Was going to post that same comment. A perfect example of how the game has changed today. Both Konate & Akanji, the slightest of pulls on a shirt or touch of a shoulder and down they go. (Yes very Salah-esque) Personally I thought neither were worthy of yellows and theirefore neither warranted a sending off.Other than wearing the wrong colour shirt, how was the Akanji 2nd yellow and different to the Konate foul?
Both virtually exactly the same foul in almost the same place on the pitch.
So frustrating how inconsistent referees are
Dippers reaping the benefit of the recent whinging. Klopp may have been mocked for his replay demands but their victim playing undoubtedly was a big factor in how the derby was ref'd and arguably got them a win rather than a draw.Other than wearing the wrong colour shirt, how was the Akanji 2nd yellow and different to the Konate foul?

To be honest, much as I dislike Klopp, I though it was a snide and unprofessional question from the hack. Taunting someone just to get a clickbait response is everything that is wrong with the football media. A good reporter would have a more subtle approach. This is why so many football reporters are incapable of actually tracking down proper news stories and one of the reasons why mainstream media is on its last legs.Fucking BRILLANT question.
The look of absolute incredulity on Klopp's face is priceless.

Give it time.Have they claimed Bobby Charlton as one of their own yet?
