Thomas Tuchel feels referee Anthony Taylor could have taken more time before dismissing Reece James against Liverpool as reported by Calcio Exclusive

The defender was given the marching order as he handled the ball to keep away Sadio Mane’s goal bound effort. The referee also pointed to the spot and Mohamed Salah made no mistake as he converted the spot kick to level the score.

Tuchel said, “Double punishment is always super hard and a bit of a spoiler for the game. But it is the rule."

"I don’t like these early red cards in general. It spoils the game. Nobody wants to see that for 45 minutes, they want to see a high-level game. Even when watching on TV I don’t like it. But I don’t have a solution for it or a better idea right now."

“The decision itself, I can understand it. I’m not saying it’s a wrong decision but I didn’t like the way the referee checked it, he checked only the image and the image showed the clear contact and then it was a clear contact."

“We saw on the bench on our iPads the whole movement, and we saw it was a deflection, short distance, comes off the hip to his arm, his arm is not in a super unnatural position."

“I’ve heard referees say it’s not a punishable action. I would have wished for a longer consideration, although maybe the referee could have taken the same decision anyway. We have to live with it and I can live with it that some decisions are the responsibility of the referee in the moment.”
