‘You don’t understand’: Klopp puts ‘ignorant’ TV host on blast after innocent joke
Jurgen Klopp blasted an “ignorant” television presenter for making a joke about Liverpool’s next game after Wednesday’s 2-0 win at Sheffield United being on a Saturday lunchtime.
Klopp was furious when Amazon Prime Video presenter Marcus Buckland mentioned to the Liverpool boss that his team were next in action against Crystal Palace in the early kick-off on Saturday.

The German was speaking in a post-match pitchside interview following Liverpool’s 2-0 success against United in the Premier League on Wednesday.
Goals from Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai at Bramall Lane moved Liverpool within two points of leaders Arsenal.
But Klopp’s mood soured when Buckland joked about Liverpool being back in action in the manager’s “favourite kick-off time” against Crystal Palace for the 1230 GMT kick-off.
Klopp has previously complained about Liverpool playing early on Saturdays after Wednesday evening fixtures.
Interrupting Buckland, he said: “That’s really brave to make a joke about that.
“We go home, I don’t know exactly what time we will get home, we will arrive, maybe 1am or 2am tonight and then play again. We have two sessions.
“It is fine to recover and then we go again. Crystal Palace play tonight as well so it is really fine.
