It is almost impossible to analyse the game because it just seemed to get out of control for large parts of it,\u2019 said the Australian.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/07\/00\/77481465-12717943-image-a-54_1699315990557.jpg\" height=\"436\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ange Postecoglou cut a pensive figure after his side were beaten 4-1 by London rivals Chelsea<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/07\/00\/77481461-12717943-image-a-56_1699316010458.jpg\" height=\"438\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>VAR played a big role during what was a fiery match that saw five goals disallowed for VAR<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/07\/00\/77474801-12717943-image-a-59_1699316196122.jpg\" height=\"357\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Cristian Romero was sent off in the first half, with VAR revieweing this tackle on Enzo Fernandez<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The red card (for Romero) 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There will be a forensic study of every decision out there, I think that is the way the game is going and I don&#8217;t like it. If you look at all that standing around we did today, maybe people enjoy that sort of thing but I&#8217;d rather see us playing football.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You have to accept the referee&#8217;s decision, that is how I grew up. This constant erosion of the referee&#8217;s authority is where the game is going to get &#8211; they are not going to have any authority.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We are going to be under the control of someone with a TV screen a few miles away.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The 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.<\/p>\n<p>James Maddison was substituted in the first half and Postecoglou added: \u2018He got a knock on the ankle, we were down one man already. It made sense to make a couple of changes at that point.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Premier League managers should just manage. I was taught to respect the officials. But managers &#8211; me included &#8211; try to find a way to bend the rules.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>On his winning return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Pochettino said: \u2018I think we deserve to win, we forced them to make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Our performance was good, they are top of the table. Everything you can see in the game was fair.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is amazing for him [Jackson] and really important to build confidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think 4-1 in the end we deserved the victory and the three points and it is really important because we have a really important game next with Manchester City.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/07\/00\/77481459-12717943-Destiny_Udogie_was_sent_off_in_the_second_half_after_receiving_a-a-60_1699316202266.jpg\" height=\"509\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Destiny Udogie was sent off in the second half after receiving a second yellow card for a rash tackle on Raheem Sterling<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/07\/00\/77475365-12717943-image-a-58_1699316026191.jpg\" height=\"405\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Michael Oliver and VAR John Brooks had to make several big calls during the heated clash<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is clear from the beginning we didn&#8217;t have the whole squad.

We won and deserved it. The technology is there and we need to accept. Many things happen on the pitch and you need to verify and check.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jackson himself said: \u2018I am very happy and it has been a difficult time for everybody in the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We are coming back really slowly and happy to have scored three goals.
