Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says VAR ‘flip the coin’

But Guardiola says it’s up to the players to take VAR out of the equation.

“When that happens we have to do better, not the referee or VAR,” he continued.

“Since I arrived a long time ago, I never believe in anything. Always I learned that you have to do it better, do it better, be in a position to do it better because you blame yourself for what you have to do, because (VAR) is a coin flip.”

Guardiola was speaking ahead of Wednesday’s meeting with Palace, which they must win to qualify ArsenalTop of the table with two points.

That will still go away Arsenal They need to drop points in their remaining two matches – against relegation Burnley And Palace – City have any chance of winning the Premier League title.

“Obviously in the Premier League we don’t have that. I always tell the players, ‘Do it, do it, do it well’,” Guardiola added.

“All we can do is make it better, it’s only in your control.”

Guardiola’s side will be playing in their third FA Cup final in three seasons when they meet Chelsea Saturday at Wembley.
