Liverpool have endured a disappointing 2022-23 season to date which has bought the belligerent side of Jurgen Klopp to the fore.
Klopp has a reputation for being jovial and welcoming when everything is going well but, at the same time, the German has experienced his fair share of sense of humour failures when Liverpool haven’t achieved all three points.
We’ve identified seven occasions already this season where Klopp was spikier than a family of hedgehogs.
Winter World Cup
“The second part is definitely no sprint because December 26 is first game I think and until May,” when asked about the nature of the 2022-23 season. “That’s no sprint. I understand the question, but I can’t see a real answer.
“I haven’t heard it yet where someone say ‘it’s a sprint and we have to prepare completely different’ – we didn’t. We prepared like we had to. For 15, 16 games you prepare like you have to prepare.
“If all the players have a break then it’s not a problem, it’s rather good. It’s like a winter break like I had when I played in Germany a lot. Four weeks, winter breaks like this.

“With these things, I was not angry at all before I came in but then we start talking about it I really get angry.”

“A really bad game. How can that happen? The attitude was not right in the beginning. We tried to react after 15 minutes. The pitch was dry, stuff like this. Really difficult.”
“Really bad game, really bad game from us” 😬

Crystal Palace
Klopp became inflamed when asked about the slow start of £85million Darwin Nunez before meeting Crystal Palace under the lights at Anfield.
“Five weeks ago, when we started pre-season and he had his first game and it didn’t look great from the outside world,” Klopp told Soccer Saturday reporter Bianca Westwood. “Not for…
