Jordan & Keown BLAST Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp For Vowing To Never Watch TNT Sports Again! 🔥😡 

Keown who works for TNT Sports is offering his unbiased opinion 💀

Yesterday Jordan "i can have my opinions" = Today Jordan "Klopp cant have his opinions"

News Flash! Klopp doesn’t give a F**k about Jordan’s opinion.

Next year everyone will be saying they miss Klopp's honesty..

35 early kick offs compared to the next closest 13. It's a genuine grievance. And the whole league benefit from the foreign broadcasters who want liverpool at that time.

Jurgen is 100% spot on. LFC have been allocated most Sat 12.30pm slots (after a midweek league game or international breaks) this season alone. But lets forget that and dig Klopp out. Dont recall any media or trible fans fall out when Pep raised similar issue post match FA Cup semi ....

Why did Talksport edit out the laugher from the press conference when he mentioned not watching TNT Sports? 🤣

They have both compleatly missed the point. Jurgen wasn't shouting from a position of authority at all. What he said was bang on the nose. Games are increasing and schedules are tightening and the performances are suffering as a result. No one fan can deny that's the truth. No English club in a European final yet we have the most Co afficiant spots highest transfer turnover and the best players. He never once said play a violin he stated facts. Stop squeezing more and more out because the product will suffer and the players are your product

These two would shrivel.up if they ever came face to face with Klopp, he'd literally have them for breakfast, just love how Klopp is laying into the muppets handling football matters

Simon Jordan is the same guy who blasts Mo Salah for calling for humanitarian aid for children by the way

Klopp is right! TV doesn’t make Football GREAT, Football makes GREAT TV. Simon Jordan is a cry baby.

Cant wait to hear what Klopp says about English refs once his contract is up and he cant be fined.

So disingenuous of talkSPORT to focus on this as a Jurgen Klopp problem when Arteta and Pep have both said similar things. And rightly so, the schedule is a joke and greed from broadcasters is the reason

What talkSPORT cut was the fact Klopp mentioned Liverpool has the quickest turnaround in Europe!

If klopp doesnt want to watch TNT then thats his bussiness... What has idiots Jordan and keown hv a say in it. Talksport is such a jokr of a sport show...

Nothing wrong with what Jurgen said. Liverpool have played 37 12.30 kick offs since 2017. That’s almost a full season 😂😂😂. It’s clear the broadcasters only care about their own pockets.

Keown is a mug. If it was Arteta who said this, Keown would be saying that he was onto something and there was an agenda against Arteta and Arsenal if anyone disagreed. Everything Klopp has said about the broadcasters over the years has been spot on and come to fruition. Look at the increasing rate of injuries picked up nowadays and muscle related ones at that. How dumb do you have to be not to see it. We do not need to watch football every day, so organisations need to stop creating more games and broadcasters need to stop putting European competing teams during stupid time slots

If they lifted the stupid 3pm ban on TV broadcasts maybe we wouldnt need so many 12.30 KO.

Hes right football does them a favour not the other way round

Is this the Simon Jordan who was asking why Liverpool is the team that plays the most games at 12:30. If it was fair then Klopp wouldn't of said what he said.

Tbh he’s bang on , Liverpool being picked for that many 12:30s is a disgrace for fans with fixture changes and congestion. Look at Sky sports this year 32 times!! Leeds have been picked. Theyv changed the way there season has played out giving them less time too prepare for games etc.Changing start times at the last minute .The money theyv got out of this season won’t touch the sides.

Keown would also have a different view of that had been Arteta

Klopp is 100% correct Liverpool are given the 1230 sat kick off way, way, WAY more than anyone else. On several occasions some first team players had only returned late the night before, from internationals on long haul flights ie Allison Becker from Brazil, Nunez from Uruguay, Diaz returning from Columbia etc Unfair to force them to play early with jet lag when it’s not equally done to Man City and others

How much a player earns is irrelevant to how they recover for the next game. They're ready, or they aren't.

