But even he has said he's not concerned about why it is different from anything else.
And "I think the only outcome should be a replay" is about as close to saying "I would like a replay" without actually saying those words, whether or not he thinks it will ever happen.
From here:
"
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: "The audio didn't change it at all because I was not really interested in why things happened because I knew - I saw the outcome, I saw the goal and we scored. It didn't count so I was not waiting for the audio and a statement and hoping to find out how it could happen.He added: "I think the only outcome should be a replay. That's how it is, [although that] probably will not happen."
"I don't buy in to the "self-entitled" stuff myself. The majority of people I know who bang on about that are Man U fans just trying to wind up hated rivals. Not supporting a Premier League team has its benefits (such as rarely ever being affected by VAR, or ever expecting a reasonable standard from match-day officials).

It's not quite the same tho, is it? There's human error on a subjective decision, and then there's a shambolic miscommunication during which VAR clearly reached the correct decision but somehow didn't manage to convey that to the referee. You could maybe draw parallels with the goal that was disallowed a few seasons back because the goal line technology malfunctioned, but that's an electrical failure rather than human, which is harder to swallow I think.
He doesn't really ask for a replay, he acknowledges that it's not going to happen and I'd suggest is taking that line because he knows it will get headlines and apply pressure to the powers that be in ways that him just ranting won't achieve.
All of this 'self-entitled'/'always the victims'/worst fans business, I just don't get. I'm not on twitter, which I guess might explain it. It certainly doesn't chime with the experiences I've had at many live matches and countless in the pub. It does have some unpleasant echoes to me of the vile post-Hillsborough stuff that went around but I'm sure that's not how anyone intends it.
