Craig Burley, Shaka Hislop and Frank Leboeuf have their say on Jurgen Klopp’s recent run-in with a journalist after Liverpool’s 4-1 defeat vs. Manchester City. Burley says Klopp was rude and rotten and we may be seeing “the real Klopp” come out with Liverpool’s backs against the wall. He continues that Klopp has lacked common decency and says his actions with the press are unacceptable for a manager of his caliber. Hislop thinks if Klopp is acting in such a manner with reporters he must be the same way with his players and could be in danger of losing the dressing room.

This clown got best manager's award ahahaha.
0:32 How can one "deserve" "more than enough plaudits"? Make up your mind, Burley!
I generally don't agree with Klopp's taking full responsibility and refusing to apportion blame to deserving players. I understand why he is doing it externally but hope he isn't being as accommodating of mediocrity and sub-par performances during internal interactions.
My utmost respect to our gaffer for fighting to keep his personal tragedy away from the media. He lost his mother, with whom he had an extremely close relationship, to COVID-19 on January 19 and not even the German press got hold of the story before February 9. Just like Guardiola before him, Klopp could not travel to his home country to say a proper farewell.
I am heartened by the many that put rivalries aside to send Klopp their messages of condolence when the tragic news leaked. Individual and team messages ranging from Raheem Sterling, to Fulham F.C., Manchester United F.C. and F.C. Barcelona. Class acts.
Deepest condolences to the gaffer and his family. YN🔴WA
His mother died in January. Funeral was just recent
They really need to make a follow up video putting his behaviour into context. It wouldn't be right to just leave it as it is
Stfu Craig burley you fcking wanker.
I have no problem with a manager speaking his mind. Much better than most of the managers that put you to sleep.
Yes. Klopp is very into Klopp. All else is beneath him
There may well be personal reasons for Klopp's bad mood, but I share Shaka's concern that he's the same with his players. That wouldn't make for a happy dressing room.
Put some respect on his name ESPN , he literally just lost his mother.
As a matter of respect just shut up about it for a few days and you can go on your Klopp rants next week .
YNWA when we lose
YNWA when we win
YNWA Jurgen 💔🙏
Jurgen’s mum just died and he can’t go home… chill
1-burley was unaware of klopps mother's illness at the time this came out
2-klopp has a history of being tetchy with reporters, journalists, officials going back years when results don't go his way.
Proud Gangbangers come out 😛
idiot reporter
These pundits are all existing to keep creating these click bait headlines. If they're so great and knowledgeable please take up a managerial job rather than just talking and criticizing others. You can say these managers don't help themselves with their antics but it's human beings being human. jk was impulsive and wrong in his behaviour. I just feel he's too easily riled by some journalists who may be just nasty and keen to poke him.
These fools need to apologies too the man after the news this week…
Liverpool fans:-frank lebouf is a best pundit
I think Graig Burley owes klopp an apology the guys not long lost his mother anyone who loses someone close to them can't be expected to do there job at its maximum hes a human being and a very talented one as that 🙂 hes achieved alot more in football than what Burley has in his dreams have some respect man :/
his mother died and he can't even attend the funeral…..but yeah show 'common decency' to journalists who are out to trip you up at every turn for a story.
Craig Burley is the one who's shown his true colours here and his mouth is bigger than his knowledge of…well anything.
The real embarrassing thing is people that criticize people but wouldn't be able to do a fraction of what the people they criticize can do
Now you smug can STFU after his moms news
No his Mum died… ESPN should show some respect and take this down.
ESPN hv some respect for Klopp who is grieving over his mother's death..YNWA Klopp..we will go again next season..
SPOT ON
BETTER THAN STEVIE NICOL RIDICULOUS EXCUSES FOR KLOPP
