140 TalkSPORT’s Andy Goldstein has slammed Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp for his reaction to a question after their win at Bramall Lane this week.
The German is absolutely adored by Reds fans, and rightly so. He has revolutionised the club over the years, but supporters of rival teams and many in the media have taken issue with how he spoke to Amazon presenter Marcus Buckland after Liverpool‘s game against Sheffield United.
TalkSPORT’s Andy Goldstein hits out at Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has always disliked playing at lunchtime on Saturdays, especially after a midweek game or the international break.
The Reds, for whatever reason, have been forced to play at that time a lot more than any other club in the Premier League, and Klopp has every reason to be upset.
Liverpool’s next game is against Crystal Palace this Saturday, and that is again scheduled to kick off at 12:30.
As a joke, Marcus Buckland said to Klopp on Amazon Prime Sport after the game: “You go to Crystal Palace at your favourite kick-off time at the weekend.”
The Liverpool boss did not find that funny and was far from impressed. “That’s brave. That’s really brave, you made a joke about that,” he said.
Speaking about Klopp’s reaction, Andy Goldstein said on talkSPORT: “He let himself down.
“I thought the way he spoke to Marcus Buckland was a little bit embarrassing. You don’t have a pop at a presenter. You’re on live TV, you’re going to make a presenter incredibly small?”
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has every reason to be annoyed
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has made his feelings known on the 12:30 kickoffs time and again because those early games increase the risk of injuries.
Only this week, Klopp confirmed that Joel Matip has suffered a serious knee injury, while in the game against Sheffield United, Alexis Mac Allister hurt himself.
The last comment Klopp would’ve wanted to hear was a joke about the fixture congestion, and you can’t really blame him for reacting the way that he did, can you?
Yes, he could’ve just laughed and let it go, but he had every right to be annoyed – with the joke as well as the fixture list.
