Against the defending champions Manchester City, Liverpool FC received a break from the Video Assistant Referee this past weekend, making it once again LiVARpool. We’ll see if the video officiating for Mersey’s match against Lask Linz on Thursday night is on the side of the team. VAR gives and takes. Perhaps Liverpool’s success against City is a karmic payback for the Tottenham Hotspur debacle earlier in the campaign.
If it were up to Jurgen Klopp and his group, they would handle this situation so they wouldn’t have to worry about the match officials.
