Sean Dyche has called for a major VAR change following Nottingham Forest's 2-2 draw against Manchester United on Saturday afternoon. The former Burnley and Everton manager earned his first Premier League point since taking over from Ange Postecoglou in October, after his side fought back from 1-0 down to briefly lead the Red Devils, before Amad Diallo rescued a point for the visitors. Having gone behind before half-time, many on the bank of the River Tyne may have feared the worst, as Forest have managed just one league win all season - a 3-1 home victory over Brentford on the opening weekend back in August. The opener, however, came under highly contentious circumstances when Nicolo Savona was adjudged not to have kept the ball in play before Casemiro scored from the resulting corner. See the incident below: Replays showed the ball was on the line, marking back-to-back weeks that Forest have been hard done by with tight decisions. The fact VAR could not intervene left Dyche’s side facing an unnecessary uphill battle from the start, prompting him to call for a change in how the technology is used. Sean Dyche Calls For Major VAR Change For Dyche, the current use of VAR, which did not intervene in this instance, needs fixing. "It's got to change," the Forest boss said, as per the Daily Mail. He continued (watch the full interview below): "You don't need three minutes to look at that, it's a very simple moment. Last week was an incredibly simple moment, a factually wrong decision. That must take five seconds, end of. Surely? There is a lot at stake in these games. So just get it right, we all want it right, every fan wants it right. "It's gone against us again, and we have just got to get on with it, simple as that. You know the worst thing as well? Back in the game for three games and two weeks on the trot, I'm talking about referees and decisions. That is really frustrating. I don't want to be talking about this, do I? I want to be talking about my team." A late Amad goal ensured a point apiece in a 2-2 draw, but it was the game's opening goal that frustrated Dyche most even long after the final whistle had gone."I just can't understand it," he added. "You're the assistant referee, you're 70-odd yards away, you've got a goal and a net in the way, but apparently you can see? I've got a better view, and I'm not in the right position! "So, that's got to be wrong in the current climate. The thing that annoys me the most - and I'm a big fan of VAR - is that someone has got to be able to overrule these decisions, just really quickly, it will be five seconds. Just go 'that's in play'. It's deemed out of play, [Manchester United] whack it in and score a goal. Two weeks on the trot."
