Jurgen Klopp finally reacts to Anthony Taylor’s red card decision on Reece James
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has given an honest verdict on referee Anthony Taylor’s controversial decision to send off Reece James during the 1-1 draw at Anfield on Saturday.
Klopp insists it was harshed and spoiled the game.
Jurgen Klopp believes the sending off of Reece James “spoiled the game” as Liverpool were forced to rue a home draw with 10-man Chelsea.
He said: “I never like the double punishment, but if someone ever listened to me about the rule changes or rules, then a lot of things would look completely different, but they still look like they look.
“It was absolutely harsh and yes and spoiled the game, probably.
“I liked our first half and we caused Chelsea problems and we caused them problems in the second half as well, it was incredible intensity for Chelsea too.
“But they did well and that’s why they deserved the point, obviously, but I would have loved to have seen the game stay in an 11 versus 11 situation.
“Let’s have a look and see who comes through better. That’s how it is.”
