Southampton away on Tuesday was the end of a run where Liverpool had a game on every available midweek since Valentine's Day. In that period they have won two cups, made a Champions League Final and taken the league to the last day. It has been a magnificent run.

An immediate issue, of course, is that Howard Webb shouldn't be conducting the full review. Howard Webb is one of the factors that should be under review.

Technology is here to stay in @premierleague . It just has to be used better (as elsewhere). Howard Webb's "full review" must be about more than the Luis Diaz shambles. It needs to be about transparency, communication and developing better officials.

I see Joe Gomez is trending because of bellendry. He was by some distance the centre back who made the second most appearances the season we won our first title in 30 years. We all should be on a rota to knock round to his to say thank you on a daily basis.

The maddest thing remains that a game with 2 reds, 11 yellows and all this controversy didn't have a single malicious tackle within it really. Basically the players had more control than Simon Hooper. Not for the first time in games I have seen this season.

I want you to imagine this state of affairs: The VAR sees the game kick back off. Checks the scoreboard. No goal? No goal? Doesn't go "hang on, Si. We have a problem here". Anyway, really important to show the officials more respect. Really important.

Ok, here's the nuts and bolts. This is what happened with the Luis Diaz "goal" which Liverpool had disallowed vs. Tottenham. There will be a deeper dive in the Monday VAR thread, but in simple terms the VAR took the wrong onfield decision - it led to the goal being disallowed.

Quick note - Liverpool are unbeaten in all comps, won their first three in the group of death, have the current best player in the world, and broadly speaking everyone in the squad is playing well, and everyone in the squad has a role to play. All is good.

Given he wrote this - and he very much didn't have to - I think it is moody as fuck if Jordan Henderson goes to Saudi Arabia. He chose to be a strong ally to a group of vulnerable supporters and that *does* come at a cost. Henderson's own choices make it different.
