Wolves captain Conor Coady says managers and players confused by VAR

Wolves' Conor Coady feels players and managers are baffled by how VAR is being implemented. 

His side saw a Willy Boly goal disallowed by video review in their nil-nil draw against Leicester City last night. It was adjudged that Pedro Neto's ankle had been offside in the build-up to the goal.

"I don't think the referees know what's going on and we don't know what's going on," the Wolves captain told BT Sport.

"We should have won the game, it's as simple as that, but we don't understand the decision, I don't think many people understand the decision, but it's been made and that's twice against Leicester now this season.

"We felt it was cruel at their place as well. I don't want to speak about VAR too much. I've spoken about it before and it doesn't really get you anywhere.

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo was also disappointed to be on the wrong end of a marginal decision.

"There used to be an expression here in England about 'clear daylight.' in these decisions.

"The law is the law, but is there a clear advantage? I'm still positive, I'm upset of course because Molineux was buzzing and suddenly was down.

"Something has to be done. When you have something and someone takes it away, you don't like it but the law is the law.

"I'm not a specialist on refereeing, we are not judging the work of the referees here. I'm frustrated with the situation and all that is involved. We should not be sitting here talking about this."
