Amazing. Think it is time for not only him to be fired but mass firings from the field to VAR rooms to start taking place. Also doesn't explain the other 4-5 calls against Brighton.

If Alexander-Arnold is standing where Klopp wants him to, then you have to seriously start to question wtf Klopp is smoking. There's inverted full-backs and there's central midfield

Well that game was nuts, Arsenal somehow hanging on for a point, Liverpool channelling some Chelsea level finishing with the chances they had.

Lol the stats back the Chelsea level of game from Liverpool there haha.

Damn, Arsenal needed 3 points there. They have both city and Newcastle away as remaining games while city basically only has the arsenal game as a tough one on paper.

Liverpool at home is pretty solid tbh. 9-4-1, 36-11, ~fourth best in the league. But on away field they're 3-4-8, 14-24, which is actually worse than even Leicester.

Just a PL official elbowing a player, and said player getting carded as a result.

I hear what you're saying Stealth. The refereeing standard is poor. But who do you replace them with? Are the championship referees up to it? There is a shortage of referees at all levels as it is so who replaces them?

The Championship referees are significantly worse. I would not have been surprised if Botman's 'tackle' wasn't a penalty with a Championship referee. I think the FA and Premier League need to take a zero tolerance approach to harrassment/abuse of officials, then more people may want to be a referee which would increase the quality of the officiating.

Sometimes I think we have the officials we deserve.

you cant have a zero tolerance policy against harassment and then allow for officials to constantly make the mistakes they do. some of the decisions that are made are just sheer incompetence, and considering the impact referees have over results and the larger football ecosystem, they rightly deserve their fair share of criticism when they make stupid calls.

its one thing to condemn death threats and such, another to attempt to protect them from all criticism entirely.

referees take insane amounts of abuse, including from players and managers. yes, they make mistakes. maybe they are indeed incompetent. but getting more better referees isn't going to happen if you don't first treat them better. and I'm not even talking pro level. referees come up through the ranks, and if they get abused at a lower level, chances are they just quit before making it anywhere near the premier league.

and the "role model" is the premier league. so you absolutely have to have a zero tolerance policy there.

I haven't seen loads of headlines and sheer insane outrage about Salah missing a penalty.
Its the same thing.

Its the same thing.

....thats not even close to being the same thing.

the far more practical and realistic approach is to just improve the financial package of being a referee. the idea that referees could and should be shielded from all criticism is a pipe dream. its better to just make it worth their while rather than advocating for something thats never going to happen.

That might work too. I thought PL referees would be millionaires like the players they have to babysit, but turns out that a PL referees makes around 70k a year (between salary and game commissions). It's not a bad wage, but considering half the players make more than that in a single game, it's worth considering redistributing a bit more of the TV money to the referees rather than the clubs...

its a joke that they only make 70k when you take into account their ability to influence multi million dollar industries. pay them more and give them incentive to perform well. if they make stupid decisions, they get criticised and at worst they just get cut.

It's amazing that within 48 hours, the Premiere League has gone from being top of the world to one of crooked officiating, and corruption speculation.
