Liverpool legend Carragher performs VAR u-turn: Dump it

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says VAR needs to be scrapped in the Premier League after another weekend of controversies with the technology.

Carragher made the demand after Everton's draw with Tottenham at Goodison Park.

He said, "We have the best game in the world but how can be make it better and change with the times? That's why I was supporting it. Can we make football better and never stand still while other sports are doing it.

"I'm now looking at it and thinking I can't argue for it anymore.

"I am actually tired about listening to people complain about it and I have nothing to come back to them with.

"The whole point of VAR is to help referees and we speak so often in the job I have speaking about referees and decisions.

"We're now spending double or triple that amount of time talking about decisions so it hasn't done what it was brought in to do."
