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.
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.
Im afraid you’re in a minority of 1 if you think that people don’t want to see interviewers engage with their subject, respond actively to the comments they are making and challenge their opinion where appropriate.
Klopp didn’t expect the interviewer to answer him back with very factual answers. I don’t think Klopp came out of that looking great
Hey youHe’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
SAF was the same, as for Klopp, a brilliant manager.Klopp really is a salty prick at times!
Kelly is an experienced journalist and in my experience he has always known what he was talking about. His column in the Mail was always worth a read plus the fact he used to be with Carol Vordeman probably gives him a bit of an advantage when it comes to debating with EPL managers etc.
Absolute f88king bollocks.Interviewer is an idiot. Unprofessional.
Every top manager carries this characteristic - especially after dropped points.He’s a right moaner. They’ll still have a decent season this year, start rubbish next year after no rest from the Euros and he’ll quit citing a ‘career break’.
This is the reason I really hope it doesn’t get pushed through but they tend to get their own way eventually. They’ve already got enough advantages how many do they really need.can 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
They were at home on Wednesday night so not as if they've had a lot of travelling to do before going to Brighton. What does an extra 2 and a half hours do for them if they kick off at 3? There's been far too many games recently but everyone is on the same boat it just smacks of deflection cause they dropped points today and got beat by Atalanta on Wednesday.Having Liverpool in the early kick-off slot does seem a bit needless when there's no 3 pm 'blackout' to worry about and all the games are being spread out for TV. It's also a UEFA problem for having them playing on Tuesday, which obviously rules out playing tomorrow. Ultimately the cash being thrown at them from both competitions allows them to recruit quality in depth and have decent travel and accommodation arrangements for the players.
Big Presbyterian, is our Jürgen.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.
He is but it won’t stop those with an agenda rabbiting on pish about Liverpool being poets.Big Presbyterian, is our Jürgen.
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.

Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and the Manchester giants were frustrated last month when they were outvoted as clubs agreed to revert to three subs for the new season.

That was the second vote they had on it. It wasn't a 14/6 split.When was this?

He constantly interrupted Klopp for a start. I agree with the interviewers point that it’s not going to change anything whining on TV about it, but I do also sympathise with Klopp if the PL aren’t taking a position against the broadcaster about it.I may well be wrong of course but I genuinely can’t see what the interviewer did wrong?
"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?
I haven't watched the interview but I agree with his general point. TV will ultimately kill the thing they profess to love.
Well said.Total hypocrisy from Klopp.
With the 5 subs thing, he says they want the 5 subs purely so that he can replace fatigued players. As though at 1-0 down in the 80th minute he wouldn't use it to chuck on a (multi-million pound) striker for a defender as his final sub.
Same with the kick-off time. BT schedule games at a time that makes most commercial sense, and pick the games for the same reason. If Klopp wants the broadcaster to make changes, I assume he's fine for it to reduce the amount it pays? No, of course he's not.
Football likes to be seen as a special case but the truth is, as an industry, those within it are generally every bit as self-serving as anyone else.
And the snide "congratulations" along with his sarcastic applause of the officials is the behaviour of an absolute twat.
Jose is funny with it, I find Klopp cringeySaid this for years mate. There was an incident with him and a fourth official in Bundesliga which was ridiculous too.
At least Jose doesn’t hide the fact he wants to be a total C*nt
Since the gaffer arrived. Before that they were all Chelsea fansI know a lot of people in here are Liverpool fans but I think Klopp is a massive wanker
I’m actually pretty neutral in the EPL, like Spurs, City and any other teams who rack me up FF points but I can honestly sit and watch a game and not be arsed who wins and just enjoy a game of football but the way Klopp behaves (and Robertson for his outburst at the ref recently) really puts me off Liverpool. Plus I’ve a few pals that are all of a sudden Liverpool fans since May 2018 for some reason.Since the gaffer arrived. Before that they were all Chelsea fans
He's only spent a little over £500million on transfer fees since he took charge of Liverpool. How on earth can anyone expect him to have built a squad capable of playing a little over three months of football with such a pittance.I’m assuming Klopp has never complained about the salaries and transfer fees the TV money allows him to spend on his team?
