Liverpool midfielder James Milner believes the atmosphere at Premier League games is being "ruined" by VAR and has called for a review of its use.
There were yet more high-profile incidents involving the technology this weekend, with Arsenal and Everton both on the receiving end of highly contentious calls.
Milner is the latest player to question VAR in its current guise, claiming it leaves supporters unsure whether to celebrate a goal due to a fear it will be ruled out.
"I'm not a fan at all," he told The Guardian. "It might just be the old school part of me, but I think there's still too much debate around VAR.
"Goal-line technology is incredible - it's instant decision. Black and white. But it's very hard to use VAR when you've still got opinions on the decisions and the atmosphere is being ruined.
"You score, there's an explosion of noise and then it's over to VAR. You wait. Is it a goal?"
Milner benefited from a late VAR intervention to convert a stoppage-time penalty in Liverpool's 2-1 win against Leicester City on October 5.
The 33-year-old has sympathy for match officials but worries the system is having a negative impact on the sport.
"I had the experience of a penalty the other week," he said. "That was a new experience as they're debating if it's going to be a penalty.
"I think there's use for it - if we can improve it. But football is a game of human error on the field and in officiating as well.
"They have a very tough job and I'm all for making their lives easier, but not at the expense of the flow of the game.
"If the VAR took away controversy I'd back it 100 per cent. But we're still having discussions about VAR. I don't think many footballers feel differently."
