What's the big ponce worried about, he's said it himself

"In a lot of moments, we played a brilliant game without scoring. In all the other moments, we had to fight incredibly hard. We won it and nobody got injured."

Thought his comments were reasonable. He is the manager of the opposition after all and he’s got to be seen to be sticking up for his players’ interests.
And some of the petty personal abuse is a bit pathetic.

Jermaine Jenas called him out on 5live on the way home too. Said he’d have to watch the game back to find the dirty play he was referring to, because he didn’t see any, and that generally refereeing decisions have been much better this season after the game had lost its way over the last few years. Also said it’s a shame that Klopp, as one of the key figures in the game, isn’t lauding those improvements. Don’t always agree with Jenas but he was spot on

He has had it in for us since Ben Mee, I think, fairly tackled Gomez but he unfortunately broke his leg.

As has been mentioned teams like Burnley shouldn't be on the same pitch as his pampered "superstars".

So, are you intimating that he wants to see 'tackling omitted from the game? If you are then there's little else to discuss. If you aren't then please inform us all of how 'his players' interests were threatened in a game of no bookings( very unusual in this day and age). I think there was more 'going on' between the rival benches in the 2nd half. That's what gets under Klopp's sensitive skin and unfortunately the modern day interviews are designed to massage his already inflated ego. A home win, 6 points out of 6, no bookings, no injuries and a full house is just never going to be enough for the greedy German.

chekhov · Post by **chekhov** » Sat Aug 21, 2021 7:51 pm

Well, I guess he thought his players were getting treated roughly otherwise he wouldn’t have said anything. But really it’s not worth making a fuss over. These heat of the moment interviews probably not the best opportunity to get reasoned level-headed comments.
And I’m sure if Klopp was our manager we’d love him and be hanging onto his every utterance as if they were golden nuggets.

No, it isn't.How do you arrive at that conclusion? Whatever Klopp and Dyche say in interviews have no relation to each other.

I think Klopp has never gotten over mee’s tackle on Gomez a few years ago.

But I remember like 2 weeks after that some Liverpool player ended a season of an opponent in. CL match with a hard tackle….

Yes when the likes of O'Neil, Harris, Hunter, Fisher Mcgrath (John), Case, played. Wonder what Klopp would have made if that lot? Ale house footballers some of them according to one of Klopps illustrious predecessors

I'm loving "the big match revisited" series on itv4. I've still not seen Burnley play, but they've had about two teams-worth of ex-players.
This week there was a Chelsea v wolves match from div 2. One sequence showed an incident with high studs, overreaction, a Chelsea player running in and grabbing someone by the throat. I made it a yellow for wolves, 3 x reds for Chelsea by today's standards. 1977 decision? No cards. Free kick wolves and get on with it.

Let’s not forget, Klopp has whinged and moaned about everything from:

Strong wind
Long grass
Dry grass
Sore throats

He’s a perfect representative of his insufferable supporters. Liverpool supporters are taking the **** today and boiling my blood. Instead of focusing on their win all I’m hearing is about our brand of football and how much they hate The Boss and how they hope we get relegated.

Cheshireclaret · Post by **Cheshireclaret** » Sat Aug 21, 2021 10:44 pm

This is complete and utter nonsense. This was a game where we could (perhaps should) ha e had a penalty, and where JBG was borderline assaulted rather than just checked approaching their 18 yard box in the 1st half.

To add to this, there were no yellow cards (as far as I’m aware), no players went off injured or stayed down for long (excepting Tarky and JBG) and there were no flash points.

It was a proper game of football. I’d wager VVD and Matip enjoyed the fact they came out on top today and walking back to our car afterwards, I didn’t hear a single Scouser echoing Klipperty’s views at all. More that we played well, we defended well (who knew defending was also part of football) and that we are a very good team that will be fine this season.

His comments were at best a rallying cry to the fans who were terrible, at worst a speech written in the months between the game last season when we beat them 1-0 and he was going to say that today no matter what. Dyche has his number off the pitch. It’s nice that he's had it on it as well - and in summary, I thought we played very well today, and more than matched them but the gulf in quality showed. Twice.

