Today’s Liverpool news overview features a potential ban for the boss, another midfielder link and all of the reaction from an eventful 4-3 win over Tottenham. Jurgen Klopp could face a ban for his post-match comments about referee Paul Tierney following Liverpool’s 4-3 win over Tottenham at Anfield. The PA news agency have reported that the manager will be investigated by the Football Association after he hinted at bias from Tierney following a series of controversial decisions in matches involving the Reds. Klopp questioned the official after the game, saying that he didn’t know what Tierney “has against us” and accusing him of inappropriate comments when he booked the German late on. The boss was shown a yellow card for celebrating in the face of fourth official John Brooks after Diogo Jota‘s late winner in what was the latest in a series of altercations between Klopp and Tierney. It could leave Liverpool without their manager for a number of games as the Reds look to continue their four-game winning streak to end the campaign on a high.
Liverpool scouts reportedly watched Sporting CP midfielder Manuel Ugarte during the weekend’s game against Famalicao. Ex-Premier League referee Keith Hackett has criticised Klopp’s touchline antics during Sunday’s victory and has called on the Football Association to “throw the book” at the manager. Klopp has told supporters to “stop singing” his song before games are over, suggesting that it should be sung “after the game in the bar” instead.
