It was an interesting move.
Now imagine that had been Chelsea. Jose would have been on the TV scowling and spitting about Pulis and his tactics, moaning about Gardner's tackle, the ref, etc. And everyone would have said what a graceless twat he was and been talking about their failure to beat West Brom. Yet Klopp has done pretty much the same thing but because he did a bit of a stunt with his players, he's comp,etely deflected attention from all the negatives. So opposing fans might take the piss a bit but no one's talking about the real negatives and all the Liverpool fans love him.
- They've just rescued a point with a lucky deflection;
- His home record is worse than Rodgers was in his games in charge this season;
- The euphoria of the wins against us and Chelsea has worn off;
- He's just had a pretty public spat with Pulis;
- He's whinged about West Brom's tactics;
- Skrtel got away with a two-footed lunge of the sort that saw Kompany sent off.
I think plenty are talking about their failure to beat West Brom, and how crap they've been lately. A cringeworthy stunt like that is only going to pull the wool over the eyes for so long. But he's only just arrived and his record affords him the time and respect to overlook such trivia (I suppose).
