I thought refs would improve under webb. Brilliant referee over the years. Done wonders in the USA with their refs

Comes in.. it's got worse since
I've said this before but I seems to be because his hands are continually tied by stupid regulations not allowing him to change or do anything about the situations.
 
Form is temporary.
Sure he will come good.
In the mean time it’s amusing for the rest of us😂
He's actually been bang average his whole career and spent almost all of it in backwaters. He was partly to blame for Ajax's meltdown to Spurs in that infamous comeback. His one decent season for Inter was the anomly.

After turning up late and missing Cameroon's first Afcon game, he made two gaffes in the second one and has been dropped. You've got to question how bad Man Utd's back up is if ETH won't give him a start in a game like Wigan away!
 
Yes but those games involve Liverpool if he’s there more than anyone else!

But if Liverpool’s win rate is 66% for all matches, and Liverpool’s win rate for matches refereed by Tierney is 66% then I can’t see a problem. If his win rate for Liverpool matches was 50%, then yes there’s an issue.

Look at the league table. Liverpool’s win rate is around 66%, which includes matches reffed by number of refs. Look at the stats Pin-Seeker posted up in which Tierney reffed. It shows a win rate for Liverpool of around 66% too.

His stats for Utd and Arsenal are reflective of their overall win rate. However, he’s done 20 games for Spurs yet only 5 wins, 25%, for a team whose overall win rate is very similar to Utd & Arsenal, circa 50%. If any team should have a gripe it’s Spurs.

We have won games he’s refereed but it’s some of the decisions.

we won 4-0 Sunday but the tackle on Diaz = nothing.
Penalty on Jota = nothing.
He was in the VAR booth the ref obviously missed both.

In a tight game decisions like that are important.

Every ref is making mistakes, and to a large extent they always have but thanks to Sky everyone and their dog now knows about it. However, the fact remains that Liverpool’s win rate is around 66% across all refs and around 66% from Tierney. And if that is the case, I’d hazard a guess there’s a number of refs that have missed big calls for Liverpool. If they hadn’t, the win rate would be skewed in favour of the other refs, but it isn’t.

To be honest, this feels like a tilting at windmills moment, i.e. there isn’t really a case against Tierney.
 
Got to love fans of one of the big 6 clubs complaining that a ref isn't giving them decisions when everyone knows that the bigger teams will get over 60% of the 50/50 decisions.

Remember the uproar after the decision in the spurs v Liverpool game?
I’ve genuinely never known a controversial decision being talked about so much,if that was Wolves v Palace it would have been forgotten about 2 days later.
But Liverpool seemed to have been the first club to fall foul of an error.
