I still feel overall that the "Assistant" bit of VAR isn't accurate at all. Other than clear-cut (ish! will be better next year!) issues like offside I don't think they should ever be TELLING the referee to do something - they should be ASKING him if he needs their assistance.
Advising him that they think it's worth him looking at the screen (with a reason), bu even then it should still be up to the ref at that point - if he thinks he's seen it clearly enough and is happy with the call then just leave him be.