Thanks Jörgen for always telling what 's on your mind

Liverpool have had more 12.30 kick offs than any other team. That's just statistically accurate. Klopp was talking about it because it's not relevant to him this week, he's talking about something that should change in general. No midweek team should have a 12.30 kickoff. It's not rocketscience

The point EVERYONE is missing is that the average person pays hard earned money to watch their team. They want to watch their players at peak performance. They’re athletes. Poor Scheduling robs the fans of seeing their heroes at their best.

I love Klopps candidness. It's absolutely refreshing.

Jordan creating click bait as always. It was a really fun press conference.

Jordan has gone down “parody” territory the last few weeks ..

Isn’t this to do with sports science, the number of injuries and having a any disadvantage in a competitive field? Most managers speak about this, not just Klopp

These guys are missing the point, he wasnt talking about this week. He was talking about teams having 3 extra CL games next year whilst answering a question on why there will be no English teams in the European finals this year.

NHL players (top pro-hockey league) play 82 regular season games travelling all over North America. Sometimes two in two days. After that, they can play up to 4 playoff series (up to, though not typically, 28 games) of the most intense, physically demanding games you can imagine. I do agree, however, that the league should balance some of the games for teams in the CL knock-out stages.

Simple solution if they feel they're overworked. Ask to be released from your multi- million £££ contract and give up your 100, 200, £300,000 fleet of cars, your multi- million £££ mansion, private jet and go and do a normal job.

The difference between the "broadcasters" and the "players and managers" is that the players and managers would still do what they do for minimum wage. Broadcasters do it only for the profits.

F. Kin get over yourself Simon, glad he spoke out

Why dont man city snd arsenal gey so many early kick offs. Its not even close.

Sky and BT are horrible they don’t even show the game. Constantly playing or showing replays and then miss the next action. The atmosphere at the ground never comes through as it’s diluted out for some reason. The commentators talk over the songs before the game where really the cameras should be soaking up the atmosphere before the game. But they go to close up shots of managers faces right before kick off. Sacrilege! Like footy on tv don’t get me wrong but even goals get missed due to replays and commentators need to know when to shut up.

Jim is such a prick. We all know is that footballers are insanely well paid- that is separate point regarding player welfare. If they don't want to even discuss the possibility of improving the schedules then they should keep their mouths shut when/if qualty becomes an issue

These elite players had been working professionally with huge pressures since the age of 7.

Have you actually seen the stats on Liverpools 12.30pm kick offs, miles ahead of every other club. Liverpool have suffered a lot of injurys. So no doubt its fair for klopp to say, if there wasnt so many games and such quick turn arounds for his team, some of those injuries dont happen. We only have to look to the US who have multi-million dollar sports with massive off seasons, to try and make it as entertaining as possible by reducing injury and fatigue. Sky and TNT are actually biting the hand that feeds them, as eventually the product will get worse if they keep absusing the players.

Klopp can say what he likes now he has no obligation to keep anyone happy

I need to tell my employer that starting at 06.30 is a crime - im sure I will not regret it.

Radio station funded by the Sun slanders anything to do with Liverpool AGAIN…what a surprise

But why do they choose liverpool for 12:30 tine far more than other teams

What about the fans having to pay sky tnt etc.. absolute jokes !!!

Klopp is 100% correct here LFC have too many 1230 matches

Let’s not forget that liverpool have the shortest turnaround in the world

Players are constantly getting injured but the fixture lists keep getting fuller.

It's not the amount of games these players play. As they are not sprinting for 90 mins, it's stop/start/walking and light jogging for the majority of the game. It's the training in between games in my opinion that introduces fatigue.

Playing to many games effects the quality of the games . Fact .

Simon quoting Gary from Men behaving badly 😂 "If theres biscuits in the tin then wheres the point in biscuits"

Everyone complains about the 12.30 kick offs, but its down to the broadcaster as thats the slot they have. Maybe get rid of the ridiculous 3pm blackouts and then you could do away with the 12.30 kick offs

This has got to be the clickbaitiest headline I've ever seen!

