Blimey. He was tough there.

[Arl arse]

He treats them with the disdain they deserve.

[Section_31]

Fuck, Klopp looked like he was ready to kill there.

[suzy]

Wonder who that was Klopp was having a go at? He really took against him!

[Special K]

I think it's Darren Lewis from The Mirror

 

Don't know what his original question was though. Anyone?

[jimmycase]

Early on wasnt it that darren dickhead from the mirror he said to stop wobbling his head?

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Thought it was that shit from the Mirror. Put in his place. No mark trying to belittle a world renowned manager by shaking his head. Fucking tit.

Ahh thanks. I think the original question was just asking about Sturridge and Klopp was cross and didn't want to single someone out. Although he answered a similar question from the BBC guy ok! Perhaps he was fed up of that question by then!

[suzy]

Never heard of this Lewis guy so I've just looked at his page and his lead is "Sturridge shows Klopp he's still the main man" and saying he got "strangely tetchy" about Sturridge questions so yes it was that question.

I honestly don't know why the journo is shaking his head after Klopp explained he saw football as a team game. It is a team game. Yes Sturridge scored, but without his team mates he's not keeping hold of the ball for very long, never mind scoring. How is that so hard to understand?

Exactly. Journos try and get soundbites from managers and then when they answer yes or no make headlines out of it, claiming that's what they said.

Klopp is too experienced to fall for this. Sounds like this Mirror bloke has asked idiotic things before and Klopp was wary of him.

[Section_31]

It's clickbait generation journalism. There'll be a particular aspect of the match that fits easily into a sharable story and for the sake of SEO it's probably Sturridge. With the mancs it'll be that Ratchford or Rooney when he's fit. Twitter writes the stories now.

 

It's swings and roundabouts though. Klopp can lament the lack of big game analysis but how many people actually want to read it now?

[Arl arse]

One's a two bit journo, the other is a world class manager. Is right Klopp told the prick not to shake his head, I'd of fuckin smacked his head off the arrogant cunt.

[Arl arse]

Missed this one last week.

Bet Lewis was one of the 3 or so journalists who ran with the Sturridge wanting to leave story a month or so back.

 

You can tell from the very deliberate way Klopp says several times, in a way which can't be misconstrued by anyone watching, that he thinks Sturridge is a brilliant player but in a general sense it's not right to focus on one member of an eleven man team in this way.

 

Plenty enough subtext there to know the way he answered wasn't just about the question asked, but what it is loaded with.

 

Klopp is managing the club, the players and the media very well just now and it's hugely refreshing to see someone so accomplished in charge.

Amen to that, brother

Incidentally, here is that tit's main article on the match and his exchange with Klopp.

 

Strangely defensive indeed.

 

BY DARREN LEWIS

 

Daniel Sturridge issues Jurgen Klopp a timely reminder that he remains Liverpool's main man

 

19:55, 17 APR 2016 UPDATED 19:55, 17 APR 2016 BY DARREN LEWIS

 

Questions continue to surround his Anfield future, but Sturridge is doing his part to prove that the Reds are best served keeping him around

 

Standing his ground: Sturridge impressed on the south coast

 

Jurgen Klopp may not see him as Liverpool’s future, but Daniel Sturridge is refusing to go quietly.

 

In fact, the England striker delivered a timely message to both the German and national coach Roy Hodgson with a virtuoso display.

 

Klopp initially bristled at questions about Sturridge’s man-of-the-match performance. Yet scoring has been a problem for Liverpool since they almost won the title in 2013-14.

 

In Sturridge and Divock Origi, Liverpool again have forwards to inspire optimism.

 

WATCH IN FULL: Klopp gets strangley defensive over questions about Daniel Sturridge

 

On the back of Klopp’s refusal last week to give Sturridge any assurance that he is still Liverpool’s No.1 striker it is all looking very ominous.

 

That said, Sturridge served a warning that any decision to sell him – or not pick him for the Euros – could return to haunt both Klopp and Hodgson.

 

Because on his day there is no better English finisher.

 

Sturridge may have had too few of those days in a Liverpool shirt due to his horrendous luck with injuries, but he is clearly motivated to make up for lost time.

...And plants his header past Artur Boruc

 

Hodgson was at Leicester on Sunday to see Jamie Vardy score his 21st league goal of a sensational campaign.

 

But when he sees the highlights of this match he will know he has a huge conundrum as he tries to decide which strikers to take to France this summer.

 

Vardy, Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck are virtual certainties. It will be a huge surprise if Sturridge does not join them now he is fit and firing.

PLAYER RATINGS: Who was YOUR man of the match?

 

He was among 10 changes – including a Liverpool debut for keeper Danny Ward and Premier League debuts for Conor Randall and Brad Smith.

 

Yet far from feeling slighted, Sturridge showed an impressive attitude from the start. Bournemouth, despite their honest endeavours, simply could not cope.

 

In pictures - Bournemouth 1-2 Liverpool:

What a week this has been for Liverpool. A resounding win last week against Stoke, that epic Europa League victory against Dortmund, the emotion of that final Hillsborough memorial service and now this.

 

Four minutes before the break Sturridge’s back-heel was saved by Artur Boruc and Roberto Firmino pounced, unmarked, at the back post to open the scoring.

 

Sturridge increased the advantage on the stroke of half time when he headed Ibe’s free-kick into the bottom corner.

Just the job: Firmino poaches the opener...

...and he's increasingly coming up trumps

 

He should have made it 3-0 eight minutes after the break when he chipped Boruc from close range. But as Sturridge wheeled away to celebrate - with the Cherries’ keeper completely beaten - the ball hit the post and rebounded to safety.

 

Sturridge tried again with a sublime effort with seven minutes remaining - only to be frustrated once again by the post.

Job done: Sturridge scored one and played a key role in the other - now for Everton?

But Liverpool had established by then that they were by far the superior side - even though Bournemouth should have two penalties. The first was when Lucas handled in the first half under pressure from Josh King.

 

The second was just after the hour when Kolo Toure also handled inside the box.

 

Boss Eddie Howe later expressed frustration at being denied upon both occasions. But he was honest enough to admit that they had been undone by a performance of quality.

 

Should Daniel Sturridge start for Liverpool in the Merseyside derby?

I've heard a few people repeating this line. Seems it's just another inkwaster stirring the shit.

[Dr Nowt]

'Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp warns every player, both present and future, their starting position is never guaranteed and they don't pick the team' was obviously too much text, as I'm sure that guy's motives were just to report exactly what was said faithfully.
