The fallout of Liverpool’s clash with Tottenham on Saturday continues to rumble on and Wednesday saw Jurgen Klopp ask for the match to be replayed following the release of the VAR audio that showed a massive error was made in not allowing Luis Diaz’s goal to stand.
The audio showed that not only a crucial error was made but the officials recognised it straight away and were unable to use common sense to change the outcome.
Speaking about the incident today at his press conference, Klopp believes the match should be replayed but is aware that it is unlikely to happen.
“Something like this never happened, so that is why I think a replay is the right thing to do,” the Liverpool boss said via the BBC.
According to the BBC, the Premier League will not replay Tottenham vs Liverpool and it is unclear whether there has been a formal request to do so by the Merseyside club.
When asked whether the club had asked – or would ask – the Premier League for a replay, Klopp said: “At this stage, we are still going through the information we have.”
This will likely continue over the coming days as one of the biggest mistakes in the history of VAR needs to end with a positive outcome.
Would klopp agree to a replay of the CL final where they were awarded a penalty when the ball clearly hit Sissoko armpit.
Any replay would have to be played with exactly the same players on the pitch (substitutes coming on at exactly the same time) and Jones sent off after 26mins and jota sent off after 67mins. Its a joke for them to even request a replay, especially when it has been shown that of the top 6 teams they have benefited most from VAR decisions.
You would be calling for at least a replay if it was the team you supported.
They were also incorrect regions so no the match starts at the beginning. If it were your team and not Liverpool you would support this. It’s for any team that has wrong decisions made going forward also . Ynwa whatever happens
Replay is the only fair and acceptable way of dealing with it .
The other team didn’t win it fairly . I thought it was sport and fairness was most important . Otherwise call it politics .
Plz get it done on the replay match & put a full stop to the political football. Lets we welcome fair play decision on upcoming matches. Don’t let other league to overide or underestimate on our EPL league.
