This Jurgen Klopp post match interview after Brighton game saw the Liverpool gaffer get into a bit of argument with interviewer Des Kelly. Klopp is upset with having to play on Saturday afternoon (12.30) after a European game on Wednesday evening and talks about the injury to James Milner, the five sub rule and the struggles of picking a team due to the congested schedule. Adds that he would have taken off Andy Robertson in this game if the five-sub rule was allowed in order to ensure player safety. At times Klopp appears a tad sarcastic to Kelly (alluding to the fact that Liverpool were picked for the 12.30 slot), who says that the manager’s anger, while justified, should be directed elsewhere.
