It would seem that Joel Matip may have been guilty of taking things too lightly in Diogo Jota’s eyes during Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at the start of the week.
Footage shared on Twitter by @lfcnxco (courtesy of Sky Sports) appeared to show the Portuguese international telling his teammate to ‘shut up’ after the grinning Cameroonian muttered something to the forward – though it’s not 100% clear that this was the message conveyed to the defender.
It’s highly possible that a mountain has been made out of a molehill from the short clip in question, especially given the sound level of squad harmony that Jurgen Klopp has fostered at the club.
