Dyche said: "I'm a big fan of VAR, or the concept, but I did say last year I know it will take time to iron it out.

"I think it was nearly approaching a minute and a half, 80 to 90 seconds, and me and my staff looked at it and decided in four seconds that it was offside. So I think that side of it can be delivered quicker.

"And if it's not, because we all know there are some really, really awkward ones, then I think the referee holds the ball, goes outside the box, clearly makes a statement to everyone that we know it's not a penalty or whatever. Because at that time we don't know that he's actually looking at the offside until afterwards.

"But I am a big fan of it. I think they will iron out the problems and speed up the process.

"It was actually factually right (the offside call). My frustration was more about the timings – how long it took. He is setting up to take the penalty. It brought a strangeness to the stadium and everyone was a bit confused.

"Hopefully it will speed up as they get more used to it. There's no blame on anyone, I think it's just a process that has to speed up."

While Dyche stressed he agreed with the offside decision reached – saying "I presume it was for Vydra, because (Sam) Vokes is not really active enough" – he also said: "I thought their keeper (Adam Davies) handled it outside the box, so that was an interesting one.

"That can be a big moment. So if you are going to use VAR, you can change maybe some of the reasons they are going to use it, because that could be a defining moment. In theory, he could get sent off."

Dyche added with regard to the second penalty, awarded following a foul by Liam Lindsay on Vydra: "That can definitely be decided quicker. That was an absolute stonewaller.

"There was still a bit of a delay, everyone was waiting around a bit and he (Cooper) is still pointing to his ear as if to say 'I need clearance.' Clearance should be quick on that one.

"The offside, I get it because it is really tight. But I think wherever you are watching that, you just go 'penalty', straight away."
