Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was left frustrated after their 4-1 home defeat to Chelsea.
The Blues won 4-1 on Monday night, with Spurs having two players sent off and VAR denying five goals on the night.
Postecoglou said: "It is pretty hard to process. It is almost impossible to analyse the game because it just seemed to get out of control for large parts of it. Disappointed by the result but really proud of the players, they gave everything and that is the positive we will take.
"We were very close to getting an equaliser a couple of times and it shows their spirit. It was just a bridge too far today.
"I thought we started really well, scored a great goal and inches away from another. The red card affected the game, I felt like I was standing around waiting for things to happen, with VAR intervention. It felt like a lot of standing around."
On the VAR decisions, he continued: "There will be a forensic study of every decision out there, I think that is the way the game is going and I don't like it. If you look at all that standing around we did today, maybe people enjoy that sort of thing but I'd rather see us playing football."
On the Tottenham Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie dismissals, he said: "You have to accept the referee's decision, that is how I grew up. This constant erosion of the referee's authority is where the game is going to get - they are not going to have any authority. We are going to be under the control of someone with a tv screen a few miles away.
"The decision is the decision. In 26 years I have had plenty of bad decisions, I have had plenty fall in my favour. It is what it is."
On playing with a high line down to nine men, Postecoglou insisted: "It is just who we are mate, it is who we are and who we will be for as long as I am here. If we go down to five men we will have a go."
