Liverpool manager Arne says the announcements of the referee in the game “are not needed” and wants Matchday teams to increase to 23 players.
Stuart Attwell became the first official in the history of English football to announce the decision during the match when Reds traveled to Tottenham In the first part of the semifinals of the EFL Cup on January 8th, explaining the judge for the assistant video (VAR) in the offsid invitation against goal Dominic Solance for Spurs.
The approach will continue to be examined in this week’s semi -final legs, and the official body of the PGMOL says that the move reflects “the dedication of transparency and accepting technological progress in favor of officials and fans”.
“That was so obvious that it was really necessary to announce that it was in the offside,” Slot of Atwell’s announcement said. “What we were increasingly interested in was why did he not give another yellow card [to Tottenham’s Lucas Bergvall]which is something he did not explain.
“But if he explained that, it might be a disadvantage of a home team. Then, maybe, it gets more pressure on the judge, so I wonder if this is a good thing for the referee, because it is already under a lot of pressure in every game from home fans.”

The slot “would not be a good judge”
Bergvall scored four minutes of winner, but the angry slot was previously reserved for his protests after the midfielder, who had already been reserved, remained on the field after the challenge of the Liverpool bonatist Tsimikas.
“Explaining the decision against the domestic team, he would add even more pressure in his next decisions he must make,” Slot suggested.
“They always tell me they are well trained for that I certainly not. If I have to blow a whistle during training, then I’m always like ‘Hmm Bergvall, he’s a little frustrated, let’s give him a free hook next time.” I probably wouldn’t be a good judge , but that’s my opinion.
“I see when the judge makes a decision. I go two steps backwards and I see live coverage of everything, but this is probably not available for every fan at the stadium.
“If fans like it and it’s something nice for fans, let’s do it. I wonder if we all like it, but if fans really like it, let’s go on with it.”

Postecoglou criticizes the varnish announcement
Tottenham’s manager Ange Postecoglou also seemed an impressed announcement. “If people think that announcement has added anything to the game tonight, then I’m sorry,” he told Sky Sports after the first leg, BBC Sport. “He used to set his flag and the game continues, but still.”
The judges will use stadium public address stadium addresses to declare the final decision after visiting the VAR monitor after the incident, such as random handling by goalkeeper or extraordinary verdicts, with only the final decision published at the stadium.

Newspool teams team against Tottenham
Spreader Trent Alexander-Arnold Is Liverpool’s only absence while trying to undo the deficit of Anfield on Thursday (20:00 GMT) against the opponent 29 points below Premier league.
Slot said he would tell the Caoimhin Kelleher and Alisson Becker goalkeepers who will start the game on Wednesday and question why Matchday teams are limited to 20 players.
“That’s the only thing I don’t understand here in England,” he claimed. “Like the world – and in Europe, when we play in the Champions League – we can take 23 players to the game.
“The characters, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Chelsea and all those in Europe play so, so many games. If you are able to play all these games, you need a big detachment.
“It’s hard to choose the first 11, but to tell someone they are not on the team, it makes it even more difficult. I don’t understand why we’re not going to 23.”

Slot: Matchday’s Size ‘heavy’
“This country plays the most games and we only have 20 players we can take. Nine substitutes are more than enough, but to keep the locker room, you need more than 20 players.
“Why can’t we bring 23 players to the game? Since this is the rule here, it will probably be the hardest decision I have to make – not the first 11, but leave someone who works so hard every day and wants to be involved. The hardest decision is to don’t even take them into the game. “
Newcastle host Arsenal with a 2-0 leadership In the first semi -final decision on Wednesday (20:00 GMT). Extra time will be used if the ties are scheduled after 90 minutes, as well as penalties if there is no winner 30 minutes later.
