The reporter's an idiot.
Klopp's a dick.

In what way isn't it accurate? MON was a charmer....until he lost a game.
It is easy to be a wisecracking 'gentleman' when winning.
It was a shit question to be fair.What is it with this absolute throbber? Why does he need to try and belittle reporters at every turn? Maybe if he stopped interrupting the reporter could have finished his question.
Added link below to the press conference question, but if you don't have Twitter what happens is that a reporter asks about injuries last season and not knowing what's around the corner and Klopp just keeps interrupting him.
Struggling to see the relevance of Rangers cup record in a discussion about Liverpool and English football!I think we are the last club to be criticising others cup record.
It was a poor question but they are football managers. They are asked banal questions on a daily basis. Klopp though seemingly goes out of his way to belittle people. He's become embittered. Mourinho went the same way.
I think the question would have been better and more clear if Klopp let him ask it.It was a shit question to be fair.
Can anything happen?
Eh, yes. Next question.
Thought the same. SG was pretty short with some journalists when asked daft questions.If Gerrard had said similar (which he often did - although not quite as directly) when he was with us it would have been lapped up and that he doesn’t take any shit from the media etc.
It was a specific within that discussion.Struggling to see the relevance of Rangers cup record in a discussion about Liverpool and English football!
We've started exporting our idiots in the media now.Is that a Scottish journalist being negative, and coming up with a pish question?
Taking out the stutters and interruptions removes the context.I've removed the interruptions and the stuttering, and this is what we have:
Reporter: It was this weekend last year that you went to Palace and won 7-0, then the injuries kicked in and you went on that poor run of results. Is that a warning that in this league, even after a great start you don't know what's round the corner - we've got the covid situation at the moment, you just don't know what's round the corner.
Klopp: what has one got to do with the other? Maybe because I interrupted plenty of times. What is it that you wanted?
Reporter: the Premier league is such a crazy league (Klopp nods), that just about anything can happen and you had that fantastic start last season and then you had all the injuries and then this season you've had a fantastic start and anything can happen.
Press officer: I think the question is 'could we lose games?'
Klopp: oh Russell, surprise... Yes.
Maybe it's my aspergers, but I don't see anything wrong with what Klopp has said here at all. The reporter asked a convoluted mess of a 'question', he asked for clarification, the reporter made another statement (cause it wasn't a question), the press officer summarised, Klopp answered the yes/no question appropriately.
Put it this way, if our manager (any of them) did exactly the same, the forum wouldn't be critical of him and would be full of posts praising him... Probably with the word 'clamped' used.
IIs it that good old British mentality of 'we enjoyed you til you had your success, but that's quite enough now and we're going to tear you down'?
I remember a few times people questioned his approach.Gerrard was rude more than nice to folk asking him questions! Everyone loved it on here as it was hike “slapping down the media” or “putting them in their place” give me a guy like Koop who has genuine character than some boring pathetic lady's front bottom like Ole.
In a fan base as large as ours I imagine there would be a few but the large majority ate it up!I remember a few times people questioned his approach.
I will politely disagree.Taking out the stutters and interruptions removes the context.
Guy asking it sounded like Ian Blackford and delivered in the style of Ian Blackford, just rambling aimless p*sh
The way he spoke to our own RTV media at times was insulting.Gerrard handled some media duties pretty poorly in his time here. Generally it was all good, but he let himself down a couple of times snapping at reporters for no real reason.
No Manager makes it to the top by just being a 'nice guy'. You've got to have an edge to you.The nice guy persona quickly gets fucked out the window when his team is floundering.
Summed up perfectly mate.The reporter's an idiot.
Klopp's a dick.

Agreed but they’ll more and likely just be banned from future press conferences or not be allowed to ask a question in the future.i would love to see a reporter go back at a manager! I think you get more respect if you stick up for yourself. Everyone just shits themselves if it’s a manager with an “edge”
It probably has more to do with who he is up against, Pep, and the fact hes beaten City in the past, than what he actually said in that interview cos there wasnt anything to get upset about.IIs it that good old British mentality of 'we enjoyed you til you had your success, but that's quite enough now and we're going to tear you down'?