Much as this odious channel/station would like to paint Klopp as wrong or out of touch, they have no leg to stand on. If they listen carefully, Klopp is talking about all of English football not just Liverpool, and he is so good at arguing his point that he takes into consideration the counter arguments which are purely financial. No thought is given to the fitness and stamina of footballers, and it hasn't stayed consistent since the inception of the Prem in 93, it has gotten worse, while as Jurgen rightly says the additional European matches will further add to the strain. So knowalls like Jordan can harp on all they like about being financially realistic but Klopp's point was "dont start saying English teams are failing when the reason why is there for all to see". Basically, Klopp is getting as many truthbombs in as he can while someone of his caliber is sitting in the chair. Hopefully Slot will take a leaf out of that same book.

Jurgen is only saying what the other managers want to say but can't.

The reason Klopp complains is the number of early kickoffs Liverpool has compared to the next team. Especially after long travel times.

Best way to make an argument is convolute it….. the issue is not 12:30 kickoff perse -- it’s to have the slots fairly spread across the Prem rather than so much for one team compared to everyone else…. People who don’t see this argument CHOOSE NOT TO

The amount of contradiction from talksport staff is off the scale 👀

Liverpool have a great record in 12:30 kick offs.

So odd, turning a discussion about player injuries to how hard a Dr works is such a false equivalence.

Why don't they remove international football friendlies and give the players that time to rest and recuperate? If player welfare is such an issue, then surely this can help contribute to a solution.

In future might land in a quality issue? can anyone recall a good game that had a 12:30 kick off that was played with any intensity?

This show should discuss the press conference as whole not just sound bites, listen to all Klopp's words to get the right perspective

But it’s ok for Simon to Mo Salah a cheat? Hmmmmmm

3:53 “In 1985, no one died. In 1986, no one died. In 1987, no one died. In 1988, no one died. In 1989, no one died. In 1990, football died. In 1991, no one died. In 1992, there was the incident with Graham Taylor. In 1993, no one died. In 1994, no one died. In 1995, no one died. In 1996... I mean, I could go on.”

Jim white haha!! This is the first time we’ve had a week to train all season yet makes a huge point!

Klopp is right. Jordan and Keown just know where their bread is buttered.

You are missing the point he’s not disputing having a half 12 kick off but what he’s moaning about it’s not even or treated fairly with Liverpool playing the majority of half 12 kick offs it’s not difficult to understand fellas

Personally i think the ideal solution would be to set a Maximum & Minimum limit for appearances/minutes throughout the season for the entire 1st team squad. Perhaps with an emphasis of using the clubs youth players.

It’s not that they can’t play at 12;30. It’s about being able to play somewhere near your professional best. These players are athletes first and footballers second. You cannot expect them to perform at their highest level if playing three games in six weeks. Just look at the amount of injuries this season,not just Liverpool,but most of the top clubs 🤷‍♂️

Simin actually has a point here. the issue here is that the other leagues do a better job of looking after their players.

Liverpool have been arguing for Player cap on wages for years , when the Premier League started it was Santander not SKY

Why would anyone watch tnt or sky if had options of watching on other channels

12.30 slot works well for people like me in Australia who get to follow a game starting at currently 9.30pm which helps me stay up till midnight when the other games start.

I remember back when the Euro competitions moved from knockout to round robin mini leagues, UEFA actually consulted with the PL teams on it given it would mean a lot more games for teams that go further in the competition...the lure of the $ meant that all those clubs were very much up for it. Now down the line they got their money to build world class teams, but complaining about scheduling, clubs sold themselves out to the devil that is TV long ago, just get on with it.

