Liverpool supervisor Jurgen Klopp mentioned Brentford had been “stretching the rules” with their pushing and holding of their Premier League loss
Liverpool supervisor Juergen Klopp mentioned there isn’t a level elevating complaints with Premier League referees as it’s like chatting with a microwave, with the German left fuming by the officiating of their 3-1 defeat at Brentford on Monday.
Klopp mentioned Brentford had been “stretching the foundations” with their pushing and holding, especially at set-pieces, and thought Bryan Mbeumo’s third goal should have been ruled out for a foul.
When asked whether he had spoken to the match officials about the issue, Klopp told beIN Sports: “Yeah, but actually that’s exactly the same as I would talk to my microwave, you get no response, really. It’s always the same.
“Before the season they gave us advice that the players have to be careful in these moments because the refs will have an eye on it. You see in these games pretty much everything is allowed, it’s always on the edge and they are using it.”
Virgil van Dijk was considered one of three Liverpool gamers to return off at halftime however Klopp confirmed the defender was substituted resulting from a niggle, whereas the opposite two – Harvey Elliott and Konstantinos Tsimikas – had been for tactical causes.
“Virgil felt somewhat bit the muscle and mentioned it’s wonderful, and he’s an excellent choose of those sort of issues. But I didn’t need to take any dangers,” Klopp said.
“The physios looked quite happy when I said we don’t take risks. It’s not an injury, he just felt the intensity.”
Liverpool stay sixth within the league, 4 factors behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who’ve performed a sport much less.
