Gerrard happy Moss is retiring as Villa boss calls for referee's display to be 'looked at'
"Is he? Good" was Steven Gerrard's response when he was told referee Jon Moss is about to retire.
Steven Gerrard wants Jon Moss's officiating in Aston Villa's 2-1 defeat to Liverpool to come under scrutiny and says he is pleased the referee is retiring.
The second-placed Reds moved level on points with Manchester City in the Premier League title with a victory at Villa Park on Tuesday.
Douglas Luiz gave Villa an early lead, but Joel Matip equalised three minutes later and Sadio Mane scored a second-half winner.
Villa manager Gerrard was not impressed with the performance of the experienced Moss, who did not brandish a single yellow card.
Moss will retire at the end of the season and Gerrard could be in hot water after stating that he is happy with the 51-year-old's decision to bring his career to an end.
When informed Moss is about to retire, Gerrard said in a post-match news conference: "Is he? Good."
Asked about the performance of Moss on Tuesday, the former England midfielder replied: "No comment, I just hope that it’s looked at. That's all I say. I hope it's looked at.
"Have I gone to talk to Jon Moss? No. I just hope his performance is looked at. I don’t want to be sour, Liverpool scored two goals against us and we need to look at that and I don’t want to cover over any cracks."
