Ibou Konate should have been able to complete for a simple header out of our box and enable Liverpool to win the game against Everton but that wasn’t the case.
In a moment that seemed obvious to all but Michael Oliver and those with blue-tinted glasses, Beto clearly used his arm to disrupt the jump of our defender.
Despite having a great vantage point, the on-field official missed the infringement and then VAR also overlooked the foul.
Thanks to cameras inside the goal, we now have an even better view of how our No.5 was thrown off balance by a player who made no attempt to play the ball.
It won’t make matters any better than our current seven-point lead at the top of the table, though it does further explain the fume of Arne Slot and why he was sent off after the full time whistle.
How the referees missed the Konate incident is laughable
Even fellow referees have spoken out about the poor decisions from the 39-year-old during the game and it’s hard to understand why he was entrusted with this fixture.
There will be a call from many of our fans that the Northumberland-born referee is nowhere near anymore of our games as we try and win the title.
There’s still several big matches left in this month alone and after a string of poor decisions against us in the past, this latest series of gaffs will be the final nail in the coffin for most.

If he couldn’t see the blatant foul on Mo on the edge of their box it’s not surprising he missed that push. When are we going to see PGMOL removed as the protectors of incompetent officials? Surely they shouldn’t be allowed to regulate themselves?
But his handball in the box was absolutely fine…
beto hand hit the ball into konate lol so what are you actually talking about
He has to be the worst ref in the league. He misses or ignores so many things. There is probably not many clubs who he hasn’t made a important decision against. In most occupations, he’d be fired. It’s time PGMOL removed him.
must investigate if there’s any corruption involved
The ref had a bad game, how did he miss Konate’s clear handball in 2nd half, how can he not see he scooped the ball away?? Terrible performance!
Think you’ll find it came off Beto’s hand first.
Everton fans singing.your not fit to referee.says it all really.plus evertons goal ruled out.was a goal.so stop crying.end of .we toffees were the better team.look at the stats.an take your red glasses off.
On that instead everyone’s beto was on offside position
Everton’s beto was offside
VAR says he was not. They have the angles and the technology. It is arrogant of any of us to imagine we can establish a better line than the computer process. If they say he was onside, I am not in a position to argue, and neither are you!
And how did you miss Beto’s handball in the same incident?
As an experienced referee, I would say Beto would not be guilty of a handball offense. The ball came at his hand from a position he could not anticipate, his hand was in a normal position. Ball-to-hand, no time to react, no handball.
At first, it seems Konate is swiping the ball away, but I think in the end, he also did not anticipate the quick arrival and was not acting intentionally. That one was more subtle, but I still think the referees were correct to not make any call .
Watch again. This time veeeery slowly. As if your eyes were VAR and your eyelids the line that separates an offside
I made no comment regarding offside. But neither is guilty of an intentional handball. I figure they have all this technology and probably are better positioned to call offside than I am. As a ref, I trust my ARs on offside calls.
Man City would be one.
Michael Oliver was a very good referee before the Italians cursed him for his controversial penalty decision against Juventus in 2018. Since then his stock has been on the decline.
Michael Oliver should resign now. Otherwise, he will face more disgrace and humiliation.
Michael Oliver more like Oliver Hardy but not funny just incompetent will just say nothing and keep his head below the parapet ready for the next payment.He should be demoted but won’t be because Howard Webb loves him.Only in the premier league DISGRACEFUL
I think its becoming more evident that officials are ignoring most offences against Liverpool with every touch given against us yes we fouled in the game against Everton some were just stupid but to make game changing decisions when Oliver was stood watching close by was just beyond believe, the first goal was not a foul by Mac he did not touch him the second Everton goal was off side weather it suits PGMOL or not then cannot change the off side rule when it suits off side is off side. then the push which Oliver must have seen as he is shown to be stood in front of the pair involved had Konate not have been pushed he would have headed the ball away end of.
then the melee that happened after the final whistle was all down to Oliver.
VAR is there if the ref misses or makes a genuine mistake so WHY is it not bringing these errors to the officials attention.
things have got to change Mr Webb.
The entire Liverpool team was guilty of pushing the player before they jumped up for a ball. The entire match. In particular the thug/bully know n VanDicke as he does every week. Nothing was done! The handball for a penalty? The elbows from Mac Allister, no red card. The second yellow for #84 before he was subbed off….. Doucourie was walking towards the Park End and took the opportunity to Shhh gesture. After all the stick. Can’t take it? Don’t throw stones in a glass house!
Jordan Dickford should have been shot for his tackle on VVD some seasons ago and the SAME fricking ref in this game gave you a point, which you celebrated like a bunch of blue arsed monkeys.
Get off your high horse and get informed about football. If you were the better team, you would have won WITHOUT the help of Michael “Head up my arse” Oliver.
Remember this moron refereeing Derby County and he refused to give Derby 3 clear penalties.
If Trump was head of PGMOL; M Oliver YOUR FIRED.
How was there 3 extra minutes on top of the 5
The 2 Everton lads clashed heads with 12 seconds of extra time left. So should have been blew up next kick of the ball. All felt like a fix to me
I am an LFC supporter – so state that up front – but all these one eyed Evertonians – tell me when Decoure took up ballet lessons and learned how to dive like a swan/and why every time he did it Oliver gave him a free kick. Apart from te push by Beo on Konate when the second goal was scored – tell me with 5 minutes of extra time – how the equaliser was scored just on 7 minutes/why did Oliver allot more than the extra time he should have!…and do not give me the garbage about a player went down during that extra time/because that is garbage…what should happen when extra time is decided is a clock timer should be activated/when a player goes down/or the other coaching trick is to make replacements in extra time/in both instances the clock should be stopped during that time and when play resumes the clock should be re-activated…by the way for the first goal Beto comes back from an offside position before the kick/therefore should have been called offside! Thank you Premier League/PGNOL/and most of all Michael Oliver in assisting Everton to the fullest with all your shenanigans to give Everton a chance against Liverpool!!!
Sorry but l disagree Beto from that angle doesn’t look like he anywhere near konate,Beto was also entitled to go for ball, there’s no foul there.
Michael Oliver was inches from the free kick that never was and led to the goal.
Michael Oliver was inches away from players that were chasing down salah and ultimately clipped him from the back and he let the game carry on
Salah did appear to be fouled, it was a bad miss!
