  • Klopp fumed over PL fixture list
  • Went on a rant against TNT Sports over 12:30 pm kick-offs
  • Amnesty chipped in with a hilarious reply to the German
  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    In a passionate rant ahead of Liverpool's clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, Klopp voiced his frustration over the scheduling decisions made by broadcasters. The focus of his ire was the disproportionate number of early kick-offs, particularly the 12.30 pm Saturday slot, which Liverpool have frequently been allocated, despite their mid-week European League commitments.

    WHAT AMNESTY SAID

    Klopp's unconventional call for intervention from Amnesty International to address the fixture congestion dilemma drew an unexpected response from the human rights organisation. Taking to Twitter, Amnesty humorously wrote: "Hi Jurgen, Maybe next year. We're a bit busy at the moment. But, feel free to donate to us in the meantime. Thanks."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Liverpool have seen a slump in their recent domestic form winning just one of their last five Premier League matches. Currently occupying the third position in the league standings with 75 points, Klopp's side trails league leaders Arsenal by five points and second-placed Manchester City by four, with the latter holding a game in hand.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    TNT Sports also took a dig at Klopp, mocking his disdain for early kick-off, with a witty tweet.

    WHAT NEXT?

    While Klopp's concerns highlight the pressing need for a more equitable and balanced fixture schedule, the response from Amnesty International adds a touch of levity to a contentious issue. Nonetheless, with only two league fixtures remaining after the Spurs clash, including an away trip to Aston Villa and a home fixture against Wolves on the final day, Liverpool will be looking to finish their campaign on a perfect note before bidding adieu to the legendary manager.
