Yesterday night’s thrilling draw against Valencia away at the Mestalla produced another moment where VAR took center stage. The season is still roughly four months young, but Chelsea and VAR have quite the strained relationship already.
After the game, Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard share his thoughts on VAR.
“I don’t think the delay is the problem. The problem in the Premier League has been whether the decision was right or wrong even after the delay and that’s where I think we’re not getting it right.
"We’ve had a few this season in our games and that’s where VAR needs to improve. We want to keep that time down, but if you get the right decision I don’t think there are too many complaints.”
Asked about whether Abraham had left to go to the hospital, Lampard intimated that Abraham’s injury may not be too bad.
“I’m not sure if that’s true, but he’s in the dressing room now. The word at half time was it looked quite severe, a bang on the hip. Then the word after the game was it might not be as severe as we first thought. That’s as much details as I have.”
