Sad News: Formal Liverpool coach just died
Kyle Walker now gives his honest reaction to Liverpoolâs recent VAR farce
James Brooke
Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has given his take on the VAR decision which robbed Liverpool of a goal against Tottenham Hotspur.
By now, we all know the story. Luis Diaz ran through to open the scoring for 10-man Liverpool against Spurs in September, only for VAR to incorrectly communicate an offside call.
The incident has created much debate in the football world, with City man Walker the latest to weigh in. Speaking via Manchester Evening News, the 33-year-old admitted that he has mixed views on VAR.

âI like it when it helps us out and I donât like it when it doesnât help us out!â said the former Tottenham player.
âSometimes it does take away the talk about football when youâre talking with your mates about whether it was a goal or if it was offside, so it does take that out of it. Sometimes that does make it not go well.â
MORE LIVERPOOL STORIES
Commenting on the Diaz decision specifically, Walker suggested that two weeks on, the matter should now be closed.
âTheyâve come out and said sorry to Liverpool about that,â he added. âItâs football, itâs going to be opinions about whoâs right and whoâs wrong.â
Walker misses the point
What Walker seems to be missing here is that this was not âabout whoâs right and whoâs wrongâ at all. Perhaps he missed the incident in question.
For the Diaz non-goal, there was no other opinion to be had at all: it was onside, that was the whole reason for the controversy.
Nevertheless, the appetite for Liverpool to do something meaningful about the debacle seems to have dissipated.

Just as these things usually do, it has faded into the background as the game ticks on and on.
Thatâs all well and good, and itâs no use getting bogged down in the injustice of the situation. But what about when this simply happens again? It may not be Liverpool on the wrong end of it, but thatâs not the point.
Indeed, VAR almost caused another scandal just a few days on from their mess at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. During Burnleyâs game against Chelsea the weekend after, Raheem Sterlingâs dubious goal hadnât been fully checked before the referee restarted the game.
Luckily, the decision of âonsideâ was the right one and the officials got away with it. But it wonât be long before this happens again. As Walker says, we all like it when the decision goes for us, but letâs hear his thoughts when City get one illegitimately taken away themselves.

Liverpool have set their sights on signing Sane on finally replace Salah at Anfield.
Last year, the Reds agreed a deal worth 100 million euros to sign Darwin Nunez from Benifca. Sport claim the Anfield side are now prepared to break the record to sign the German international

LIVERPOOLLiverpool remain keen on signing Khephren Thuramby JitOctober 16, 2023
Share
Tweet
Khéphren-Thuram
Liverpool are reportedly still interested in signing OGC Nice star Khephren Thuram in the upcoming transfer window, as per the Italian outlet Sport Mediaset.
Having endured a dire campaign last term, the Merseyside club opted to revamp their engine room this summer to challenge on all fronts. They have signed Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch after letting Naby Keita, Alex Olexlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho leave the club.
However, although the Reds have purchased four new midfielders, they were linked with numerous other options with Thuram being among them.
According to the report by Sport Mediaset, although the Merseyside club didnât opt to make a concrete approach to sign Thuram last time around, they remain interested in acquiring his service and could formalise their interest next year.
Thuram to Liverpool
However, the report claims that securing the 22-year-oldâs signature wonât be straightforward for Liverpool as Juventus are also eyeing a swoop for him.
It was suggested that Nice wanted at least ÂŁ34m to let their star man leave this summer. But, it is likely that they could be forced to cash-in on Thuram for a cheaper deal at the end of this season if he doesnât sign an extension as he will enter the final year of his current contract with the French side next summer. So, Liverpool can manage to secure his signature in a cut-price deal should they formalise their interest.
Thuram is dynamic, technically sound, can play threading passes between the lines, can dribble past opposition defenders in tight areas, works hard without possession and can contribute defensively as well.
So, the Frenchman, standing at around 6ft 3in tall, possesses the necessary attributes to play in Kloppâs system, therefore he would be a great coup for Liverpool if they manage to lure him to Anfield next year.
However, it is going to be interesting to see whether Liverpool eventually decide to formalise their interest in signing Thuram to beef up their engine room.
Meanwhile, after failing to win back-to-back games in the Premier League, Kloppâs side will return to action when they welcome city rivals Everton at Anfield after the international break. The Reds have been dominant over the Toffees in recent times and the Reds fans will be hoping that they will be able to continue their impressive form versus Everton in this fixture.

