Leon Osman believes that during Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Everton at Anfield on Saturday, Ibrahima Konate was pleading with Jurgen Klopp to be taken off the field.
Ashley Young was sent off for two bookable offenses in the first half, and after 37 minutes, Sean Dyche’s Everton team was already in serious trouble. Referee Craig Pawson had a difficult decision to make.
However, Liverpool and Ibrahima Konate found themselves in a similar situation in the second half before Mohamed Salah could open the scoring from the penalty spot.
The center back for Liverpool, who was already on a yellow card, fouled Beto as Everton was countering. The foul was called, but no card was issued.

That infuriated Leon Osman, who told Premier League Productions (21/10/23 at 2:45 pm) that he thought the match should have been “10 v 10” and that Ibrahima Konate was pleading with Jurgen Klopp to “please take me off.”
Ultimately, Joel Matip replaced the outgoing player shortly after the hour mark, a move that may indicate even Jurgen Klopp realized his player was fortunate to be still playing.In any case, this is what former Toffees midfielder Leon Osman thought of the Ibrahima Konate incident.
