Departing Liverpool boss Klopp: I'd scrap VAR

Departing Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is supporting the vote to scrap VAR from the Premier League.

Clubs are due to vote on the technology for next season.

"I don't think they're [the club] voting against VAR, I think they'll vote about how it gets used, because that's definitely not right," Klopp said.

"In the way they do it, I would vote against it, because these people are not able to use it properly."

Asked if he would dump the system, the German said: "I do not think VAR is the problem, but the way we use it is the problem. So, you cannot change the people obviously, it's clear. You need them.

"So yes, I would vote for scrapping VAR."
