Arne Slot, manager of Liverpool, admitted that he is not a fan of the interpretation of the offside law, which ensured that Diogo Jotas Tor stood in the Merseyside win of the Merseyside on Wednesday.
With the game of the Premier League in Anfield in the 57th minute, Ryan Gravenberch started a further detection in Liverpool with a passport in Everton’s box. Luis Diaz was in an offside position, but did not face the ball, which was intercepted by James Tarkowski.
Jota plunged on the loose ball and combined with Diaz, who was standing up again – and climbed on toes between a forest from falling blue shirts before starting the game of the game to Jordan Pickford.
The gate stood when Diaz had “not” disturbed “as” the game “to ensure that Liverpool came with a derby victory to restore her 12-point lead at the Premier League summit. However, the slot was not impressed.

“I like the rule? No, I don’t like the rule,” the Dutch boss snorted. “It is a rule that does not help the team that wants to attack. Usually we go into half time, you [the opposition] Stand the ball for a long time to a player who is in an offside position and my central defenders feel like keeping the ball away.
“I always ask the line man: ‘Was he offside?’ And they say: “No, he didn’t get involved.”
Moyes was also not excessively in love with decision -making. “Liverpool was the better team, no complaints with it,” admitted the Toffees boss. “But it is disappointing to lose against a clearly distant goal. It’s pretty easy to give.”
Tarkowski was involved in the first major flashpoint of the competition and almost escaped a red card, although he sank his tunnels into Alexis Mac Allister. A VAR evaluation kept the challenge of being “ruthless” than “dangerous”.
Both managers agreed that Tarkowski was lucky enough to avoid the first sending of his Premier League career. “At the time I thought it was a brilliant tackle. But since I saw it again, we could have been lucky that we didn’t get red,” admitted Moyes. “It was a high one. I think it was the following that looked worse.”
Slot could hardly get to comment on the tackle. “I think everyone said something about it. Why should I add something to it?” He flinched the armpits. “It is so obvious that it is not necessary for me to make a comment.”
