I don\u2019t think technology is ready for our game. I\u2019ve got absolutely zero against goal-line technology, that\u2019s a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018With VAR, we think it\u2019s going to eliminate errors and the more we use it, the worse it\u2019s going to get.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What I always loved about England was the frenetic pace of football. Why are we trying to take that out? None of us like it when they are taking so long to make a decision and it sounded like last week they were rushing it.
