Kenny Dalglish has hit out at referees claiming that crucial decisions have gone against Liverpool in every match this season.
Liverpool lost 1-0 at Stoke City on Saturday with referee Mark Clattenburg involved in penalty decisions at both ends of the park.
The defeat leaves Dalglish’s side trailing the two Manchester clubs by five points after four games with the pressure starting to tell on the Anfield boss.
Dalglish said: “Our first four league games have all had a contentious decision in them and every one of them has gone against us.
“We would like to be respectful towards referees. I think I have been respectful to referees, but more importantly than being respectful to referees in their campaign it’s about having respect for my football club.
“If I feel Liverpool are suffering then maybe I need to go down the same route as some other people go and see if we can get some benefit from that.
“I’ll speak to the owners first and see what they say because the last thing I want is for my behaviour to infringe on the club’s success in any way.”
“If we continue to play like that with the same attitude and the commitment then we will be OK this season, but if we continually get battered with things that are outside our control then we are not going to have much chance.”

Referees H. Webb and M. Atkinson are both god refs. And also 100 % anti-Liverpool!
They have been hurting LFC tremendously for a very long time by interpreting the rules harshly against LFC, which is unlawful according to the rules of fairness!
Yesterday (15 May 2011) Webb did this in the 0-2 defeat to Spurs:
9 minute: goal – possible freekick to LFC?
26 min. : P. Crouch acting, gets a freekick – destroyng a LFC pressure
28min. : LFC contra L Suarez kicked from behind but no freekick no yellow card
29 min. : Rose clearly commits penalty against Kuyt – not given
45 min. : P. Crouch commits freekick against L. Leiva – results in a chance for Spurs
SECOND HALF
46 min. : S. Pienaar should have been booked for a freekick against D. Kuyt
47 min. : P. Crouch commits freekick but not given – results in a chance to Spurs
54 min. : SCANDAL: Flanagans lawful shoulder tackle gives Spurs a penalty – outside of box!
77 min. : Danish commentator: ” Webb has had many fifty-fifty decisions against Liverpool”
83 min. : D. Kuyt`s acting gets LFC wrong freekick, danish commentator:”you could say LFC
has had such a freekick in coming”
Very true Kenny, very true. I am glad that you spoke up because many of us fans feel the same way!
