Jurgen Klopp took on the media after our loss to Brentford and accused the home team of “stretching the rules” during corner routines, something many have mocked and believed is simply not true.
After more than seven years in which the German was in charge of our club and achieved the success he has at that moment, surely we should at least play along with his opinion and review the available material.

Looking back on Thomas Frank’s sides opening kick that came from an Ibou Konate own goal, there are four possible moments that could easily be perceived as potential fouls and these are:
Pushed Kostas Tsimikas from behind, Thiago Alcantara blocked, Ibou Konate stopped and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain shot by the attacker.
True, these are all minor moments, but if this is to be used to try to understand what our coach was requesting to be penalized for, then these incidents might be the only things that would result in the potential goal being disallowed.
