Liverpool recorded an important victory over Everton, although a lot of the post-match chat has been centred round Paul Tierney and Sam Barrott.
The duo have been supposedly readily available to supervise the sport but there have been a number of situations the place this was not the case, together with a really harmful sort out from James Tarkowski.
The defender apologised for the problem after the sport and the PGMOL have already confirmed {that a} mistake was made for the 32-year-old to not be despatched off.
On X, one consumer approached former PGMOL boss Keith Hackett for his tackle ‘how each the ref and VAR didn’t ship off Tarkowski’.
The 80-year-old responded with: ‘sheer incompetence of the best order’.
It’s a damning evaluation of how the officers didn’t see that it was a transparent purple card offence for the centre again, who almost broke Alexis Mac Allister’s leg.

Sam Barrott is a comparatively inexperienced referee, overseeing simply 5 of our matches and all of them have been this season, with Wednesday night being the primary time he’s been in cost at our residence within the league.
The Yorkshire-born official can maybe be excused a bit of for being overawed by a recreation that seemed too large for him, which is why a yellow card was proven.
Nonetheless, with Paul Tierney being sat within the VAR room and accessing all of the angles – this error lays with him.
After a powerful historical past of upsetting Jurgen Klopp and making many anti-Liverpool calls, it’s clear that the 44-year-old just isn’t succesful to do his job and the true problem is that so lots of his colleagues are in the identical boat.
