Jurgen Klopp has made his feelings clear about Arne Slot’s “criminal” first game at Liverpool

“I would love to be part of that meeting when someone says, ‘Liverpool 12.30’ and the whole room bursts into laughter. I had a discussion just the other day with colleagues at our favorite TV station, which I will definitely not do. Watch again, TNT.”

Klopp concluded that his view was nothing more than “a bit of advice from an old man on his way out”. He added that asking Liverpool to play “Thursday, Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday, 12.30pm is murder”.

Slot has been announced as Klopp’s replacement this summer after the German announced he would quit in January. The Dutchman officially became boss on June 1.
