Unveiling the Absence of VAR in Liverpool’s EFL Cup Clash Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s esteemed manager, has often voiced his concerns over the absence of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system in certain stages of the League Cup.

Liverpool have excelled with Jurgen Klopp at the helm, going from mediocre top-four hopefuls to champions of the world in the space of four years.

Well, here we are. Game 38. All or nothing (and the Europa League is nothing as far as I’m concerned. It’s a fine, a tax on not being good enough for the Big Lads Cup). It all comes down to this. Firstly, I’m fairly sure that that 3-4 game at the Emirates which started this […]
