Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has publicly come out and said that his side’s game against Tottenham should be replayed due to the controversial VAR blunder that saw Luis Diaz have a goal wrongly disallowed for offside.
The Reds scored a perfectly good goal through Diaz, but the Colombia international was wrongly given offside due to a human error involving those in charge of assessing these incidents with video technology.
The audio ended up being released by the Premier League to show exactly what went wrong with the VAR officials, and now Klopp has made it clear he thinks it would only be fair for this match to be replayed.
See below for the German tactician’s comments…

It seems Klopp is not particularly optimistic this will actually happen, but it’s quite a moment for a Premier League manager to so openly admit that’s what he wants.
It would set an extraordinary precedent if this game were to be played again, with many other clubs likely to have grievances about refereeing decisions over the years without having previously had this opportunity.
Remember the goal Mendes scored at Old Trafford for Spurs, TV showed the ball bounced out of the goal after crossing the goal line…the linesman was not fast enough to run back from the half way line. 3 points lost.Why should Liverpool be treated differently ?
As a LFC supporter, i agree with you.
We should just play the season out and if we lose out by 1 or 2 points to City the the PGMOL should make up the financial loss, i bet they wont make mistakes again!
How do you calculate the financial loss?
It’s not a question of treating LFC differently. It’s a question of fighting too many wrongs in a single game. Turning a blind eye to this would mean this match was FIXED!
I remember that goal the ball was way over the line ,worst piece of refereeing i ever seen.but nothing was done about it ,the officials got away with it….hands up to liverpool for standing up for their rights ,dont knock them ,support them this corrupt refereeing has to stop for every team not just liverpool..
Because of VAR. Had VAR existed at the time then Tottenham’s “goal” should have been given.
Not differently, just pioneer. You cannot take a time back but we can do it as a standard from this point.
There’s a big difference, every team (including Liverpool) has had to accept poor refereeing decisions from
time to time.
This situation is unprecedented where the officials knew at the time they had done something wrong yet failed to address it. This is corruption, nothing less.
The officials didn’t know at the time – the game was re-started before the penny dropped. Crass officiating – but what is it with supporters of Liverpool & a few other clubs that they think that when things don’t go their way it’s “corruption”??? Stupid conspiracy theories
If this game is replayed it will
Open a massive can of worms, this absolutely can’t happen Arsenal Chelsea and indeed Spurs will put there claim in for games to be replayed.
For once I agree with Gary Neville.
There is precedent for this.
1. The 1999 FA Cup fifth-round tie between Arsenal and Sheffield United, in which Kanu(Arsenal) played the role of pantomime villain. New to English football, and oblivious to the tradition of returning the ball to the opposition when it has been kicked out of play to allow treatment for injury, Kanu collected the resulting throw-in and crossed for Marc Overmars to score the winner. But after an almighty hullabaloo from an aggrieved United side, Arsene Wenger suggested that the match should be replayed. The FA agreed, and Arsenal won 2-1.
2. In 1985, Leicester City trounced Burton Albion 6-1 but the FA ordered the match to be replayed behind closed doors due to a bout of coin-throwing from the terraces. Leicester won the replay, which was played at Coventry’s Highfield Road, 1-0.
Typical of Klopp, who thinks he has a god-given right to have every decision go in his favour. This was a human mistake, but I guess Klopp has never made a mistake, has he? There’s also no reason to suggest that Liverpool would win if it were replayed. Meanwhile Postocoglou will have moved on to the next match against Luton, rather than continue to make an idiot of himself, like Klopp. He’s also never mentioned the VAR decisions that have gone in his favour.
If they dont allow a replay then LFC should be given the points for their goal they scored especially as it has been said that the var and refs made a mistake.To criticise Klopp is downright rude being as he is the best manager there is and is not an idiot like you say.
So your saying that every game that has had a wrong decision affect the score should either be replayed or the score amended a completely impractical suggestion or maybe you think it should only be when it’s Liverpool involved.
No, not for the previous but for the future wrong decision. Why did not complain hard before as what LFC is doing now?
Rubbish klopp thinks he is the best thing since sliced bread not a patch on clough Ferguson Ramsey Nicholson and many more why should everyone feel sorry for Liverpool
Sorry but Klopps mistake has nothing to do with this. The Premier League has been disgraced by shabolic refereeing …..
