Ange Postecoglou says it is unlikely he would have allowed Liverpool to score after Luis Diaz's goal was wrongly disallowed against Tottenham.
Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, raised the possibility of a replay after Diaz's goal was chalked off for offside after a mix-up in the VAR room as Spurs went on to win 2-1 in stoppage-time.
Asked if he would have let Liverpool score had the officials given him the chance, Postecoglou said: "I just don't see that.
"If we want managers to be the arbiters of these kind of things. We've got pretty hefty responsibilities at our football clubs but we're not the custodians. I wouldn't make a decision that could potentially send a club down on the back of what my beliefs are.
"In that moment, if somebody could tell me that they could explain everything that went on within the prism of 30 seconds. I have to make a decision and it wasn't going to happen.
"It's different if it's something clear. It was a bad error through a lack of communication but it wasn't something that was easily explainable. If it was easily explainable, I would assume there would have been uproar than there was."

even down to 10 men your team can't play Liverpool, you watch the game you are there , on top of 10 men , they disallow goal score by 10 men against 11 men , again , they even score again , they even miss a clear chance , before your ref remove 1 again to 9 men , what a shame

The problem with Liverpool is they are noisey,and undermine other teams.They can not see themselves beaten. They dont accept that what is left of them is just a glymsy of the past.All teams are powerfull now.Mancity dominate,Arsenal is another giant,Brighton is an Horror to any team,Bretfort,Totenham,talk about NewCastle United. Time has past and gone for Liverpool and Manchester united they should just accept and do some work to come back.