UTC!

It's like Scottish independence. Why do people take such offence at it when all they really want is rid of them once and for all.

Absolutely bang on, on both counts.
Klopp’s comments sum up “the big six” …it’s an inconvenience playing teams that put up a fight (but play fair!).
Sky couldn’t wait to tell us how bad the European Super League was because its in their interest.
For me, let them take the money, their plastic fans and the annoying kick off times.

I bet Mike Dean, if he was allowed to comment, would say it's as easy a game as he's had for years and there were no incidents of note at all. I'm struggling to find incidents where even the most book-friendly of referees could find someone to book.

Maybe Klopp had believed all the "Burnley are thugs" hype and had recorded his press conference before the match? Or had learned his lines and didn't want to change them?

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Sun Aug 22, 2021 12:28 am

MOTD commentators called him out - said it was all gamesmanship for the Chelsea game.

And also that Matip/VVD weren’t complaining & enjoyed the contest.

Quite funny, really.

Suratclaret · Post by **Suratclaret** » Sun Aug 22, 2021 3:42 am

Wonder what he would have thought of Chopper Harris, Norman Hunter, Dave McKay or even Liverpools own Tommy Smith.
Comfortable victory, clean sheet, full house and no injuries - what more does Herr Klopp want.

Jim Beglin was calling JBG a cheat for most of the game. Every time he tackled someone, he’d say if that was the other way round, he’d be rolling on the floor.

Beglin is not very insightful or interesting but he is right about JBG’s play-acting.

Perhaps Klopp is trying to soften the Liverpool fans for a rejoin of the ESL? If that is so, I hope that the EFL does not allow them to compete domestically.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sun Aug 22, 2021 8:26 am

Only wrestling type move was when JBG did a little bear hug on someone and lifted them out of the way.

I think that may have stuck in Jurgens mind, but also there will be an eye on Liverpool's next opponent or also the next time Dean referees them, to get some decisions
.
It was a very easy game to referee, and with hardly any incidents at all.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sun Aug 22, 2021 9:09 am

He has history, I can't forget the whinging about Ben's superb tackle of Gomes. You can understand he wants to protect his players, but he's blinkered if he thinks we are dirty. Maybe he wants to play tag football

SouthLondonexile · Post by **SouthLondonexile** » Sun Aug 22, 2021 9:26 am

It reminds me of the time I played Badminton against one of the better players in the club, who was one of the big six.
I hit his returns with such force he fluffed his shots. He grew more and more angry as my score rose.
He didn’t play against me again, his embarassment compounded by the fact I was from a different class.
The parallel with Klopp and his feelings about Burnley are the same as my badminton experience.

JarrowClaret · Post by **JarrowClaret** » Sun Aug 22, 2021 10:44 am

Why do people care what opposing managers think he has to give a view and to find something to say, just ignore and move on. I listen too but ignore all Managers comments well I at least take them with a pinch of salt, including Dyches.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sun Aug 22, 2021 7:35 pm

Ole Gunnar Solskear was just complaining about the foul on Fernandez before the Saints goal, saying it was taking the game backwards. This led the pundits (Souness, Campbell and Keane) to discuss Klopp’s comments about Burnley yesterday. All of them said Klopp was wrong and Burnley’s style of play is the only way for smaller clubs to play against the top six, Souness saying that’s why the PL is the best league in the world.

Klopp probably had in mind that minutes prior to his interview, he was a Ben Mee header and Ashley Barnes finish away from talking about a draw.

With that in mind, he has to throw in a grenade to distract from the fact that his side didn’t totally demolish us, Citeh style.

Standard manager behaviour, say something mental to distract from your team.

Nothing to see here.

And the same tactics repeated by Solkjaer today. All to distract from a less than overwhelming performance from two really good teams against two not so good teams.

One thing that struck me even more than usual was how quiet Anfield (or any big clubs ground) is when its a "normal" premier league match
