Jurgen Klopp got a yellow card, but was more needed? Credit: Reuters/Carl Recine
The time has come for the authorities to hold Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp accountable for his unacceptable antics on the touchline. He becomes a serial criminal.
Klopp's latest misdeed during a capricious but thrilling match against Tottenham at Anfield had him running straight up to fourth official John Brooks to celebrate Liverpool's fourth goal. Paul Tierney showed the German a yellow card, but this should have led to his immediate removal to the stands.
Match officials must not rely on sanctions applied by the disciplinary commission a few days after these incidents after they filed a report. Match officials have to do their job during the day, enforce the law and fight the kind of behavior that unfortunately Klopp has shown all too often before.
Klopp has every right to show passion — and indeed his Tierney Complaint was reasonable, but he must state his point of view within acceptable limits.
This weakness of our elite officials in inaction during the game contributes to bad behavior at the grassroots level and tarnishes the image of the Premier League around the world. Lower level managers will look at how Klopp behaved and decide it's okay to do the same.
Klopp's comments on the referee: «We have a history with Tierney, I really don't know what he has against us This is howard Webb, manager of referees for Professional Game Match Officials Limited, who must arrange a quick meeting with the official, Liverpool manager, Richard Bevan of the League Managers Association and PGMOL director, to deal with. to solve these problems.
This was not the only flash point in the game. Tierney should have given a red card for Liverpool's Diogo Jota's high boot to Oliver Skipp's face.
I would tell Video Assistant Referee Chris Kavanagh that this was a clear and obvious mistake and you should have intervened.< /p>
The challenge endangered the safety of his opponent, and the sanction for this violation is a red card.
