Jurgen Klopp's Interview With Geoff Shreeves Following Liverpool 1-4 Man City Was Incredibly Awkward

Jurgen Klopp and Geoff Shreeves were involved in yet another frosty exchange following Liverpool's 4-1 defeat to Manchester City.

Klopp spoke to Sky Sports reporter Shreeves prior to Sunday's clash and when asked if Liverpool could still win the title, he snapped back about Shreeves' broadcasting quality.

The duo came across one another again at full-time and things almost turned bitter live on-air.

Reds boss Klopp begins with: "When you lose 4-1, it's not our day, but in big parts of the game we played a brilliant game, we played really good football."

Shreeves is off camera during the chat and Klopp snapped back: "I can see in your eyes you think differently."

He replied: "I'm not saying differently. I was listening intently to you."

Klopp continued: "Ah, ok. I really liked it and in the first half we played really good football.

"Against City it doesn't mean you are 2-0 or 3-0 up it only means you're in the game. I'm not sure what the possession was but it was for sure not what it's like usually for City.

"Start of the second half, City changed their system slightly to a 4-4-2. It's a little adaptation in the end but in that start of the second half we didn't give enough options to play and gave the first goal away.

"They scored that goal, we scored the equaliser, which in that moment it looked like the game could now go in our direction. We looked really good again."

Goalkeeper Alisson made two errors to let City take a 3-1 lead before Phil Foden scored a sublime fourth to give City an emphatic win.

"We make two massive mistakes, that's clear. Everybody saw them, they used them. 3-1 down in a game like this is really tough to take and then [Phil] Foden with a genius situation where he scores the fourth goal.

"The performance was good most of the time. Really, really good, on a high level. If we'd played more often like tonight, we would not be 10 points behind City.

"The goals, we made massive mistakes. Against each team it is a problem, against City it's a killer. And that's why we lost the game."
