Liverpool are in first place and this is a great merit for the whole team, as they keep a great mentality, where there seems to be no room for conformity. Despite this Klopp has had to deal with several problems both internally, where injuries are the main factor and externally, where everything else seems to be against the Reds. The referees have been announced for Liverpool's match against Bournemouth, where everything seems to be calm as Andy Madley is the central referee while Harry Lennard and Nick Hopton will be his assistants; the fourth official is Graham Scott and finally Paul Tierney will be in charge of the VAR.

The VAR becomes the biggest problem for the Reds, who have had serious problems with the terrible interventions of the referees to judge properly some clear actions of danger in favor of the Reds. Furthermore, after the lousy history between Jürgen Klopp and Tierney, this is terrible news for the Reds, and there will be no shortage of opportunities for Tierney to show improvement or continue with his lousy decisions against the Reds.

This decision comes at a crucial moment for the Reds, who will be doing everything possible to maintain their lead in the Premier League as they are only 2 points ahead of Aston Villa and 5 points ahead of Manchester City, but the Citizens have a game in hand. So a refereeing mistake during the match against Bournemouth could cost Liverpool dearly, as they may not be able to regain the lead they currently have over their rivals.

Liverpool will arrive to the next game with a very limited team and now with a bad news from the referee for the match, so the Reds will have to be as careful as possible, because even if the mistake does not come from the referee, a mistake from any Reds player could be crucial to maintain their excellent level. So the players who have the opportunity to play will have to be very focused on the match.
