Guardiola wants City players to raise their game rather than trust ‘flip of a coin’ officials

Pep Guardiola has expressed frustration with refereeing standards, describing officiating decisions as a 'flip of a coin,' while urging his Manchester City players to raise their performance levels to compensate. His comments come amid renewed scrutiny of VAR following Callum Wilson's late goal being disallowed in West Ham's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, after referee Chris Kavanagh overturned his original decision at the pitchside monitor on advice from VAR official Darren England. Guardiola also faces injury concerns, with Khusanov and Rodri both doubtful for an upcoming crucial match against Crystal Palace.
