Liverpool legend John Aldridge believes VAR official Paul Tierney should be axed after failing to overturn Alexis Mac Allister’s red card against Bournemouth. The World Cup winner was shown a straight red by referee Thomas Bramall on Saturday following a late challenge on Ryan Christie as his first Anfield Premier League outing ended in disaster.<\/p>\n
Thankfully the Reds were able to hold onto the three points after Diogo Jota added a third for the home side but now there has been some more positive news for Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n
That’s because Mac Allister will now be fit for Sunday’s trip to Newcastle after Liverpool’s appeal was successful with the Football Association.<\/p>\n
But Aldridge doesn’t believe this should be the last of it as he urged PGMOL to take action against Tierney, who has a history with aggravating Klopp.<\/p>\n
Aldridge told the Liverpool Echo: \u201cPaul Tierney was the man in charge of VAR for the game and it is well-documented we have experienced a number of issues with him in the past.<\/p>\n

Tierney should be taken off duty for the upcoming weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n Back in May, Klopp received a two-match ban for comments he made about referee Tierney after Liverpool’s 4-3 win over Tottenham at the end of last season.<\/p>\n Klopp had suggested that Tierney had “something against” the Reds following the dramatic seven-goal thriller.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

It was amazing.<\/p>\n “It wasn\u2019t the match that I expected but we were able to succeed as a team giving the best we had.<\/p>\n “I would like to give special thanks to my team mates for the great effort and the fans for their constant support.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/4922483.jpg?r=1692732077794\")
