Their manager certainly didn\u2019t cause he took the player off straight away because he shouldn\u2019t be on the pitch anyways. So it changed the game quite obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he thought Young\u2019s sending off in the first half was fair, Dyche said, \u201cThe problem is how do you judge now? Their player does a ridiculous foul, which he should be yellow carded for, probably worse than Ashley Young\u2019s first one. The second one has got to be a yellow card. But the first one \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no point. I\u2019m going to get myself in trouble. I don\u2019t know how I got yellow carded. All my staff got yellow carded. It\u2019s impossible that we could get yellow carded with that performance but anyways, we did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp also admitted that the refereeing decisions had a sizable impact on the result.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI liked a lot of moments and then the red card was pretty influential in the game. I wanted us to be calm and ignore that we were one man up. It is difficult in the stands because it\u2019s like now you have to create with each possession and it took a while until we got chances,\u201d he told the BBC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIbrahima could have gone, yes. It could have happened obviously and then we took him off and from that moment we were solid and compact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean Dyche Everton (Toffees) manager Sean Dyche criticised the \u201cbizarre\u201d refereeing decisions in his side\u2019s 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Saturday.
