'There are some arguing' - Jamie Carragher hits back at 'unfair and inaccurate' Liverpool replay response
Jamie Carragher has revealed he does not agree with Jurgen Klopp's request to replay Tottenham Hotspur versus Liverpool, though understands why the Reds' boss has deemed this a necessary step.
Liverpool were on the receiving end of an extremely poor mix-up among the match officials in charge of last Saturday's match in the capital, which saw Luis Diaz's goal wrongly ruled out with the score still at 0-0.
A VAR check took place on the Colombian's well-taken finish and showed the former Porto winger had timed his run to perfection, ensuring his effort should have stood. But a breakdown in communication between referee Darren England and those back at Stockley Park manning VAR saw offside given as the on-field decision and Spurs then score two minutes later.

Audio of the officials debating this decision released by the Premier League has only added to the frustration felt by Klopp, who suggested on Wednesday the match should be restarted in the interest of fairness. Unconvinced this is likely to occur, Carragher believes Liverpool are 'fighting a battle they cannot win' and must now move on from this unfortunate situation.
Jumping to the defence of Klopp as regards the backlash that has come the way of the Reds' boss from rival supporters for his recent comments, Carragher has acknowledged it is little surprise the German is seeking some form of support having been on the wrong side of the fine margins that exist when competing for silverware.
