Best Answer
In Clan Wars, stars are everything. That means you need to try and wipe their base, rather than just raid it for resources. Remember that stars are only awarded for destruction of the town hall, and for 50% and 100% base destruction.
Goblins are good for raiding resources. They hit collectors and storages for extra damage, but they are relatively weak otherwise. Mortars make short work of them, and they can't really hit walls well enough to break through.
Most other troops either hit defenses or don't have a particular target they prefer. This means that your goblins are likely to split off from the pack and attract the attention of other defenses.
Thus, goblins are bad for war because they're not aligned with the goals of war raids, they're weak, and they're prone to running off by themselves and getting splatted to death by mortars.