Sorry i think you are the idiot for coming out with such a stupid comment
Totenham is pretty quiet as they know they won a game by the grace of the referee… of course they moved on!
Calling Klopp an idiot is a bit of a stretch, sir! I don’t remember seeing your name in the hall of fame of football, therefor i think you have no right to call anyone an idiot!
A bit of decency, please!
champion league against spurs was fixed them penalty give which never was so why not replay that won
Actually he has .
Remember the mendes goal at old Trafford which didn’t stand even thought it was miles over the line and let’s not forget the champions league final when Liverpool were awarded a joke of a penalty which never should have been given, hotting sissoko’s armpit which again after was explained it should never have been given, replay this one and we’ll replay the champions league final from 2019, seems fair! And let’s not forget also Jotas awful tackle on Skipp last year with a foot in his head! Liverpool always play the victim and seem to forget the decisions that benefit them at the expense of others! Just shut up and get on with it!
100% agree
And Harry’s on Robbo?
As romero said to macalister, cry at home klopp or agree to replay the CL final where we were robbed by a wrong VAR decision.
Fair for who? It certainly won’t be for Spurs… if Klopp gets his way and Liverpool were to win would we be able put in a counter-demand to get the game replayed again as we would have lost 3 well deserved points
A 3 well desered 3pts you couldn’t break down 9 men and it took an OG wake up
How were they well deserved?
well deserved my ass
There’s too much at stake in the premier league to let these incidents go without action being taken.
A replay would be fair.
Change has to start somewhere!
Tribal rivalries should be put to one side as all clubs would benefit going forward if positive changes are made because of what happened against Spurs !
I would rather have the point that we should have got than a replay as when we beat spurs ,in the replay there would be a massive argument because people can’t see further than the end of their own noses !
Stick together and force change for the better or stay divided and have more of the same !?
Remember that when the next cockspur happens it could be your team that suffers !
I’m not a supporter of either club but I see this as a great chance for the FA to redeem themselves after lots of controversy over several incidents. They say that they brought in VAR to make the game fairer to all teams and this is the first time that they have a chance to show that they are an organisation who want fairness to win out. Their decision on this will show everyone what they really want the future of this game to be.
Nearly every team in the entire football league,has had unfair decisions made against them ..
The most Liverpool would have got from that game would have been a point ..
Grow up and stop crying over spilt milk .
We’ve been robbed before and it will happen again but I can’t see how this game can be replayed look at the many mistakes that have been made with var every club in the league have had their proplems we just have to take it on the chin and move on YNWA
As a LFC supporter, i agree with you.
We should just play the season out and if we lose out by 1 or 2 points to City the the PGMOL should make up the financial loss, i bet they wont make mistakes again!
Let’s drop it. We lost and we have to deal with that. Not sure if the 3 points will make a difference come the end of the season. If so then we can moan about it. As a club we have overcome worse things in the past. We will bounce back.
Rubbish
What makes you think that Liverpool would win a replay
The easiest solution is to give us the point.
Ridiculous request. If allowed, can we replay the World Cup game against Argentina and maradona’s hand of god goal!!
How were they well deserved?
Replaying the match will not only benefit Liverpool but all of the Premier league teams when such mistakes or error happens in the future. There is no guarantee that Liverpool will win the match if it has to be replay. But the important point here is to use this as a reference to any future mistake made by the refs…so don’t hate or criticise klopp or Liverpool, support them. I think they make a good stand not only for themselves but for the all league against the refs.
If we replay the game it will open up every team to want to replay games where VAR has made wrong decisions which would mean our season would never end! It would be a season of continuous replays!
Time Liverpool just dealt with the loss and moved on like all other teams have too not sure why they think they are so special after all the do benefit more often then most teams from VAR decisions
Sorry, but this is a ridiculous comment:
Firstly the point of VAR is to get things right. The fact that Liverpool have had more decisions corrected by VAR only serves to confirm that on field we get the most incorrect decisions. It’s not a ‘benefit’.
Secondly, we all accept that errors are made, every team has to put up with these. The difference is here that VAR knew they had made an error at the time but refused to correct it. That’s unprecedented and needs to be addressed. What’s the point of VAR otherwise?
