Chris Sutton claims he is completely perplexed by what Liverpool just did.

Chris Sutton is having trouble understanding Liverpool’s recent statement regarding the PGMOL.

The Reds made a scathing statement toward the officials on Sunday, refusing to let the mistakes from their defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday go unpunished.

In an odd turn of events, the strongly worded response has drawn a lot of flak.
Former striker Sutton, who questioned Liverpool’s motivations for Mail Sport’s “It’s All Kicking Off” podcast, added his voice to the chorus of critics.

“They aren’t going to get the game replayed, are they?
They aren’t going to get their points back.
The pundit complained, “There are decisions made with VAR, Brighton last season were wrong on a number of occasions, but I don’t think I saw any statements from them.

“I just don’t understand where they’re going with this.
When will this be over, and do they want heads on a platter for this.”

Sutton challenges the claim made by Liverpool.

The response from the larger football community to Liverpool’s struggles this weekend was incredibly disappointing, and Sutton’s response sums it up.

The fact that those who are involved in the game fail to distinguish between, say, what happened to Brighton and what happened on Saturday, has really been quite astounding and eye-opening.

The Reds, like all teams, have experienced VAR errors that went in their favor.
One example of this is the failure to overturn Arsenal’s goal from Gabriel Martinelli at The Emirates last season.

But in that case, as in others, the technology didn’t operate as intended.
The camera had a blind spot, making it impossible for VAR to examine Martinelli’s goal.

In the FA Cup last year, Wolves visited Anfield, and exactly the same thing occurred.
Why should Liverpool request a replay when they didn’t demand one?

To begin with, no one from Liverpool has even suggested a replay or that Spurs forfeit the points.

Second, this was a completely original incident that had never happened before.
According to PGMOL, the goal’s disallowance was due solely to a misunderstanding between the VAR officials and the referee.

Clearly, the error was discovered shortly after the goal was disallowed, but nothing was done to fix it.

Since Liverpool’s statement didn’t go far enough in our opinion, we say as much. Sutton be damned, they ought to pursue this to the very end.

Klopp digging: Liverpool must consent to a £52 million+ fee to secure signing

Due to Salah’s uncertain future, Liverpool has been linked with a number of right wingers, with Donyell Malen being the most recent name to surface.

The Dutch international has long been a favorite of Jurgen Klopp, who is now reportedly working hard to sign him, according to Sport Bild.

The reputable news source states that Liverpool and Klopp want to sign the Dortmund star but will need to agree to a fee of over £52 million (60 million euros) to close the deal.

Malen is a gifted player who can play in a variety of offensive positions with success, but he has primarily excelled on the right flank.

The former PSV Eindhoven playmaker made 22 starts for BvB in the Bundesliga last year and directly assisted 16 goals (9 goals and 7 assists).

The 24-year-old has made 7 starts across all competitions so far this season, scoring 4 goals and dishing out 2 assists.

Malen has so far amassed 22 caps for the Oranje, but last year’s World Cup team did not include him.

According to Sport Bild, Klopp would prefer the Netherlands winger as a backup to Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah.

Legendary players like Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, and former captain Jordan Henderson have been replaced by the Reds.
They must sign a top-tier player to replace Salah as soon as possible.

Should Liverpool agree to a price of more than £52 million to sign Donyell Malen?
