PAUL HECKINGBOTTOM has called for referees to only use VAR for offside decisions.<\/p>\n
The Sheffield United boss was left fuming after his side's late defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Heckingbottom thought his side had done enough to rescue a point after Jayden Bogle's equaliser at Bramall Lane.<\/p>\n
However, Rodri went on to grab an 88th minute winner for the Treble winners and maintain their 100 per cent Premier League record.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the match, Blades defender John Egan had been penalised for a handball inside the area.<\/p>\n
Although Erling Haaland missed the resulting penalty, Heckingbottom was aggrieved by the decision after the match.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said: "I wasn\u2019t happy with the refereeing.<\/p>\n
"That our first free-kick was in the 56th minute is embarrassing. I\u2019ve watched some of the decisions back and it\u2019s really poor.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
"My initial thought (on the penalty) was that it\u2019s hit the arm, but is there any point of having VAR if the same decisions are not being given every week? I don\u2019t know where we\u2019re going with it all.<\/p>\n
"I get that they want as little impact as possible from VAR\u2026 so get rid of it and just use it for offside. We need a degree of consistency, especially big decisions that affect games.<\/p>\n

We need to know what the laws of the game are. We\u2019ve had three games and had decisions that aren\u2019t consistent."<\/p>\n Sheffield United remain winless after the loss to City, having been beaten in each of their three matches so far this season.<\/p>\n They host Everton, who are also yet to win a point, on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n As for City, they are the only club in the Premier League with a 100 per cent record.<\/p>\n Pep Guardiola's side will look to maintain that record at home to Fulham this weekend.<\/p>\nCity target Nunes goes on STRIKE, Salah 'WANTS Saudi move', Spurs eye Johnson<\/h3>\n<\/section>\n
