Peak Refereeing Discourse in the Premier League
The Incident at Nottingham Forest
It would be nice to think we’ve reached peak refereeing discourse madness in the Premier League. We’re scraping the bottom region of the barrel, certainly, but then just a few short days ago who’d have imagined there’d be days-long hullabaloo regarding a wrongly awarded...
Klopp’s Assessment
“For 76 minutes it was a really bad performance. We did have rhythm changes; we didn't have any kind of acceleration. We had no timing. I don't know how often we were offside, it was horrendous, so that's always a bit of a sign that we are a bit too passive.”
