Liverpool may complain against Premier League match officials following their 1-0 loss to Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium today.
Manager Kenny Dalglish says he will consult the clubs owners, John Henry and Tom Werner, about making an official complaint after Stoke were awarded a questionable penalty in the 20th minute and then the Reds were denied a spot-kick of their own for a late handball.
Dalglish feels that gilt-edged decisions early in the season have gone against the Reds and suggests that something might be done about it.
"We would like to be respectful to referees - and I'd like to think I have been - but more importantly than being respectful to the referees is having respect for my football club," he said.
"If I feel they are suffering in any shape or form I will need to go the same route other people go and see if we can gain some benefit from that.
"The first four league games have had contentious decisions in them and everyone has gone against us.
"I'll speak to the owners first and see what they say because the last thing I want to do is for my behaviour to impinge on the club's success in any way."
And Dalglish thought his side deserved something out of the match after dominating for long periods.
"I think it is a bit of an understatement to say we deserved something from the game," he added.
"We can only do what we can do ourselves, sometimes other things are taken outside your jurisdiction.
"If we continue to play with the same attitude and commitment then we will be okay this season.
"But if we continually get battered by things outside of our control we are not going to get much chance.
"We don't have any complaint about Stoke; they played hard and played well, they got the goal and defended courageously at times and maybe at times they got a bit of luck.
"We don't have anything but appreciation for the way they played and the way they held on to win the game.
"There is nothing for me to say which is anything other than complimentary to Tony and Stoke. But I just cannot see how it is a penalty kick."
