VAR is ‘flip of coin’, says Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola
But Guardiola says it is up to the players to remove VAR from the equation.
“This is because we need to do better, not the referees or VAR,” he continued.
“I haven’t trusted anything since I came a long time ago. I’ve always learned that you have to do better, you have to do better, you have to be in a position to do better, because you blame yourself for what you should have done, because (VAR) is a coin toss.”
Guardiola was speaking ahead of Wednesday’s meeting with Palace, who they need to win to reduce Arsenal’s lead at the top of the table to two points.
Arsenal will then need to drop points in their remaining two games against relegated Burnley and Palace for City to have any chance of winning the Premier League title.
Guardiola said: “Of course in the Premier League this is out of our hands. I always say to the players: ‘Do, do, do better’.”
“All we can do is do better, that’s only under your control.”
Guardiola’s side will advance to their third FA Cup final in three seasons when they face Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.