Journalist details Qatarâs Liverpool stance after Man Utd takeover collapse
Mon 16 October 2023 15:00

Qatar reportedly still have money set aside for taking over a Premier League club amid rumours that Liverpool are on the Middle Eastern stateâs agenda.
According to the Daily Mailâs Mikel Keegan, Qatar have set aside as much as $8bn (ÂŁ6.5bn) to take over an English club, with news breaking recently that a deal to buy Manchester United had collapsed.
As a result, Liverpool could now be on Qatarâs radar, with the Arab state still eager to follow in Saudi Arabiaâs footsteps and buy one of the Premier Leagueâs most historic sides.

Keegan said: âWhat I know about is that they set aside $8bn for this project. That money is there and ready to go. It will be burning a hole in their pocket.
âWhat a story that would be, if they were that way inclined. From what I am led to believe they are very disappointed and angered at how this has played out.

âWhat better way to respond than go to Unitedâs biggest rivals down the road and throw all the money you were going to put into United into making them pay for that decision not to sell to you.â

Nation states getting involved with football is a worrying trend thatâs showing no sign of slowing time, and Liverpool fans should be hoping that a Qatar takeover isnât on the cards.
Whilst there is an appetite for new owners to come to replace FSG, few supporters will stand with a nation-state like Qatar buying Liverpool given their reported human rights abuses.
Indeed, Liverpool fans know that a change at the top is needed, yet with the situation not as desperate as Unitedâs supporters need to ensure that they are against a Qatari bid.

âI WOULD BE SURPRISEDâ: ÂŁ200K-A-WEEK ARSENAL STAR NOW A DOUBT TO START AGAINST CHELSEA

Charles Watts says he doesnât expect Thomas Partey to start for Arsenal against Chelsea when the Premier League returns this weekend.
There was a bit of a scare amongst Arsenal fans when Thomas Partey was subbed off at half-time during Ghanaâs 2-0 defeat to Mexico.
But as Arsenal expert Charles Watts shared âpanic overâ because it was all pre-planned by Ghana coach, Chris Hughton, as he told his own YouTube channel.
There is a reason why fans hate the international break. On one hand, it halts domestic football and, on the other, it puts their players at risk of injury and means that they travel back very late after duty.
Well, in Thomas Parteyâs case, he will be in action for Ghana on Wednesday night against the USA in Nashville, which means a late trip back to London.
Mikel Artetaâs side travel to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea for the evening kick-off on Saturday and Watts doesnât expect the ÂŁ200k-a-week star to feature (Spotrac).

Thomas Partey injury update
âMy understanding of Thomas Parteyâs early withdrawal from Ghanaâs game against Mexico at half-time was that it was a pre-determined thing,â said Watts.
âThey were just trying to manage his minutes after being so long out with injury and Chris Hughton has now confirmed that speaking to the press following the game.
âSo, panic over. No need to be concerned. I wouldnât be surprised if itâs very, very similar for Thomas Partey when they play on Wednesday night in Nashville against the USA. I canât see Thomas Partey playing the full 90 minutes. It might be another 45-minute type of thing for him, which is wise and sensible. These are friendlies, not qualifiers.
âItâs still a long journey home for him. Wednesday night in America. Arsenal are playing on Saturday. I would be surprised if Partey starts that game against Chelsea.â

Partey yet to get going
It has been a stop-start season for the 30-year-old, who is yet to consistently play in his midfield role this season because of Declan Rice.
When Partey was fit, Arteta opted to use him as a right-back with the duo yet to start alongside each other.
The hope from the Arsenal fans is that they do play together as soon as possible because it will elevate the team even further.

