Steven Gerrard, who played under the previous manager, Rafa Benitez, to hold the losses record, has offered a bleak verdict in response to Salah’s Instagram post, which appears to be a dig at Slot.

A whopping 90% disagreed that the technology has improved the matchday experience, while 91% claim VAR has harmed the spontaneity of goal celebrations.

"The results show that most fans want VAR removed," Thomas Concannon, the FSA's Premier League network manager, told BBC Sport. "We've all lived with VAR for so long now that we've seen the negative impact...
