A Liverpool star has admitted that “he would get into trouble” if he talked about Michael Oliver's controversial decision during the Merseyside derby against Everton in Goodison Park.
The 2-2 draw on Wednesday saw four red cards shown after the final whistle after a massive fight between both teams initiated by Curtis Jones and Abdoulaye Doucoure, who were fired by the referee.
Arne Slot and his assistant Sipke HULSHOFF were also sent on the other hand in the confrontation after the Dutchman was seen having an angry confrontation with Oliver.
After the end of the game, the Liverpool manager approached the game officer, exchanging words and giving an indignant handshake, which led to his red card.
However, after a heated atmosphere in the famous Everton land, that of Los Rojos, Conor Bradley, decided to remain silent with the arbitration of the party, saying that “I would get into trouble” if I spoke with Oliver.
“I felt that I had to be careful, especially get the yellow card,” he said.

'I don't think a yellow card deserves, but I don't think we should talk about the referee, I will probably get into trouble.
“I was obviously disappointed to get the yellow card and had to be good from there and make sure they won't send me.”
Bradley was reserved during the extra time of the first half, only one minute before another Everton player, Abdoulaye Doucoure, received his first yellow letter.
The fight began after James Tarkowski obtained an equalizer of detention time to give his team a point against his city rivals.
In addition, after the final whistle, Doucoure was seen celebrating the visiting fans, which led Curtin Jones to confront it before the butlers and the police separated both players games.
However, before Tarkowski's goal, Jarrad Branthwaite and Carlos Alcaraz faced the heads and the referee of Everton and referee Michael Oliver arrested the game at 93:43 for two minutes to allow the players to receive their medical treatment.
When he interrogated if the arrest gave Everton an advantage, Bradley said: 'Yes, he did. I don't even think they should have recovered the ball after it, but that gave them one more opportunity.
'The referee continues to play and play and obviously have that opportunity.

“They probably shouldn't have had that opportunity, but it is simply disappointing to have the victory there and not being able to get it.”
“But as I said, we have to recover on Sunday and, hopefully, get three points.”
After his red card, Slot will miss the game against Wolves on Sunday, with the assistant coach of the first team John Heititing probably took over.
However, it seems that the intrigue of the Premier League has returned again after the reds lost two crucial points in Goodison Park, with the arsenal ready to reduce the gap between the equipment of the table.
Currently, Liverpool sits with confidence in the first place with 57 points.
“Of course, it's a good position,” Bradley said.
'We simply have to continue, continue working hard every day and keep improving. We have to continue collecting the three points where we can.
“We know that there are still many games to go and (we have to) keep the head down and move on.”
