Guardiola under fire over comment on VAR after Man City’s draw with Tottenham

Former Crystal Palace chairman, Simon Jordan has criticised Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, over the comment made about the Video Assistant Referee, VAR, after Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League last weekend.

Gabriel Jesus scored in stoppage time for Guardiola’s men only for VAR to rule it out for a handball.

It was a repeat of fate for Man City after the new technology prevented them from knocking the same opponents out of last season’s UEFA Champions League.

However, two goals from Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero gave the Premier League champions a point against Spurs at Etihad.

Guardiola had described the use of VAR during his side’s Premier League draw against Tottenham as ‘tough’.

Guardiola said: “I thought we left that situation in Tottenham in the Champions League last season. But it is the same. The referee and VAR disallow it. It’s the second time [it’s happened] – it’s tough. It’s honestly tough but it’s the way it is.”

But Jordan now wondered why Guardiola is leading the way of ‘hypocritical’ Premier League managers, adding that the City boss only complains about VAR when decisions go against him.

Writing in his column for The Sun, Jordan said: “I watched Pep Guardiola wax lyrical that an accidental handball had denied his all-conquering Manchester City side yet another win, and how VAR had robbed him of the three points against Tottenham.

“But surely this couldn’t have been the Pep I vividly remember just a few months ago demanding the need for technology to be brought in after his team crashed out of the Champions League.

“The one who was left fuming that Fernando Llorente’s goal which decided the all-English European tie was scored with a handball — and insisting that VAR simply has to be used to rule on such crucial matters.

“Now we have replays being used, and it doesn’t suit him, he’s got a problem with it.

“That smacks of hypocrisy. If you look at football, it’s full of hypocrisies.”

    all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours
    would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% sure.

  6. Fine way of explaining, and nice piece of writing to
    take information on the topic of my presentation subject, which i am going
    to convey in university.

  7. I am not sure where you’re getting your information, but great topic.

    my mission.

  8. Thank you, I have just been searching for information about this topic for ages and yours is the greatest I’ve discovered till now. But, what about the conclusion? Are you sure about the source?

    The wisе рerson fеels thе pain of оne arrоw. Thе unwisе feеls thе pаin of twо.
    Whеn looking for wise words, the bеst onеs oftеn cоme from our еldеrs.
    You’vе heard thаt it’s wise to lеarn frоm expеriencе, but it is wisеr to lеаrn frоm thе exреriеncе of others.
    We tеnd tо think of grеаt thinkers аnd innоvators аs sоlоists, but thе truth is thаt thе grеаtest innovative thinking doеsn’t оccur in а vacuum. Innоvаtion results from collаbоration.
    Somе of us think holding оn makеs us strоng, but somеtimes it is letting gо.
    But what I’vе discovеrеd ovеr time is that sоme of the wisest рeople I know havе аlso been sоme оf the most brоken pеoрle.
    Don’t wаste yоur time with exрlanations, peoplе only hеаr whаt theу wаnt tо hеar.
    Tо makе difficult dеcisiоns wisely, it hеlрs tо hаve a systematic procеss for аssessing eаch chоice and its cоnsеquеncеs – the рotеntiаl imраct оn eаch аspect of yоur lifе.
    Each of us еxреriences defeats in life. Wе cаn transfоrm dеfeat into victоrу if wе lеarn frоm lifе’s whupрings.
