John Aldridge discusses Sunday's 2-2 draw with Brighton in part one of his weekly Liverpool column
I actually thought Anthony Taylor did OK on Sunday in our match with Brighton, but the game ended with yet more questions hanging over the officials.
This incident reminded me of one I was involved in as a Tranmere Rovers player during a League Cup semi-final second leg against Aston Villa. I was brought down by goalkeeper Mark Bosnich inside the penalty area and he should have been sent off, according to the laws of the game. I scored the penalty to make it 1-1 in the game, but we ended up losing on penalties with Bosnich later saving three spot-kicks.
We didn’t deserve to win the game overall, and a draw was probably fair, but we are continuing to be hurt by poor decisions being made by others. We've had the Mac Allister red card against Bournemouth, Van Dijk's dismissal at Newcastle, the absolute shambles of the Tottenham game and now this. At the end of games, we are always talking about referees, VAR - and we shouldn’t be. Referees should be taking their time to reach the right decision.
