West Ham United boss David Moyes has a message to one man at Liverpool after the two sides settled for a 2-2 draw at the London Stadium today.
Both teams went into the game this afternoon after disappointing results in their previous fixture.
Liverpool‘s title hopes took a hit when they lost to Everton midweek, while West Ham United suffered a really disappointing 5-2 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace.
Moyes and Jurgen Klopp both demanded a reaction from their players, and after over 90 minutes of football, the two sides couldn’t be separated.
After the game, Moyes sent a message to one man at Liverpool.
David Moyes tells Jurgen Klopp to ‘hurry up and get away’ after West Ham 2-2 Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp‘s final season as Liverpool’s manager is not going to plan, is it?
Just over a month go, Reds fans were dreaming about winning the quadruple. Many people believed they could do it and achieve a fairytale ending for their manager.
However, after crashing out of the FA Cup and the Europa League, Liverpool’s poor form has all but ended their Premier League title dreams as well.
That, however, doesn’t change the fact that Klopp is an absolute legend at Liverpool.
He deserves all the praise that he gets, and David Moyes, who has suffered quite a few painful defeats against the German, has jokingly claimed that he is delighted to see the back of him.
He went as far as urging Klopp to ‘hurry up and get away’ – this, obviously, was tongue-in-cheek.
He said, as per the Evening Standard: “I’ll be glad he’s gone. He’s f—–n too big, his teeth are too bright. I hate saying it because I’ve worked against him in the other clubs that are probably their biggest rivals, but I think he’s been immense for Liverpool. He really has been.
“I think he’s the daddy there, I really do. He’s been able to control a big football club, which is not an easy thing to do at times. I am glad to see the back of him, I’ve got to say. But the Premier League brings in lots of managers from different places.
“Some come and go very quickly. Some can last the course — Jose Mourinho, Sir Alex [Ferguson], Pep [Guardiola], Arsene [Wenger], obviously Jurgen — others can’t last that course. I have to say Jurgen has been really good for Liverpool.”
Then, pretending to speak directly to Klopp, Moyes said: “Hurry up and get away; I’ll be pleased to see you move on. To manage a club like Liverpool you have to be very good, and he’s very good at his job.”
A sour end to Jurgen Klopp’s era at Liverpool
Liverpool fans will adore Jurgen Klopp for years and rightly so.
The German took charge of the club when they were really struggling, and the job he has done over the years is nothing short of extraordinary.
If there wasn’t a superpower like Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City over the years, Liverpool would’ve surely become the most feared side in the country.
Sadly, Klopp’s final few months at the club, apart from the Carabao Cup win, hasn’t been great.
To make it worse, Klopp was today involved in a spat on the touchline with Mohamed Salah, who he has shared a tremendous relationship with over the years.
It’s really turning out to be a sour end to what has been a wonderful spell at Liverpool, which is such a shame.
