Jurgen Klopp stired the fire ahead of Manchester United’s journey to Anfield next weekend by comparing charge records after Liverpool were rejected 2 spot-kicks in Monday’s defeat at Southampton.
Danny Ings’ spectacular second-minute strike versus his previous club ended Liverpool’s 12-game unbeaten run in the Premier League as the champs’ winless run extended to 3 video games.
Klopp was aggrieved his side were not granted either of their 2 second-half charge appeals, with a Kyle Walker-Peters obstacle on Sadio Hair and Jack Stephens’ handball while obstructing a Georginio Wijnaldum shot going unpunished by referee Andre Marriner.
Liverpool stay leading ahead of Manchester United on objective distinction in spite of suffering a 2nd league defeat of the season, however the champs might be changed as straight-out Premier League leaders by the time they invite their competitors to Anfield on January 17 – survive on Sky Sports – if United prevent defeat in their video game in hand versus Burnley.
And it would appear the mind video games have actually currently started ahead of the savory top-of-the-table clash, with Klopp questioning officiating over current seasons, stating United “had more charges in 2 years than I had in five-and-a-half years”.
” If anyone ever once again will state Sadio Hair is a ‘scuba diver’, it’s the greatest joke on the planet,” Klopp informed Sky Sports. “This kid attempts to remain on his feet with all he has. In 2 circumstances … other groups will get a charge for it, let me state it like this. Then the handball, I do not understand who will discuss that to me.”
Speaking in his post-match interview, Klopp included: “We had an actually great view of it [the Mane incident], and it appeared like a clear charge. I reversed to the 4th authorities and asked if it was going to be inspected, he stated it currently had actually been and was not a charge. That’s 100 percent real, and now somebody wishes to inform me how fast they had it in all these various angles.
” In 2015, there was a charge versus Leicester when individuals stated Sadio Hair decreases too quickly – if he decreases quickly, we would have had a charge in this video game and the last video game, a stonewall charge, however what Andre Marriner finished with Sadio Hair I’m unsure if that’s fine.
” The kid attempted whatever, had a couple of fantastic difficulties with Walker-Peters, however there were a great deal of circumstances which ought to have been free-kicks. The last one, when he decreases, you see that back and in package he strikes him in the end with his left foot, that’s a charge.
” We can not alter. I hear now that Manchester United had more charges in 2 years than I had in five-and-a-half years. I have actually no concept if that’s my fault, or how that can occur.
” However it’s no reason for the efficiency. We can not alter it, we need to appreciate the choices. However we can alter our efficiency. That’s our focus now.”
Carra: Hair started contact with Walker-Peters
Jamie Carragher argued Sadio Hair started the contact with Kyle Walker-Peters
Previous Liverpool protector Jamie Carragher disagreed with his old club’s supervisor and stated Hair had actually reached Walker-Peters when the 2 came together, instead of the other method round.
Carragher stated: “I believe Hair kicks the back of Walker-Peters’ calf. So that’s where it might be a charge, that side, however it’s not. Hair strikes the back of him.
” When you simply see the other angle, he lets him enter package, when you see the best foot encountered from Walker-Peters, he makes a lunge for the ball with it. Typically when you see that, it’s somebody discovering to win the ball, they do not get it and they take the foot, or the opponent reviews it, the lazy leg, I have actually constantly called it.
Carragher thinks Walker-Peters took out of the obstacle in the nick of time to prevent providing a charge away
” I have actually constantly stated that’s not diving, if somebody puts a ridiculous obstacle, and you discuss that foot if it exists. If that foot comes even more throughout, perhaps into this location, and Hair strikes it, that’s a charge. However when he in fact makes that obstacle, you see his best foot is planted on the flooring.
” He does not go far enough to make the obstacle, he half takes out of the obstacle, and as we saw on the earlier one, it’s a case of Hair half kicking his calf so I do not believe it was a charge.”
