Jurgen Klopp admitted he wouldn’t be going anywhere near TNT Sports following frustrations over fixture congestion.
Pretty fair comments too given that Liverpool have been subjected to the most 12:30pm kick-offs of any Premier League side since the 2017/18 season.
Most Saturday 12:30 kick-offs in the Premier League since 2017-18:
Liverpool – 37
Tottenham – 32
Man City – 30
Liverpool away from home – 27
Chelsea – 27
Man Utd – 27
Everton – 25
Tottenham away from home – 22
Arsenal – 21#LFC— Michael Reid (@michael_reid11) May 3, 2024
TNT were quick to respond with their take on the issue, mocking the German tactician once again over his gripes with early afternoon kick-offs.
We’re sure many will just take this as an example of the great banter in football – but TNT, like most broadcasters, continue to miss the point when it comes to player welfare and the future of English football.
