Although the level shown by Liverpool on Thursday night in the Europa League group stage closing game against Saint Gilloise in Belgium was also a disastrous performance by the Israeli referee Orel Grinfeeld as his decisions ended up hurting the home side's first goal of the game, it was in the first half when the Belgian side took the lead with a goal that started with a clear offside play that was not reviewed by VAR.
It was in the first half when the Belgian team took the lead with a goal that started with a clear offside play that was not reviewed by the VAR. In the second half there was another goal for the home side but that one was reviewed in a replay and disallowed due to a clear handball which covered up the bad performance of the referee.
German coach Jurgen Klopp kept his best players in the team for Sunday's Premier League derby against Manchester United at Anfield, where they will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the table. So on Thursday he played several young players who struggled to adapt to the demands of a continental tournament.
However, this was a calculated risk on the part of our coach as this type of experience will also help the young players to grow and continue to develop, thinking that in the future they can be fully incorporated into the first team to become new stars that will help Liverpool to remain as the biggest team in England.
