Ange Postecoglou of Tottenham is unsure whether he would have permitted a goal to make up for the fact that Liverpool were denied a legitimate goal, while accepting that.In the moments following Saturday’s 2-1 victory for Tottenham over Liverpool, Postecoglou dismissed criticism of the use of VAR.

It followed Darren England’s significant gaffe in VAR, which saw Luis Diaz’s goal disallowed for offside despite the winger’s obvious onside position.

The audio from the VAR booth was eventually made available to the public following an investigation undertaken by Liverpool, demonstrating the extent of the incompetence displayed by England and the assistant VAR Dan Cook.

While rumors that the club may want a replay have faded into the background in recent days, a scenario in which Spurs allowed the Reds to score to tie the game might have been more plausible.

Similar circumstances occurred when Leeds played Aston Villa in 2019, with Marcelo Bielsa giving his team the go-ahead to concede after Mateusz Klich scored during an unscheduled injury stoppage.

Postecoglou, though, acknowledged at his Friday press conference that he would not follow suit and disclaimed all liability.

If we want managers to be the ones who decide these types of things, I just don’t see it, he added.

At our football teams, we have some big obligations, but we are not the custodians.

On the basis of my views, I wouldn’t make a choice that would potentially push your club into relegation.

If someone had said they could explain all that happened at that precise moment, inside the 30 seconds I had to make a choice, it wasn’t going to happen.

If it’s something obvious, it’s different.

It’s fairly evident that there was a communication breakdown that resulted in the error, but it wasn’t anything that could be explained simply.

If it were, I would anticipate there would have been a bigger commotion during the game.

Given that the judgment was made in the 34th minute and became a hot topic right away, the idea that there was minimal controversy while the game was still being played appears willfully stupid.

Postecoglou, though, maintains that it was a bit of a strange one because he didn’t believe anyone had a sense that anything big had occurred.

He continued, Anything I say is possibly going to be filtered through the possibility that we were the victims of an error.

That’s exactly what we were. The truth is that Liverpool actually scored a goal that wasn’t recognized.

Since that is obviously the first thing you wonder, you sort of investigate the reason why it isn’t offered. What is malfunctioning? Obviously, there is a problem.

It quickly became apparent that there was no problem with integrity, no violation of the law, and only a communication error.

That was a mistake that cost Liverpool a goal.
