Ange Postecoglou makes honest Liverpool admission over 'biggest problem' with VAR

Ange Postecoglou has reiterated that he is not a fan of VAR despite his Tottenham Hotspur coming out on top against Liverpool because of a number of controversial officiating decisions.

A Joel Matip own goal in the 96th minute saw the Reds fall to a last-minute 2-1 defeat in the capital, having seen Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota sent off in each half. Meanwhile, Luis Diaz also had a goal incorrectly ruled out for offside when the scores were still 0-0, with the PGMOL confirming that it was a ‘significant human error’ after VAR did not overturn the on-field decision.

Speaking after the match, Postecoglou pointed out that human error has always been part of football and shared his belief that technology was never going to be a flawless system despite its implementation to prevent wrong officiating decisions.

“I think I’m on record saying that I’ve never really been a fan of it (VAR) since it’s come in,” the Australian told reporters after the final whistle. “Not for any other reason, I just think it really complicates areas of the game that I feel were pretty clear in the past.

“But I can see at the same time why it was inevitable that the technology would come in. I guess we have to deal with it. The biggest problem I think we have is that we seem to fail to grasp is that no form of technology is going to make the game error-less.

“We used to understand that errors were part of the game, including officiating errors. You have to cop it, some people cop it better than others but that was part of the game.

“The game is littered with historical refereeing decisions
