For once i think Klopp handled media very well and was very diplomatic.
This should reflect well in future. I think we might win the league. Klopp believes in this team and hence there was no moaning. If this was last year i bet klopp was getting fined and maybe a ban.

For once? You must never watch his press conferences during the week cos I do and frankly, I have no idea how the man keeps his cool with people who ask him the absolyte dumbest of questions just to get some kind of headline. In fact sometimes, he will say something. They will take one part of the quote and create a disingenuous headline whereas all the context from the quote is lost. I propose you watch his pressers a lot more often.

Thats what modern journalism is. Klopp kept it about the team yesterday and didn't sway. It was a great to watch. Normally he traps himself and has a foot in mouth issue. sometimes it creates a negative narrative.
He was all about the team and passion. It was very positive overall and as a fan i felt good despite everything that happened in the game.
He kept it to football and that's just how it should be. Fire and passion on pitch and no bits for the journos to chomp on.
Decisions can go like that. Is it acceptable absolutely not. Can it happen absolutely yes. But decisions should not define our performance and they didn't and Klopp appreciated it wholeheartedly.

Akira, you can want all that to be true while at the same time, demand fairness, transparency and better perfs. from these officials who are being protected while their incompetence is sucking the life out of the game we love.

The problem is oli that there are no good referees left in the english game and guys like webb have over complicated things. Decision making comes with experience and freedom
The novice referees are under immense pressure and they are not allowed freedom by being forced to follow protocols which webb decides and there are so many of them that officials have absolutely no idea on the pitch. Then he decides to release audios and discuss decisions in press. Most referees don't want the unnecessary limelight. Only Mr Webb does. Referees don't want every decision to be checked only webb does.
He wants to rule by iron hand and it clearly isn't working. Every game has woeful decision.
Also technology is so intrusive and fans get so much information its bonkers
The referee are just lambs at the moment.
Game will be fine if we let it go sometimes. Referees need to learn and get it right but there will be no instant solution. The more we press it the more mistakes there will be.
These are not my thoughts btw these come from a friend who is a good official and very objective but has had a couple of blunders this season and he can't do anything because there are protocols. Scared referee won't make right decisions.
