Yep. Just made him more irritated.Any mention of the Salah strop when he got subbed?
This was the Ole rant on steroids though. He completely lost his head.As funny as it was, I still get where he was coming from. We might be hearing Ole having a similar meltdown soon so I can't enjoy it fully.
Did bloody laugh though.
That was underwhelming, it sounds more like the interviewer melted down rather than Klopp.
My thoughts exactly. I found the reporters tone rather condensending actually. I felt Jürgen handled it well, he maybe wasn't able to express himself well but I put that down to English being his 2nd languageSounded like 2 old pissheads arguing in the pub. Both of them came across as muppets I thought.
To be fair, Klopp's points are far more pertinent than those of the reporter.Tweet

It's not really though. The reporters point isn't that BT are unilaterally making decisions on broadcasting, it's that they've chosen those slots and timings in advance with the PL. For Klopp to then go after a specific broadcaster is a bit strange and, as he says, not the right target.To be fair, Klopp's points are far more pertinent than those of the reporter.
It's completely insane that we don't have 5 subs and are asking clubs who are in Euopre to play in the earliest fixture on a Saturday. Especially when you've got WBA-SU this evening.
It's all very amusing because it's fecked Pool today, but that could easily be us one week and we'd be making the same points.
Yeah agreed. I agree with Klopp on this. But the interviewer was also right.It was quite amazing as the interviewer really went after him and argued the toss.
Fergie would have given him a right serve and stormed off.
I can't stand Klopp and his antics but fair play for just about remaining calm and not smashing him!
They are and they aren’t for me. Yes, the schedule is shit and too much is asked of players but the managers are the ones choosing to select them. He didn’t have to play Robertson today. The left back he signed in the summer was more expensive than anybody Brighton bought this summer. If you can’t use him in those games, when can you use him?Am I the only who thinks that the points he's brought up are legit concerns?
I wonder how Fergie would've dealt with the fixture congestion of this season? Then again, Fergie once played a midfield of Rafael, Fabio, Gibson and John O'Shea and beat Arsenal 2-0.
Dunno, Klopp was clearly being a bit confrontational with the "congratulations" "you picked this" etc. Don't see why interviewers should have to put up with shit off managers all the time, especially when he's right, if the PL had a problem with it then the clubs should of objected to it but didn't. Managers and football clubs pity parties at the moment get really tiresome for me though.Interviewer was a bit out of line imo. Surprised Klopp put up with him for as long as he did.
That was wonderfully bitchy.Klopp handled this interview extremely well, the thread title is misleading.
I liked how he name dropped Chris Wilder as the manager opposing 5 subs
haha, it was. I thought it was quite well snuck in The 3 sub rule is a pile of wank to be honest, absolute stupidity.That was wonderfully bitchy.
It was us last time wasn't it?To be fair, Klopp's points are far more pertinent than those of the reporter.
It's completely insane that we don't have 5 subs and are asking clubs who are in Euopre to play in the earliest fixture on a Saturday. Especially when you've got WBA-SU this evening.

I don’t understand this whole argument really. Rotate and use what you have, we are getting called out yet we are also hit with injuries etc. I would be livid if we were holding on for a result against a top side and then they fetch on more £50M+ game changers from the bench.haha, it was. I thought it was quite well snuck in The 3 sub rule is a pile of wank to be honest, absolute stupidity.
"He’s a world-class manager and a world-class politician, who cares about Liverpool," he said. "That’s all he cares about.
"He was never going to say what about Sheffield United getting their fans back in or Newcastle or Man City or Man United or anybody else. He’s a world-class politician.
"I know his background on support and how much Anfield has been a fortress. The Liverpool support is magnificent, I know it is because my old man is from that part of the world.
"I know he’s been vocal on that and Jurgen isn’t going to say it’s not right that they can have fans in as they’re in tier two and Sheffield United, Leeds, Manchester and all the rest of the north are not allowed in.
"It was funny looking at that map, wasn’t it? Shock! I think us in the north were fully expecting us to be in the old tier three as they kindly put us in."
"Cards on the table, he’s going to look after his own club," said the Blades boss. "I’ve got incredible respect for these top managers because they produce top results and win things.
"But they’re selfish, they look after their own clubs. They’re not going to be bothered about Sheffield United, they’re not going to be bothered about England.
"They’re going to be bothered about Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea, which I understand and respect. I would be the same, but I’m bothered about Sheffield United and it doesn’t help us to have five subs.
Yep and Shaw paid the price that time.It was us last time wasn't it?
