Roy Hodgson spoke passionately after the game after his side were awarded two penalties.
One of these awards was given by VAR after the referee and VAR got the match wrong.”We talk about referees so much, I’m sick of it,” the 76-year-old told TNT Sports (via The Guardian ).
You can understand some of the frustration after watching Jordan Ayew pick up two yellow card fouls, but without connecting, each incident felt like a booking violation.
Looking back at what the Crystal Palace manager said last September (via the County Press ), he said: “I feel sorry for the referees.” That screams hypocrisy. Liverpool suffered the greatest injustice from the new way of running the game.
We found that the implementation of the new system was not meeting our objectives.
Everyone should support our plans to improve the way the game is played, but they stuck their heads in the sand and defended Howard Webb and PGMOL.
Now, every week, we see the same people breaking their promises and demanding real change. They benefit from lack of support.
We are in contention for the title and have only lost once this season. If the points or the points we would have won against Tottenham cost us at the end of the campaign, we should be complaining.
Instead, we see managers who criticize many small decisions and try to generate a level of sympathy that Jurgen Klopp and we do not provide.
