Richard Keys reiterated his criticism of Premier League referee Michael Oliver following the contentious conclusion of Liverpool’s draw with Manchester City. Keys asserted that Oliver is “beyond criticism” and VAR is “inefficient” un matches where he is the referee.
Following Oliver’s decision to not award Liverpool a penalty in the final moments of Sunday’s match at Anfield, Keys expressed his criticism once more on social media.
“Unless someone in the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) team musters the bravery to inform Oliver that he has committed an error, the recurring incidents witnessed at Anfield yesterday, as well as in numerous other matches, will persist.” I have expressed all my thoughts and opinions during this current season and the previous one. He believes he is beyond criticism. VAR is a futile endeavor when he is present on the field. The Mirror reports the keys were shared on Twitter.

He believes he is beyond criticism. VAR is an inefficient use of time when he is playing on the field.
Keys extended his remarks in his online blog, stating: “If Jurgen Klopp believed that Stewart Attwell would inform Michael Oliver of his error, what did he have for lunch?” That outcome was highly improbable. The value is zero. There is no information available. It is not Sunday. Never. I have been informing you about this for several months now.
