Gary O’Neil is braced for more VAR mistakes this weekend as the Wolves boss cast doubt on the way offsides are determined by the system.

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 it.

‘I don’t trust we will get the right conclusion this weekend all the time,’ said O’Neil, whose side face Aston Villa on Sunday. ‘There will still be mistakes, there will still be errors that we question, but I trust they are working hard to limit them.

‘I have spoken to referees about some of the lines I have seen drawn on offside decisions. I was OK at maths at school and I wouldn’t always put the line where they do! There are a few bits I think are off.’ 

England boss Gareth Southgate said this week that football was better in the pre-VAR era. Though O’Neil did not go quite that far, he is struggling to retain faith in the current approach.

Before O’Neil joined Wolves in the summer, the club were regularly on the wrong end of controversial VAR calls last term, when Julen Lopetegui was in charge.

Asked whether he backed Southgate’s stance, O’Neil said: ‘It’s getting close to there now. I’ve been a big advocate for VAR. I think it makes huge sense to give the guys help in something that moves as fast as the game does now.

‘I am more confused about it now than I have ever been. It either needs improving or – of course this the option I don’t think anyone will end up with – is that we scrap it and go back to where we were, but I would guess they will try to improve it.’
