Klopp’s sour grapes so sickening
He is often portrayed by himself and others as the joker in the Anfield pack but his comments about last night’s refereeing and his assistants disasters was way out of order.
He accepted – it seems – that the Liverpool goal was offside but then went out of his way to claim that Kevin Friend had tried to balance things up in the second by favouring the Irons.
It’s an argument which has been used a million times before but it’s never true and notably so given events in the dying seconds last night.
The visitors broke through and Divock Origi – clearly two yards offside at best – failed to net perhaps the easiest chance of the night.
If that’s favouring the Hammers then the Liverpool boss needs at the very best to have a serious rethink about his comment which frankly smacks of the absurd.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Klopp said of Kevin Friend’s performance: “There were so many situations where it was 50-50 or 60-40… [he gave a] free-kick for the other team.
As a human being I know if I make a big mistake in the first half I don’t want to open the gap even more.”
Sour grapes and totally unworthy of the bloke.
