benefit from the efficiency. I believed we had been gentle, simple to play in opposition to. It was so poor,” added Moyes.
“We did some work on defending lengthy throws, however you wouldn’t have thought it watching that in the present day. I’m so dissatisfied the gamers didn’t take care of it.”
The Bees at the moment are assured of a top-10 end, proving there isn’t a such factor as second-season syndrome on this nook of west London.
“I used to be requested earlier than the season about that,” mentioned boss Thomas Frank, “and with out sounding too good we tried to analyse issues, regarded on the gamers, the opposite groups, our performances, our tradition, and we thought why shouldn’t we have the ability to do nicely in our second season?
“Now we’re 100 per cent within the high 10, which is a superb achievement.”
