The Reds fans have plenty of reasons to be frustrated with the 1-1 draw against Burnley. And some of them certainly revolve around David Coote, the referee in Burnley clash.
First, he was allowing too much in Liverpool's penalty box, as Alisson was physically bullied by cocky Burnley players and certain fouls should have been given in most of those cases.
And secondly, Coote didn't give a penalty on Andy Robertson, when Johann Berg Gudmundsson nearly tore the Scotsman's leg off.
Naturally, both Robbo himself and Klopp were furious after the clash, as they approached the referees and verbally annihilated them. Well, mostly Andy, of course, as his passionate rant was captured on camera.
"How’s that not a penalty is a disgrace. How the f**k is that not a penalty? You didn’t see f**king anything," the 26-year-old said.
"You didn’t see anything the whole game apart from f**king booking them in the last minute. F**k me. What’s the point in having you in the middle? What’s the point in having you? F**k me. Honestly.”
Well, Robbo, prepare for proper fines now. Totally worth it though!
As for Klopp, he was more restrained and less loud, so there's not much one can hear in his speech, which is unusual, to say the least. However, he later admitted that mostly he ranted about how fouls on Alisson weren't given.
Their frustration was doubled as the Reds have now failed to reach the historic feat of winning every single home game of the season, having lost first points in Premier League at Anfield since January 2019.
