While it appears there will be no formal complaint to the authorities, the club’s board have now put the matter in the hands of their legal counsel, Jonathan Bamber.
Jurgen Klopp wants last weekend’s controversial game at Spurs replayed because of the „unprecedented” circumstances surrounding VAR’s total failure.
But Liverpool have yet to confirm they will make an official request to the Premier League for the match to be replayed as they explore all options open to them, following the release of the official referee’s feed.
There will be no formal complaint to the authorities as the club’s board have now put the matter in the hands of their legal counsel to investigate – Jonathan Bamber, general counsel and director of football at Liverpool Football Club. Limited options are open to them.
It is uncertain whether any replays will be possible within the league’s regulations, but Klopp believes it will have to be done due to the unique circumstances surrounding Luis Diaz’s perfectly good goal, which was disallowed due to „significant human error”. In the VAR control room.
„It was an obvious mistake and I think there would have been solutions afterwards. If not, I can say straight away, I think the only result would have been a replay.
“Probably some people don’t like me saying that, it’s not going to happen. But not as Liverpool’s manager, but as a footballer, I say this is unprecedented.
„There may be an argument against (replay) if you open that gate and everyone will hear it. But I think the situation is unprecedented and the replay will be perfect. It has (never) happened before.
„I’m 56 years old, I’m 50 years old in football, I’m absolutely used to – even if I don’t always handle it well – wrong decisions, difficult decisions. But as far as I can remember nothing like that happened.
Klopp was asked directly if Liverpool as a club would formally seek relegation from the Premier League, and after a calm exchange with the club’s press officer, he replied with a big smile: “We’re still looking at the information at this stage – sorry! „
The club, led by their general counsel Bomber, will scrutinize the entire proceedings of Saturday’s game – including carefully watching the feed detailing the exchange between referee Simon Hooper and the two VAR officials Darren England and Dan Cook – before making a decision. In the next step.

But as Liverpool host a Europa League game on Thursday evening and then travel to Brighton on Sunday in the Premier League for a 2pm kick-off, the deadline to allow a formal appeal to replay the game is unlikely.
Spurs, for their part, have refused to respond to Klopp’s comments and will allow the process to play out within the framework prescribed by the Premier League.
