According to this analysis of VAR decisions for the 22/23 season, Liverpool were the joint second beneficiaries of VAR decisions, while City were bottom.
So why do #LFC fans believe there is a conspiracy against them? Where does that belief stem from?

The analysis also takes into account subjective decisions, not just goals.
I’m not sure every fanbase does think refs are out to get them. I don’t get that sense in the Spurs community, for instance. But can’t speak for everyone.
So no, I’m just trying to get to the bottom of why Liverpool fans seem to think they get an unfair share of bad decisions leading to talk of conspiracy theories.
Hillsborough and Thatcherism don’t seem like particularly valid reasons.
Yes, but by subjective calls do they mean penalty decisions and red cards? What about decisions that are not reviewed? That’s what I mean. It’s only showing corrective actions.
If you look at the 2021-2022 link, the Rodri handball incident is not included.
Here are a couple pretty biased articles if you want a read.
