How much responsibility does Howard Webb bears with the recent VAR controversies? (alien.top)

Has he done enough to justify his position, should he be given more time, is VAR flawed beyond repair, is he responsible at all?

He seems more like a PR person than the Chief Refereeing Officer

I just don’t get the point of VAR anymore. I never wanted it in the first place, but I just hate the fact that all the brilliant raw emotion has been removed from the game while we forensically analyze every tiny frame of slo-mo. We’re not better off for it. Just bring in semi-auto offside, which is cut-and-dry, and let the coaches have one challenge per half or per game for anything that might be utterly and wildly obvious. Allowing VAR to intervene whenever they want has ruined it.
