David Moyes is angry about VAR after West Ham's loss to Bristol City in the FA Cup with only 10 players.
West Ham, led by manager David Moyes, were eliminated from the FA Cup by Bristol City. Moyes expressed his frustration with the fact that VAR (video assistant referee) is not used in all FA Cup matches, after his team lost in the third round to Bristol City. In the initial match at London Stadium, West Ham and Bristol City drew 1-1, but Bristol City took the lead early in the replay at Ashton Gate with a goal from Tommy Conway in the third minute.

West Ham's Tomas Soucek had their best chance to score, but was denied by Bristol City's goalkeeper, Max O'Leary. Despite their efforts, West Ham was unable to equalize and secure a spot in the fourth round. Adding to their disappointment, West Ham's Said Benrahma was sent off in the second half for kicking out at Joe Williams in retaliation to a foul. However, some argued that Williams should have also been sent off for a reckless challenge on Hammers striker Danny Ings, but the referee did not have access to VAR.

Moyes expressed his frustration with the inconsistency of VAR in the FA Cup, stating that it is unfair for some teams to have it and others not. He believes that either VAR should be used in all matches or not at all. Despite the loss, Moyes remains hopeful for potential new signings before the January transfer deadline to strengthen the team for the remainder of the season.

Bristol City manager Liam Manning was pleased with his team's performance and the incredible atmosphere at the match. He believes there is still room for improvement and is looking forward to their upcoming match with either Nottingham Forest or Blackpool in the fourth round.
