I dunno – you try something new, all you get is grief.

Kloppstar Games. 18 league titles.
Safe to say, it didn’t go down all that well with some of Liverpool’s fans on Twitter.
This commenter got straight to the point:

Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp (you know, he of ‘Kloppstar Games’) has been talking up former Liverpool striker Christian Benteke, who left for Palace in the summer:
“What a player. We know him best because we had him all the time in training.
“In all moments he showed his quality in the areas where he’s really strong. He’s not only good at heading but he’s especially good at heading.
“He also has good technical skills. He’s a wonderful player who is now at Crystal Palace.”
Kick off is at 5.30pm.
