There is a precedent, but it was offered by the opposition rather than mandated: when Arsene offered t'Blades a Mulligan after (if memory serves) Kanu didn't give them the ball back when it was put out after a Blade injury and (again, IIRC) Overmars scored from the resulting play.
I haven't listened to what he said but the complaints seem to be about the offside. There is no way that goal shouldn't be given where VAR is present, and the audio makes it clear how farcical it was. Saying 'well it wouldn't have been a goal without VAR' is irrelevant firstly because VAR is there and secondly because without VAR the match is different anyway as they have eleven men.
Yeah that's the only time I can remember it happening as well tbh.
Yeah this is the thing. Klopp obviously has a vested interest here. But he's not wrong to suggest that things like this (i.e., officials deliberately upholding decisions they know to be horribly incorrect) cast aspersions over the integrity of the sport.
Totally agree - I just wish he'd accept it like others do. Have a proper moan at the time, that's fair enough, but asking for a replay 4 days later is pathetic.
I remember bragging about Leeds bagging Sinisterra (with roughly twice as many Eredivisie goal involvements) for a third of the price. He has lost a lot of time out injured since then but still.
Enrique is a fraud for that formation he is using today
The owners put in place a purposeful strategy after Alex to sign “names” to sell shirts and other marketing reasons. Multiple managers did not get the players they wanted and got more established “value proven” players. Or cheaper options. It was an attempt to have Galaticos strategy on the cheap. I’d call it a complete fail but they made a ton of money even if the club won nothing.
Not forgetting how he'll also manage to get sent off within moments of coming onto the pitch, and then embarrass himself afterwards by passionately defending a teammate biting someone.
