Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola criticises the Premier League’s use of VAR, saying decisions feel unpredictable and comparable to “a flip of a coin”. Multiple reports say Guardiola’s comments reflect dissatisfaction with how consistently refereeing outcomes are delivered through the video review system. He argues that teams cannot fully rely on VAR to produce stable, repeatable decisions. Instead, Guardiola says the onus remains on players to perform well enough that the result is not determined by VAR calls. The reports describe his comparison as a way to express low confidence in the system’s reliability, despite the league’s intention for technology to reduce errors. The comments are framed as a general critique of the VAR process rather than a reference to a single match incident. Overall, the outlets agree that Guardiola presents VAR as an unpredictable factor in match outcomes and calls for teams to account for that uncertainty by focusing on their own performance.
