In the aftermath of the game between Tottenham and Liverpool last Sunday, Jurgen Klopp called for a replay as the best and only outcome given the tremendous mistakes of the match officials and VAR.
However, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou strongly disagrees with Klopp.
“My view is when you’re talking about a replay, there’s got to be some sort of threshold and I don’t think a mistake is a threshold for that, irrespective of the consequences,” Postecoglou said in a press conference.
“If we stray into integrity or misappropriation of the law, then you maybe have a case to say: ‘Well, you know what, there’s something there.’ But, ultimately, when you strip it all back it was a mistake, that’s what it was. It was a unique mistake, people have used [the words] ‘an unprecedented mistake’ and I agree with that, but it was still a mistake.
"So if your threshold for replays is mistakes by individuals, that’s 365 games a year, I reckon,” Postecoglou added.
The defeat at Spurs was Liverpool's first of the season and ended a run of six consecutive wins.
