An atmosphere of arrogance has penetrated the recent official by Michael Oliver and has contributed that he is no longer the best of the Premier League, a former referee Chef claimed.
Keith Hackett, former PGMOL boss and ex-Fifa officer, believes that Oliver would benefit from coaching advice in the aftermath of his display in the Merseyside Derby on Wednesday evening.
The official four red cards after the last whistle after a fight at the end of an exciting 2-2 draw between Everton and Liverpool. The visitors were saddened by a number of decisions that contradicted them, including awarding a free kick that led to the Toffees -opener.
And the decision of Oliver and Var Chris Kavanagh to overlook a push in Ibrahima Konate in the run -up to the dramatic late equalizer of James Tarkowski.
Reds -captain Virgil van Dijk claimed that Oliver lost control of the procedure and Hackett thinks that the recent performances of the Englishman -including the shocking resignation of Arsenal's Myles Lewis -Skelly for an harmless error means that he no longer as the best referee must be considered in the country.
Hackett wrote in De Telegraaf: 'I am not saying that he' reigns' it, but he does not perform as well as he could and probably needs a boot to say: “If you want to keep your status as no. 1, you have to Perform better “.
'In my opinion, he is currently not no 1. Anthony Taylor sometimes performs better than he and the referee is currently shining Sam Barrott, who is relatively new in the list and is really performing well.
'You can't live from your reputation, you are as good as your last game and Oliver must be told that. Looking at his performance in the Merseyside Derby, there were mistakes everywhere and stayed on the field at the last whistle that invited almost a confrontation with Arne Slot.
“As a referee a game like that means that they have empathy with what stands for you.”
The four red cards published by Oliver turned out to be midfielder Curtis Jones of Liverpool and Everton's Abdoulaye Doucoure after the couple was involved in the fight that caused the chaos.
Liverpool Boss Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff were also rejected after heated fairs with the civil servant when they had requested the allocation of Everton's Equalizer.
Earlier Oliver had given the home team a free kick, despite the repetitions that showed that there was no contact on Everton wing player Iliman Ndiaye by Alexis Mac Allister.
Jarrad Branthwaite took the opportunity to continue to Beto after he was not covered by Konate, which led to a shot that Wranded under Alisson for his fourth Premier League goal this season.
Liverpool was quickly right by Mac Allister's header after an assist from Mohamed Salah. Then they took the lead in the 73rd minute after a strike by the Egyptian, who extended his lead at the top of the Premier League scor cards with his 23rd of the period.
However, the Toffees would have the last word in the last Merseyside Derby in Goodison Park, with Tarkowski's professionally taken half -volley in the eighth minute of the stop time.
“The Merseyside Derby is always a challenging game for the competition officials,” Hackett added. 'When the temperature rose, Oliver was unable to increase his performance. I also felt that there were occasions that he had to impose his authority through the spoken word.
'A quiet word than a public reprimand for bookings. He decided to show yellow cards instead of his authority.
'Another aspect to consider: Oliver stagnates and I think one of the problems is the quality of coaches within the PGMOL. When you consider that Lee Mason is head of coaching, I am against me that Oliver is above their standard and that is where the shortage is.
“Mason has not been an international referee. Are the coaches good enough to deliver at the elite level? It requires more in terms of injecting the dynamics that says that each game is important and we expect improving performance. I talked about this with colleagues and Oliver can deliver much better than he recently. '
