Liverpool are considering lodging an appeal against Alexis Mac Allister’s red card in their win against Bournemouth, after the Argentine midfielder was sent off for a mistimed but not reckless tackle on Ryan Christie.
'It is not ruthless it is just mis-hit the ball and then hit slightly the shin of the other player. We saw harsher challenges which were not a red card and this shouldn't have been. I don't know exactly what we have to do, but we should talk about it again.'
It seemed bizarre that VAR Paul Tierney did not instruct referee Thomas Bramall to consult the television monitor.
