Liverpool fans slate Jurgen Klopp on Twitter after post-match comments about West Bromwich Albion.
Liverpool suffered a late collapse in this afternoon’s 2-2 draw at West Bromwich Albion.
Jurgen Klopp’s side were cruising toward a simple three points at The Hawthorns after goals in both halves from Danny Ings and Mo Salah.
West Brom, who were nine points adrift of safety before kickoff and rooted to the foot of the Premier League table, halved the deficit through Jake Livermore on 79 minutes, before Salomon Rondon grabbed an 88th-minute equaliser to infuriate the German manager.
Speaking to Sky Sports afterwards, Klopp said: “I was not happy with the pitch, you can imagine that. It was a difficult game, especially after the pitch got drier and drier,” he said. “West Brom obviously decided not to water the pitch in half-time again. And it was quite difficult.
“And they can do it next year, playing football with a dry pitch in the Championship. So that is how it is and we have to deal with it.”
Plenty of Liverpool fans on Twitter saw the funny side of what appeared to be something of a cheap shot from Klopp, but many more have accused the former Borussia Dortmund coach of lacking class and respect for West Brom.
