Gary O’Neil admits he has been left confused by VAR in a season where Wolves have been left aggrieved by at least two controversial decisions that went against them.
Video technology has been under the microscope since last Saturday, when Liverpool forward Luis Diaz wrongly had a goal ruled out for offside in a defeat at Tottenham, leading Reds boss Jurgen Klopp to call for the game to be replayed.
On the opening day of the campaign, Wolves should have had a clear penalty at Manchester United when goalkeeper Andre Onana pole-axed Sasa Kalajdzic in attempting to punch clear – only for both the on-field officials and VAR to dismiss
Then, at Luton last month, Joao Gomes appeared to have made an unintentional handball, earning the home team a penalty.
“I’m not sure what’s going to happen next,” O’Neil remarked. It’s comparable to offsides. I’ve talked to them about it, but I’m not sure how true some of the lines are.
They are undoubtedly putting a lot of effort into upgrading the system. There appear to have been mistakes committed this season—possibly even more than previous. I’m hoping the guys can make the procedures better.
I’m a little confused, so I’m hoping they can figure it out and get it to a point where everyone can see what’s going on.
“I watch the handball from last night’s Aston Villa vs. Zrinjski Mostar match.” After striking the player’s hand and then his face, the ball flipped over at the screen. In contrast, it was awarded to us at Luton on the pitch and then maintained.
