Chelsea manager Frank Lampard wants to see some changes made to the way that VAR is utilized.

While Lampard is not dismissive of the technology, he does believe that improvements can be made.

He thinks that pitchside monitors would help officials as they are looking to make key decisions quickly and with minimal disruption.

"Yes, I think it is part of VAR [having touchline monitors]. I assumed when it came into the Premier League that would be the case," Lampard said at his press conference.

"I think we are at the point now where from my point of view I think they have to. It is difficult. I am not one to bang the drum.

"It is not easy and even with VAR there is a human element involved because they are the ones that are checking it and it is slightly opinionated.

"I think at the weekend we saw it flip slightly from the other way from what it had been already with some decisions being changed. Hopefully we find the right middle ground as soon as possible.

"I think seeing the monitor on the side of the pitch is the way forward."
