Moyes was quick to acknowledge Slot’s qualities:
“Arne Slot has done a brilliant job and, I have got to say, he is a really good coach.”
👉 Respect where it’s due
But when it came to refereeing complaints, his tone shifted.
“I’m Not Having That”
Moyes strongly rejected the idea that Liverpool have been on the wrong end of decisions:
“I’m not having him saying they are getting bad decisions at Anfield…”
He went further, making a bold claim:
“If you ask any Premier League manager over football history, they will tell you that if there is one club that gets all the decisions it is Liverpool.”
👉 A statement that will certainly divide opinion
Anfield Advantage?
Moyes highlighted what many have long debated — the influence of Anfield.
“There are very few decisions that go against Liverpool at Anfield. Very few.”
He even suggested:
“I actually think Liverpool supporters would agree with that if they were being honest.”
👉 A controversial take that’s sure to spark reaction
Frustration From The Other Side
Moyes also pointed to the perspective of other clubs:
“If they are getting a few bad ones at the moment, well, we have had to put up with them for years.”
👉 Suggesting any recent decisions going against Liverpool are nothing new for others
Why This Matters
Refereeing debates are always sensitive — especially when involving clubs like Liverpool.
Slot’s comments reflect frustration from recent games.
Moyes’ response reflects:
- Long-standing perceptions
- Rival frustrations
- The belief in “big club advantage”
The Bottom Line
David Moyes respects Arne Slot as a coach.
But on refereeing at Anfield:
👉 He completely disagrees
And his comments will only add fuel to an already heated debate.
