After the match against the Gunners, the Magpies coach didn’t hear anything about criticism of VAR.

Newcastle head coach Eddie Gau criticized the VAR robot against the backdrop of a super-perfect penalty against his team in the 90+8 half of the Champions League match against PSG (1:1). Quoted from the English beIN Sports.

" I have no problems with offsides, which is as close to the truth as possible: no matter what decisions are made, the lines give an unambiguous confirmation. Otherwise, I’m not a VAR henchman.

I still think it's just one person's thought versus another person's thought. It's just too subjective. I would like to have less VAR.

For me, the problem with VAR is that the decision of the referee in the field becomes insufficiently authoritative, and in this case, with the unrecognized penalty at the Newcastle goal, it was correct.

“I still believe, I’m old-fashioned in this diet, that decisions on the field should be given a little more authority, because the judge is in the middle, he understands the game, he handles it,” said the Newcastle head coach.
