Former footballer and current sports pundit Gary Lineker has expressed his bewilderment over Liverpool’s surprising decision not to file a complaint regarding Andy Robertson’s controversial red card in their recent match against Fulham. The incident occurred in the 17th minute of the game, which ultimately ended in a 2-2 draw for the Premier League leaders.
Robertson was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Fulham’s player, leaving Liverpool with only 10 men for the majority of the match. Despite calls from fans and pundits alike for the club to appeal the decision, Liverpool chose not to pursue any further action.
Lineker, like many others, has questioned the logic behind this decision, as Robertson’s absence could have had a significant impact on the outcome of the game. The red card ultimately forced Liverpool to adjust their tactics and play with a numerical disadvantage, which undoubtedly affected their performance on the pitch.
Liverpool’s failure to challenge Robertson’s red card has left many scratching their heads, as it appears to be a missed opportunity for the club to potentially have the decision overturned. As one of the top teams in the league, every point is crucial in the race for the title, and Lineker believes that Liverpool may come to regret not taking a stand on this contentious issue.
