Jurgen Klopp slammed a TV reporter for showing a lack of respect during an awkward post match interview for making a “joke” about Liverpool’s early kick offs - and fans have panned the German.

The German was speaking on Amazon Prime following the Reds 2-0 win at Sheffield United which moved them to within two points of English Premier League leaders Arsenal.

Next up for Liverpool is a trip to London for a Saturday lunchtime kick off against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Klopp has spoken out before about the need for more consideration over early kick offs.

He hit out last month at the decision to switch the Anfield side’s trip to Manchester City to a 12.30pm kick off after the international break and and said it was made by “people who cannot feel football”.
