If anyone was still unaware that these are the end of days for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, his riotous performance at Friday's press conference will have given the game away.

"And now we move on to liars..."

It suggests the next few weeks will be appointment viewing when Klopp addresses the media but among the headline-grabbing soundbites and the humorous interactions, there was a searingly honest take on Tottenham Hotspur that suggests Liverpool might finally be able to snap out of their end-of-season malaise this weekend.

With a heavy reference to the reverse fixture at the end of September, when anything that could go wrong did, Klopp said: "I don’t want to make it the biggest subject, but I can't forget the Tottenham as well, it's just a fact.

"It was just strange.

"And now we play Tottenham, and that was obviously was not their fault, they just played the game, but I would like to win that game for 500 reasons, that we lost the way we lost is one of them."

For clarity, it's worth recalling that the 2-1 defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium saw two men controversially sent off in Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota, Joel Matip scored a stoppage-time own goal and, most shockingly, the Reds were on the wrong end of the worst VAR-related gaffe for years - and arguably ever in the Premier League - when Luis Diaz opened the scoring before the Stockley Park mix-up failed to properly communicate that the finish should stand.

Apologies from PGMOL chief Howard Webb, like the one he reached out to give Liverpool in the aftermath, do nothing but inflame the situation further, particularly to supporters who see no ice cut from such gestures.

Months on from the Diaz decision, little has improved and clubs like Nottingham Forest are still being left baffled by some of the calls made against them.

The anger across Liverpool's fanbase and, to be frank, inside the playing staff, took a long time to subside and you can bet the house on the PGMOL breathing a huge sigh of relief that their almighty error won't be what costs Klopp and his team the title itself.

Conventional wisdom for a manager is to insist the past is gone and nothing can be done now but Klopp openly referring to that game earlier this season as additional motivation is a break from tradition and pulled the curtain back further into what the preparation will be for this one.
