Klopp would scrap VAR ‘because officials can't use it properly’
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, April 21, 2024

LIVERPOOL manager Jurgen Klopp admits he would vote for scrapping VAR because the officials in charge of it “are not able to use it properly.”

Wolves submitted a resolution on Wednesday calling for a vote by Premier League clubs to scrap the system at the league’s annual general meeting.

While the PA news agency understands Liverpool’s hierarchy are not supportive of scrapping it, Klopp — who leaves the club this summer after eight-and-a-half years — believes if it is not applied correctly then it is not worth keeping.
