Roy Keane reflects on his unexpected run-in with Jurgen Klopp. (Credit: Sky Sports)[/caption]
"Very sensitive, isn't he?" Keane remarked as Klopp headed on his way. "Jesus, imagine if he'd lost!"
Paddy McKenna noted that Klopp, in recent months, has used his post-match interviews to get his teams going. He had a go at Sky Sports reporter Geoff Shreeves, in July, when Liverpool - already confirmed as league champions - lost 4-0 to Manchester City.
"First he came for Shreeves and I did not speak out," remarked McKenna. "But now he's gone for the big dog. He was warming up with Shreeves but then he thought, 'Right, I've got to pick the biggest fecker in the schoolyard and I'm gonna hit him as hard as I can'."While Nooruddean Choudry likened the spat to the WWE but Pinder, who professes not to be a fan of the former United and Ireland captain, felt Klopp played the situation perfectly.
"Klopp must have mis-heard him as I don't think Roy Keane criticised Liverpool too much. If he said the word sloppy it was probably in terms of Andy Robertson missing the overlap for Alexandre Lacazette's goal. "There was probably a bit of confusion there, but I really did enjoy Keane absolutely sh*tting his pants when someone tougher than him challenged him on something. I think Keane walks the walks, but I don't think he's as hard as he thinks he is. I very much enjoyed him back-tracking when Klopp was like, are you calling my boys sloppy? "Keane was like, 'No, no, no. I'd never do that Jurgen'."For his part, and in his defence, Keane must have been taken aback from the initial Klopp spiel. Here he was praising the character and class on Liverpool, a side he had many bitter battles with during his playing days, and their boss was calling him out for something he took up the wrong way. After being almost stunned into silence, Keane did rally, state his case and Klopp agreed to go watch the full piece of analysis. However it ended up playing out on Monday, most of us that were watching cannot wait until the next instalment.