ÂŁ5m Arsenal player admits heâs trying so hard in training, wants to start more often
Milo Clay
Mon 16 October 2023 18:15, UK
Mohamed Elneny has admitted heâs been âfightingâ hard in training in an attempt to start more often at Arsenal.
Elneny has been speaking to The Evening Standard after returning from a lengthy spell on the sidelines last month.
The 31-year-old picked up a serious knee injury in January that kept him out of action for the remainder of last season.
The Egyptian midfielder returned to action in the Carabao Cup last month as he came on for the final 10 minutes in the 1-0 win over Brentford.
And while Elneny is fully aware that it will take time for him to get back to full match fitness, heâs admitted heâs desperate to force his way into the Arsenal side.

Elneny admits heâs âfightingâ for starting role at Arsenal
Speaking to the Evening Standard, Elneny admitted his goal is to become a starter for Arsenal once again this season.
âI want to finish my career when Iâm 37 or 36, so I still have five or six years left to go,â he said. âIâm working really hard like always and trying to go back into the first XI for Arsenal. For sure, itâs my goal this year.
âI know Iâm coming back from a long injury and this is what Iâm doing in the training ground; fighting, fighting and fighting to come back and be in the starting XI.
âThatâs why Iâm giving 100 per cent every day to show Iâm ready to play and then when I get the chance to play, I have to show I can still be there and give my everything to this club.â

Elneny had proven to be an important squad player for Arteta before picking up a serious injury last season.
The midfielder had stepped in several times in Thomas Parteyâs absence but he now faces increased competition for a place in the side after the arrival of Declan Rice.
While it seems unlikely that Elneny will force his way into Artetaâs first XI anytime soon, itâs brilliant to have players who are ready to fight for their place.

Gary Neville aims FSG dig at Jamie Carragher after ex-Liverpool star mocked Man United takeover tweet
Gary Neville was not pleased after Manchester United’s Qatar takeover collapsed, but former Liverpool man Jamie Carragher saw the funny side

Gary Neville hit back at Jamie Carragher with a sly dig about Liverpool owners FSG after his fellow Sky Sports pundit made light of Manchester United’s failed takeover.
Over the weekend it became apparent the Reds’ fierce rivals would not come into contract with the Qatari riches of Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, as the businessman withdrew from the bidding process to take control of the Old Trafford outfit.
That was despite offering ÂŁ5bn for the club back in May, with Rio Ferdinand making a poorly-aged statement that the deal was to be wrapped up quickly.
Now it appears the Glazer family will only part of United with a minority 25 percent stake going to English businessman Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

These events prompted a response from former player and now Sky Sports pundit Neville, clearly unhappy that his old club would not be taken over entirely given his recent track record speaking against the current ownership.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, he published a long rant outlining six “non-negotiables” about a takeover, plus a further list of 16 questions to tackle worries about a new minority shareholder coming on board.
In due course Carragher, a regular on TV alongside his ex-United rival, rubbed salt in the wounds. He joked: “That para is my personal favourite, thereâs a few other crackers as well,” screenshotting a section of the original post about Neville’s ‘non negotiables’.
Clearly a sensitive topic for Neville, he sharply clapped back at his co-pundit. “You can use it when youâre trying to kick your owners out in a few years,” was the last word in the public war of words.
Ownership is a subject both have clashed on at various stages dating back to when FSG announced they were exploring their options for investment 11 months ago. Around the same time Man United began their process to achieve a similar outcome.
John W. Henry then made it clear Liverpool were not for sale, culminating in a minority investment from Dynasty Equity at end of September. Whether this is the correct decision will be up for debate down the line, depending on the club’s on-field performance.
By this point Neville has taken Carragher on many a time, whether that be after Liverpool’s loss to Brentford in January live on air with Sky or again on X, there for all the world to see.