Imagine telling player and managers they have to work Monday to Saturday 6am to 5 pm for minimum wage and even then they couldn't moan still not as hard work then a normal job . It's just the rich wanting more money for less work

it's not all about playing when it suits them, it's an obvious disadvantage if you play more early kickoffs than the other teams. less recovery and worse atmosphere is something that should be shared between all clubs

Ah, the arthritic postman - lets hear him out.

issue is you have a 25 man squad you just need to rotate and get better rotation players with the money in the prem. makes no sense to complain

Grown men, getting paid 100 thousand pounds+ per week are upset that they might have to play some extra or earlier football matches. Simply horrifying first world problems according to Jurgen Klopp

Yes, a 12:30 KO is part of the deal. BUT, just take a look at the imbalance of times Liverpool have been selected for that early kick off v the next club. It's a ridiculous situation.

Klopp is completely right. CL teams should be playing Friday night before Tuesday games, Saturday lunchtime before Wednesday games. People will still watch. It works everywhere else in Europe. TNT would do even better if English teams went further in the competition because they've got the rights to it.

my only argument would be that the quality DOES suffer.

Im a liverpool fan and yeah we do have a lot of 12:30 kick offs but thats because people all over the world want to see us. We dont do enough gamesmanship like fergie used to do and dive for pens and win fouls and pull people back. Thats what we need to start doing. If refs are doing us on var and making us play early kick offs we need to dive for pens and cheat, make it a horrible game to broadcast. Suarez it up bite someone

The English FA and the SFA in Scotland are the only 2 Football Associations that don't help their teams out. La Liga reschedules Real Madrid and Barcelona games for example, when they have a big game coming up in the champions league semis for e.g, and Italy, German, Dutch and French all do the same. So why are we not helping out our teams? Because our teams would win more, and be injured less!

I think what klopp is saying is the schedule is so busy the teams that are competing in the European competitions as well as everything else whereas the other leagues have breaks in their season like Italy etc and as for liverpool having a full weeks rest let's not forget they was in all competitions 4 weeks ago thats what klopp is talking about

"Cash cow", "Golden Goose", "Partnership".....Jeez, Keown is just quoting 'cliche's'. The difference between a footballer and a guy who is educated, articulate and speaks truth.

There is no more football now than 30 years ago. Today, the clubs have bigger squads and better pitches.

Klopp is spot on, he's quite entitled to his opinion and fair play to him for being open and honest about it. Jordan on the other hand, changes with the wind to suit the talkSport topics of the day. They need reaction and ratings.... Enough said! Oh! I've just reacted🤦

Pelople expect excellence on the pitch. It doesn't matter how much money you earn. The body doesn't care if you are a millionaire it can only perform to the level it's at.

2:03 ....IT IS PART OF THE GIG JIM!! but when you look at just liverpools 12.30 slots right after international breaks alone since 2018 they have been given 12 .... where as the next best is tottenham with 5 ...then chelsea and man city with 4 a peice! ... so if all other teams where similar to ours then i don't think you would see Klopp so angry about it!

He can what he likes that's the beauty of living in a country with free speech

12.30 is a horrible time for a footie match in any form, especially for a proper game as every supporter hates it.

Once again they have completely missed the point of what Klopp is talking about!! It’s the clear discrepancies as to how many times Pool have played at 12:30 after Wednesday or international games. These guys have no clue and just waffling on again.

Why did they cut the clip short. They forget important aspect and fact that liverpool FC has had the lowest turn around between games in the whole world

I find the live commentary on TNT patronising, repetitive and missing any excitement or useful info. It doesn't add to the viewing experience and only makes me think, shut up, the football is great and you are ruining it.

You can understand both sides. But it is unfair for Liverpool to play more half 12s than anyone else. This is a Premier League failure rather than TNT not putting them in their place. In the end the PL are creating an unfair environment.

In reality the football fans are the ones that do the whole football industry a favor.

Click bait headline - neither blasted Klopp at all. Klopp can say whatever he likes, with only 3 games to go my guess we will hear a lot more of his opinions in the near future.
