The international thing is because there was no real preseason and the fixtures are being condensed.The simple solution is to have the teams in Europe play at 1500hrs on the Saturday/Sunday after and not 1200hrs. No need to leave it to the Monday. Don't really see that it would make a huge difference but it might reduce the moaning. Let's face it, most of the moaning comes from Managers in the immediate aftermath of their teams f*cking things up.
Not sure I get your point about cancelling international football because this isn't a single-season issue, its been this way for years. Its only now the EPL are whining though.
Interviewer is an idiot. Unprofessional.
Said this for years mate. There was an incident with him and a fourth official in Bundesliga which was ridiculous too.He’s a fucking tadger. The teams in Europa are rightly playing Sunday. His false nice guy act slips whenever they drop points stupid specky goofy looking tit
Klopp does not come across very well there at all.
Have you mistaken the guy with the teeth & Liverpool cap for the interviewer?Interviewer is an idiot. Unprofessional.
Probably a waste of time if the reason for him being unprofessional really needs explaining.
Edit: Just seen your comment “let your man”. Genuinely just about spewed on my phone.
Dry your eyes.Your agenda is so transparent. Klopp is a Manager that, relatively speaking, spends a fraction of Guardiola and Mourinho’s in terms of net spend.
Klopp doesn’t normally complain about a decision against him, unlike the other two. You haven’t really heard him complain about Liverpool’s injuries or a lack of backing.
He might be animated on the touchline but that is just his style.
If he is now frustrated by the decisions var is giving against Liverpool, it’s understandable.
Utter nonsense, he’s doing his job.Interviewer is an idiot. Unprofessional.
Hope the gaffer doesn’t have a log-in hereCan see why scousers love Klopp, he's a greetin faced prick
He's the exception to the ruleHope the gaffer doesn’t have a log-in here
Klopp showing his true colours.
An egotist, a fraud of a manager and a fraud of a man. Looking forward to see Liverpool's collapse this season, he does't have what it takes when the pressure is on.

And that's why senior football is heading for trouble. TV controls it. That means armchair 'fans' & licensed premises. Not us punters going though turnstiles.

He does my tits in hahaTelt as per mate.
Klopp has a duty of care to his players, he's well within his rights to ask why the %^*& he has to put out a team at 8pm on a Wednesday and then have to travel 270 miles for a 12:30pm kick-off on a Saturday.
BT are well within their rights to say "We pay crazy amounts for the coverage, we want the match that will give us the highest ratings"
This is a Premier League %^*& up. They should dictate to the broadcasters what matches can be moved for coverage (with teams who compete in Europe and are playing away as the exception) but they sold off timeslots and not games. So, limiting the choice for broadcasters will drop the price at the next auction and all they care about is the money so they wont.
Strange if that’s the only thing you deemed unprofessional in that 8 minute interview.Think you’ll probably be in the minority with that take in all honesty.
The only thing that appeared unprofessional was Klopp’s sarcastic ‘congratulations’ when he asked about Milner’s injury.
What an absolute weapon.
No. I have eyes and ears.Have you mistaken the guy with the teeth & Liverpool cap for the interviewer?

It would be a waste of my time. For me, it doesn’t need explaining. You clearly think different.No it’s not a waste of time. Take 10 seconds to write a line explaining to us why he was unprofessional. The only one lacking etiquette there was the greetin’ faced German with his needlessly sarcastic remark about Milner.
Not for me. Des Kelly was conducting a normal interview until Klopp congratulated him for a hamstring injury to James Milner.Interviewer is an idiot. Unprofessional.
Should use them mateNo. I have eyes and ears.
His job is to ask questions about the game itself. That’s his job. Regardless if Klopp was snide or not. How many interviews have you seen like that? In my decades watching the game, I’ve seen 1 and it was that game just then. The reason for that? Because there job isn’t to get in to arguments about nonsense.Utter nonsense, he’s doing his job.

Exactly what happened when St Johnstone lost at home to that mob recently, 2 of the 5 subs scoredcan probably see why smaller clubs wouldn't want 5 subs because it will allow the bigger clubs more options to win games against them with better quality on the bench
Klopp's mask has slipped a lot this season because him and his team are not having it their own way this time around
Yeah thanks for that mate.Should use them mate
Where in the job description does it say you should only ask questions about the game itself and ignore any discussion from the interviewee on other matters?His job is to ask questions about the game itself.

Don't think it's personal (unless I've missed something), he was moaning at the Sky guy last week too.Take it there is a bit of previous with Klopp and the interviewer? Klopp comes across as a whiney sore loser in that interview.
Not that I'm aware of but I was wondering if BT had possibly told him to bite back a bit at the hypocrisy given some of the recent statements managers have been making about this. Ultimately the interviewer is right, don't blame the broadcasters for doing what they are paying good money for. The problem lies with the Premier League which is the clubs themselves.Take it there is a bit of previous with Klopp and the interviewer? Klopp comes across as a whiney sore loser in that interview.
We are doing Thursday/Sunday every week, and we will pretty much rotate the 12 slot as well every other week."Wednesday night then 12.30 on Saturday is dangerous for the players".
That extra 150 minutes recovery until 3.00 makes it so much safer?
Yep, next week we are a Thursday 8pm followed by the early kickoff Sunday up at Dingwall.We are doing Thursday/Sunday every week, and we will pretty much rotate the 12 slot as well every other week.
This has been standard for seasons. No big deal
