While incompetent refereeing ruined Liverpool v Tottenham, it has revealed the Italian education of Jurgen Klopp.

Let me just start off by saying that all the 3-3 draws and 3-4 losses are just Liverpool having to pay their dues to the universe for their 3-3 comeback win vs AC Milan in 2005.  

Now, there will be articles out today on Liverpool’s 2-2 Tottenham; column inches which, if piled one on top of another, would elevate you to the state of moksha. A bazillion or so words amounting to the sentiment of “we waz robbed”.

But this being an Alternative Match Report ™ (all rights reserved), we had to keep an eye out for the not-so-blatantly-obvious. Saying stuff like, “Mo Salah was good again” or the “refsakoont” makes this an exercise in social media regurgitation. And would raise existential questions in the mind of the writer writing this piece, and insult the intelligence of the reader reading it.  So, let us tell you something that you saw but probably didn’t notice.
