Gregor Robertson noticed Jurgen Klopp reading the riot act to one Liverpool player over an unflattering moment in the lead-up to Wolves’ goal on Saturday. Although the Reds ultimately prevailed 3-1, they fell behind to an early Hwang Hee-chan strike and were lucky to only be 0 down at half-time, so lethargic was their performance in the opening 45 minutes.
Robertson said: “There are still massive questions about the balance in the midfield for me. They were woeful [before half-time].
“[Klopp] berated Cody Gakpo just before Wolves scored the opening goal. It was a long throw and he threw a leg at it and they broke away and scored the opener.”
That Klopp reacted so angrily over Gakpo in the lead-up to Hwang’s goal illustrates the standards that the manager demands, with any moments of laziness simply not tolerated by the boss.
