The Premier League shudders, and following the victory over Brentford, Klopp delivers scathing criticism.

The critics
After the match, Jürgen Klopp spoke at a press conference and made very strong comments against the Premier League programming: “How can you put the Man City game on at 12.30? These people don’t feel football. There could’ve been a moment when these two teams have 30 int’l players, we pick up the South Americans on one plane to arrive here.”
