West Brom manager Roberto Di Matteo felt the sending-off of James Morrison was harsh as Liverpool picked up a 1-0 win. Fernando Torres won the match with a fine volley before Morrison saw red for a lunge on the Spaniard. Di Matteo said: "We are massively disappointed. We put in a good performance against a very good team and they needed a piece of quality by one of their players. "I watched it (the sending-off) again and it looks a bit harsh. I don't think there was any intention to hurt anyone. I think a yellow card would have been appropriate. I will look and see if there is a chance to appeal." Di Matteo also confirmed the club were in talks with utility player Paul Scharner, a free agent after leaving Wigan last season. He said: "We are talking to Paul and we will see if there is a possibility to do a deal with him. I guess that would conclude our [transfer] business."
