Arne Slot jumped for the defense of the referees and said that as an officiating will never appeal to everyone in a world where most people have a negative state of mind.
Liverpool’s head coach spoke after the arbitration organization PGMOL admitted that Everton James Tarkowski defender should have been sent for reckless follow-up on Alexis Mac Allister in Merseyside Derby on Wednesday, that the Reds won 1-0.
The PGMOL chief, Howard Webb, was in contact with Liverpool and Boss Slot said: “ I think it’s always good that if they think they made a mistake, they recognize him. And we all know that mistakes are made in football matches – by me, by me, players, referees.
“All over the world, errors are made, it was also in the league, in Holland). We all target an error -free league and I aim for a season without my making a mistake with the alignments I make.
“But unfortunately, it will probably never happen. Not with me and not with the decisions of the referees.
“Errors are made. I am the Dutch League in Holland and there are so many criticisms of the referees in Holland, so I think it’s in this world. If there is a possibility of being negative, eight out of 10 people will be negative.

The aggressive follow -up of the defender was described as a “leg circuit breaker”
Arne Slot launched a passionate defense of the referees despite the bad call
“So, if the referee makes a bad decision, everyone will fall. If I do the bad programming, everyone falls. So I think it’s a season OK for England’s referees, in fact.
“Errors are underway, but the most important thing is that it does not influence the league painting and the only answer to this is that we see it at the end and we say:” Did it influence it, yes or no? ” ». Errors are part of our life and referees.
PGMOL has contacted Liverpool and recognized their error. Although they did not publish a statement on the record, it is understood that PGMOL thinks that the nature of follow -up in the challenge has reached the threshold of a serious game.
The opinion of the PGMOL is that a Var review, led by Paul Tierney, should have been recommended and, ultimately, the initial decision reversed. It is part of Pgmol’s mission to be more open and more transparent, than Slot and Liverpool warmly received.
Mac Allister, who was at the reception of the tackle, played the rest of the match, but Liverpool will assess the Argentine midfielder in the next 48 hours in case he has a delayed reaction to the difficult challenge. Liverpool plays Fulham on Sunday.
The goalkeeper Alisson will also be checked before the trip to the western London after Brazil N ° 1 has missed the Merseyside derby having failed a concussion test. He was launched at the top of the international service against Colombia two weeks ago.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez remain injured, but Conor Bradley pushes to be able to return to the team. Wednesday, Curtis Jones played in the back and Slot said: “It is very useful for me.
“Me and Richard (Hughes, sports director) are talking about it a lot and next season and it’s nice to have versatile players. Curtis is certainly one of them, he can defend and attack and can play in so many positions.
“He has the mentality that he likes to be challenged. Yesterday was a challenge, some players hate being challenged and staying in their comfort zone, but Curtis is ready to take up the challenge.
