Arne Slot unleashed Liverpool tactical change he's quietly been considering for months
Arne Slot disagrees with David Moyes’ verdict on Diogo Jota goal vs Everton - ‘no-one can complain’
Arne Slot can relate to David Moyes’ frustration that Liverpool’s goal was allowed to stand against Everton in Wednesday’s Merseyside derby but said that “no one can complain” that it was awarded.
Diogo Jota’s strike in the 57th minute ensured the Reds returned to winning ways after back-to-back defeats against Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle United before the international break. But the victory wasn’t without its controversies, with several incidents for the officials to deal with at Anfield.
Perhaps the most significant was the decision to allow Jota’s goal to stand despite Luis Diaz being in an offside position in the build-up. Ryan Gravenberch’s pass to the Colombian was intercepted by the sliding James Tarkowski and amid the subsequent defensive scramble, Jota wriggled free and slotted the ball past Jordan Pickford.
Everton felt the need for Tarkowski to throw himself at the ball, due to Diaz’s position, should have resulted in an offside verdict – even though the laws state that as Liverpool’s No. 7 didn’t attempt to win the ball, it was the correct call.
“Tonight was really tight and there was an offside goal which they get and that's the difference,” said Moyes after the game. “The player behind Tarkowski [Diaz] is clearly offside and it's a very easy decision to give. I can't understand any reason why that wouldn't have been given.”
But that’s not how the Liverpool boss saw things. “It’s nice to see that according to the rules it was a goal, so no-one can complain about that,” he told Sky Sports. “The rules tell us that it is a clear goal.
“I would be frustrated if I conceded it but I would be frustrated at the rules and not about the execution of the rules, because the execution of rules was perfect from the referee,” he added. “The rule in itself is frustrating.

“If a team wants to play a high press, but keep a high line, and then someone is offside you would love to see it being offside. That’s not the rules; the people that make the rules are not there for the love of the game, they are just there for making the rules.”
Slot didn’t want to be drawn on the other controversial moment of the game: Tarkowski’s tackle on Alexis Mac Allister, which saw the Everton defender only shown a yellow card. Jamie Carragher, Duncan Ferguson, Gary Neville, Paul Merson, and Mike Dean all felt Tarkowski should have been sent off.
“I think everybody has said something on it. Why should I add to it? It’s so obvious that it’s not necessary for me to comment,” said Slot, who admitted Mac Allister was lucky to avoid being seriously injured.
On Everton, he added: “A very difficult team to play against. The amount of shots they blocked, the effort they put in to defend inside their own box and then the threat on the counter with every ball they have they play long.
“It’s so difficult to play against, but our boys showed immense character today. I think we created more than we did in the away game. We were much more in their final third. In the end we scored a good goal and kept a clean sheet.”

David Moyes criticises ref for ‘clear’ offside – but Everton “could have been lucky”
Everton manager David Moyes was frustrated with referee Sam Barrott after Liverpool’s 1-0 win as he felt Luis Diaz was “clearly” offside before the winner.
Diaz was in an offside position in the buildup to Diogo Jota‘s strike at Anfield on Wednesday night, but did not affect play until he was onside.
The Colombian then flicked the ball into Jota’s path to allow the Portuguese to do the rest, twisting into space before hammering in to secure the victory.
It was far from the most controversial moment of the game but Moyes dedicated much of his post-match press conference to a decision he felt was “quite an easy one to give.”
“He’s offside. I’ve not had an explanation, but I’ve said that I’m disappointed,” he told reporters.
"When you look at the rules, there was no way this was ever getting overturned"

“It’s quite an easy one to give as well, because all of our players are holding the 18-yard line, Diaz comes from behind and affects Tarky from behind, clearly.
“I’m really surprised it wasn’t given – or maybe I’m not surprised.”
Moyes continued: “I don’t there’s many managers who come here and think they get loads of decisions at Anfield, generally.
“That’s me, that’s my opinion, and this was one here tonight which I think was quite easy.
“He’s along the line, the linesman, it’s really easy to give offside. Very, very easy.
“I wasn’t quite sure how good the linesmen did their jobs tonight, generally, there was some early flags, some late flags. I don’t think they did particularly well at it.”
More astounding was Barrott and VAR Paul Tierney’s failure to spot a clear red card challenge from James Tarkowski on Alexis Mac Allister in the opening stages.
It is an almost universal opinion that Tierney should have recommended a review and Tarkowski dismissed, and Moyes himself admitted his centre-back “could have been lucky.”
“I thought at the time it was a brilliant tackle for a derby game, I mean you people are all asking for it and when you get it you want him sending off,” he said.
“You’ve got to be careful what you wish for, you know?
“I thought it was a brilliant tackle. But since I’ve seen it and I’ve come back in, I think that we could have been lucky that he didn’t get a red.
“It looked high. But it depends on the era you watch your football in.
“To me, I thought at the time it looked a brilliant, brilliant tackle, and I think it probably was. It was the follow-through which looked worse.”

James Tarkowski apologises to Alexis Mac Allister after ‘reckless’ tackle
James Tarkowski made sure to speak to Alexis Mac Allister after Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Everton, with the defender incredibly lucky to stay on the pitch after his reckless tackle.
Everton and Liverpool were both lucky at Anfield on Wednesday night, but for two different reasons.
The former were fortunate to still have 11 men on the pitch and the latter would have been breathing a sigh of relief after Alexis Mac Allister managed to see out the match.
• READ: Premier League ‘explain’ Tarkowski foul decision
Tarkowski’s challenge was reckless, high and out of control and yet he only received a yellow card despite the football world being united in the view it was a clear and obvious red.
Referee Sam Barrott showed a yellow and VAR Paul Tierney failed to recommend an on-field review, enabling Tarkowski to apologise to the Argentine on the pitch after the full-time whistle.

Mac Allister appeared to be content with a handshake before moving on to the next player, but Tarkowski pulled him closer for a word – as he should.
Liverpool’s No. 10 seemed to leave on good terms but he was incredibly fortunate to have been able to see out the match.
Premier League explain Tarkowski decisionBarrott immediately showed a yellow card and Tierney reviewed the incident but did not recommend an on-field review to take place.
The official explanation from the Premier League Match Centre is as follows: “The referee’s call of yellow card for a reckless foul by Tarkowski was checked by the VAR, with contact on the follow through after Tarkowski had played the ball deemed to be reckless.”
Reckless is awfully generous.
What has been said
Arne Slot did not want to be drawn into the discussion, but he made his feelings known even if he did not say all that much.
He said: “So many people gave their opinion and a lot of people who are not in favour of Liverpool were so clear about it.”
One of those ‘not in favour’ is Gary Neville, who declared on Sky Sports: “That’s a potential leg-breaker.
“I think he’s very lucky there. There will be those that say it’s a natural follow-through.
“If you’re a defender, Carragher will be able to tell you even better than me, you don’t need to follow through like that. Such force, and it’s high. He’s very lucky.”
Jamie Carragher added: “The ref should give it on the pitch, for Paul Tierney to not give it on VAR is shocking.”
