Okay, so it was more of a backhanded swipe than a full-blown Klopp rage.
It was a dig either way.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
It was a dig either way.
He literally ran himself into the ground, left his role for a rest. Feel free to look it up.
Himself, could be; but you were talking about 'them' , with which I suppose you mean the team.
I have long given up correcting posters when they bring it up.
It's up there with "away goals count double" on the Caf.
Yeah, can't be bothered either, just didn't want to leave it unchallenged like that.I have long given up correcting posters when they bring it up.

Honestly really dislike Klopp.
I had a 7 year stretch of convincing at least one person in the CL knockout threads that away goals actually did count double.I have long given up correcting posters when they bring it up.

He’s honestly really, really, thoroughly dishonest.
Klopps actual quote:
"They didn't play their usual way, the way which makes them typically lose games. They didn't bend over for us so I'm upset. They should have to use the same tactics against us as they had against every body else. The team and I are not smart enough to change our tactics when the other team do. It's disgusting football. Also, wind."

Liverpools away record has fallen off a cliff, Klopp needs to stop with the bullshit and sort it out
According to Klopp teams battling relegation should open up and go to toe to toe with the best side in the league. Fecking moron.
It was also raining for parts of the match
Why wouldn't they? They had Henderson and Fabibho as CBs ffs.
He's so sore loser it's really funny.
He’s such a bad loser. I thought Fulham played them off the park in the first half. Solid performance by them.
Ah yes! Missed that, I thought he was just gurning at the end but after replaying it a few times I can make out "feckin sprinklers"
He also mentioned sprinklers.
Has Klopp been found out?
Last year, teams bought into them being defensively impenetrable and sat off them. No teams went after them. This year, teams are having a go at them and lo and behold, getting more joy.
Did he hugs and kisses at the end, though? That's modern football, I was told.
Did Fulham even play long ball? Maybe they’ve changed a bit since the start of the season, but it wasn’t anything close to traditional long ball tactics.
It would be similar to Ole coming out and moaning about a team sitting back and playing on the counter. Getting the ball to the forwards quickly is kind of Klopps thing.

How come, mate?
Long balls played in the Premier League this season... Fulham - 612.... Liverpool - 685.... Klopp the fecking Clown.
We need Mou to try and target Klopp now - as much as disliked Mou here, I do like the entertainment he brings to the league. Klopp looked livid throughout that game and he is the king of shit excuses. If Spurs beat them midweek we might actually get the first managerial meltdown since ‘respec, respec, respec’
Link?
I can't be bothered to look it up, sorry, but look for posts by the resident German posters in relation to Klopp. They've explained multiple times. In short, though, he stayed there a full seven years; had to deal with important players leaving, but still had only one poor season (his last); and in that season his team was often extremely unlucky (crazy stats) and he anyway finished only just outside the European spots thanks to a very strong run in the second half of the season. That's not 'burning out his team'.
Haha this man is a mentalist. After reading this I am pretty happy with the result we got
He should've given credit to Alisson for saving them, not to moan about some nonsense

Ok so you’re saying they won’t have many injuries? Let’s see how it goes this season.
Huh? I was talking about his Dortmund period. Don't they anyway have a lot of injuries already? Although hard to say what's what in this pandemic season.
I think your point was that he doesn’t run his players to the ground. But they will have more injuries then others. It will affect them, this season more than others, but it will affect them. They were lucky to not be affected the last 2 years but you can’t just keep praying for your luck to always save you.
I bet you Spurs for example will have less injuries. Even us, as we share the minutes as much as possible and rotate a lot.
I was just responding to someone saying he ran his Dortmund team into the ground. There is just no evidence of that. But yeah, it's well possible that he's doing it this season with Liverpool. Klopp plays a lot less intensive with Liverpool now than he used to at Dortmund, but it's still more than Mourinho will ever commit to, and players can't take as much in the current situation. Anyway, time will tell!
Can be certain that Jose will certainly rattle his cage on Weds night with how they set up too. Sensible teams aren't going to open up against them after seeing what happened to Leicester & Wolves.I was really listening properly, but, from the reaction of the people in the studio, he was moaning like a baby that Fulham didn't play the way they expected them to play.

Come on Mou! Fulham handed you Klopp on a platter! Rile him up!!
Leicester didn’t open up against us at all. They say in and tried to counter. We’re actually better against sides who sit back. Spurs would be better off doing what Fulham did early on against us.
Just because Germans explained it doesn't mean it's completely correct, because that's just their opinion. German also praised the likes of Boateng and Batsdstuber as the best CBs in the world, so I wouldn't completely trust them. It's completely reasonable to use tiredness as one of the reasons why Klopp's team slow down after few years.I have long given up correcting posters when they bring it up.
It's up there with "away goals count double" on the Caf.
Ive always thought he was very false and the nice guy act was paper thin. Just never liked him.
I know I would agree as a United fan but think you are spot on. Klopp gets a lot of love from Liverpool fans and the media, but beneath the thin veneer there’s a proper sore loser and pretty unseemly bloke in my opinion. I also think that he’s a massive narcissist.
