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 it. 

‘I don’t really know what’s coming next,’ said O’Neil. ‘It’s similar to offsides. Some of the lines drawn, I’m not sure how accurate they are and I have spoken to them about it.

‘The system needs improving and I am sure they are working hard. This season, probably even more so than last, there seem to have been errors made. I hope the guys can improve the processes.

‘I hope they can fix it and get it to a place where everyone understands it and sees what’s coming next because I am a bit lost.

‘I look at the handball last night in the Aston Villa-Zrinjski Mostar game. The ball hit the player in the face and then hit his hand, and it was overturned at the screen. Whereas for us at Luton, it was given on the field and then upheld.’
