Klopp now making ‘strange comments’ at Anfield

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp’s post-match press conference at the weekend was “strange”, journalist Dean Jones has told GIVEMESPORT.

Klopp went on the offensive following Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, even refusing to speak to certain members of the press.

Liverpool manager news – Jurgen Klopp

In Klopp’s post-match press conference after the Wolves loss, the Liverpool manager shunned a question from The Athletic’s James Pearce, citing negative stories he’d written about the club as the reason (This is Anfield).

It comes as Liverpool already find themselves in turmoil, with the club currently sitting 10th in the Premier League.

Liverpool have been knocked out of both domestic cup competitions and face an uphill task to qualify for Europe ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.

A drastic dropoff from the side that played every game available to them last season, winning two trophies and coming within less than two matches of an unprecedented quadruple.

Sky Sports reporter Melissa Reddy recently claimed Liverpool were experiencing a “brain drain”, with various high-profile backroom staff having left the club for pastures new (Sky Sports).

And now, with their on-the-pitch performances beginning to flounder, it appears the pressure is starting to show for Liverpool boss Klopp.

What has Dean Jones said about Klopp?

Speaking in an interview with GMS, journalist Jones questioned the validity of Klopp’s behaviour, suggesting it was unwise to go after journalists.

On the 53-year-old, Jones said: “Some of the quotes he’s coming out with are a bit strange at the moment.

“Some of the people he’s turning on seem strange.

“He turned on one of the Athletic reporters in the last press conference. It doesn’t seem wholly wise to do something like that.”

What next for Liverpool and Klopp?

As if the pressure wasn’t already mounting on Klopp enough as it is, Liverpool’s next match is a crunch Merseyside derby against local rivals Everton.

Interestingly enough, should Everton win at Anfield on Monday night – something they have managed once since 1996 – the Toffees would move to within eight points of Liverpool in the Premier League table.

While the match may be coming at the worst possible time for Liverpool, given they’re yet to win a league match in 2023, the same cannot be said for Everton, who look a rejuvenated side under new boss Sean Dyche.

Masterminding his side to a 1-0 victory over Arsenal last weekend, Dyche will be keen to maintain the ‘new manager bounce’ when he takes his side across Stanley Park to Anfield on Monday.
