Rio Ferdinand wants to see the PGMOL make two significant changes following the controversy surrounding VAR in Liverpool\u2019s defeat at Tottenham.<\/p>\n

Liverpool lost 2-1 in north London last Saturday, but the game was marred by a huge blunder from the Video Assistant Referees when they failed to award Luis Diaz a goal when the score was 0-0.<\/p>\n

The linesman incorrectly called Diaz as offside but VAR failed to overturn the decision, a mistake PGMOL later owned up to.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday evening, the referees\u2019 governing body released the audio\u00a0from the incident and it has transpired that while they had spotted the onside, it was a communication error that lead to Simon Hooper restarting the game instead of giving the goal.<\/p>\n

The audio makes for compelling listening and there have long been calls for referees\u2019 conversations to be made heard live during the games.<\/p>\n

The Manchester United legend certainly thinks that should be the case, saying on TNT Sports: \u2018Well this is high level stuff, this is the\u00a0Premier League. Beamed around the world. Huge investment in our game.<\/p>\n

\u2018In this type of situation, I\u2019m looking at who is taking ownership of that situation. Who is the boss who is leading that there? It looks like they\u2019re all in there and no one knows who is taking ownership and that is the problem.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018I would love to hear this conversation, this dialogue all the time. I would love this standard of communication to be open all the time so we can hear it. So there\u2019s transparency and clarity.<\/p>\n

\u2018At the moment people think what\u2019s going on here is there someone working behind the scenes here, so if you get that transparency you take away a lot of that element.<\/p>\n

\u2018I just think you need someone to get hold of it, and go \u2013 you know what there I am. There\u2019s no bass in that room, zero bass.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ferdinand also called for the introduction of \u2018automated offsides\u2019 which have been used to good effect in the Champions League and major international tournaments for the last year.<\/p>\n

The Premier League supposedly rejected bringing it in over the summer, a mistake the former England defender wants rectified.<\/p>\n

He added: \u2018In the World Cup, technology took over in this type of situation. It wasn\u2019t left to human eye or human error.<\/p>\n

\u2018Then there was a vote from the Premier League to say the technology isn\u2019t ready yet, we don\u2019t want it. If they had let this come in we wouldn\u2019t be having this conversation.\u2019<\/p>\n
