Liverpool contact the PL

About VAR and Pickford seeking explanation.
Very typical.
Expect a petition to get Pickford banned retrospectively next.
The injury was unfortunate but to write the PL is ridiculous especially given that they got Sane off for a whole season with similar injury last August.

Well, if we’re going to blame people for all the things that fans of their club have said then none of us will come out very well.

Fair dos.

I have to agree with Winston on this one. Henderson has made a comment that could reasonably be inferred as the officials deliberately moving the lines to ensure an offside. I wouldn't be shocked if he got a warning about it.

Understandable given his frustration but he needs to be careful about it.

David Coote has seriously blundered with VAR - and not for the first time.

Lo Celso got stamped on by Azpilicueta - same official
Leicester denied a pen when debruyne puts his arms in front of his face - same official
VVD axed by Pickford - same official

He’s paid to make the right decision with all the tech around him.

Needs binning that bloke.

I don't know why they can't just use the feet as the line. And at the same time if the call is marginal, like an inch here or there then just favour the attacker and forget all this millimeter crap.

Not even just millimetres though..could be upto 10cm here..

Definitely not offside. The software reacts to where the official puts the red (Liverpool) line in relation to the blue (Everton line)

There’s no way Mane is closer to the red line than the Everton players boot.

Utter shambles by that dipstick Coote in the VAR room, and not for the first game either, he’s made a balls up in two other games where he was said to have made a human error.

Fack off

Because everyone has a different idea of what a "minimal" transgression is and it will lead to unfairness. Team A scores a goal that is 5 inches offside but the linesman Missed it. VAR shows it offside but its close so they let it stand.

Team B then score an equaliser that is 4 inches offside and the linesman sees it and flags. VAR confirms the decision was correct.

Team A has won the game thanks to an incorrectly awarded offside that was worse than the goal disallowed for Team B. Extremely unfair.

I believe a socially distance protest outside Anfield is on the cards, and a petition to get Pickford banned for as long as VVD is out injured

Why would we want to try to help strengthen Everton?
