Jamie Carragher explains why Jurgen Klopp didn’t over-celebrate 7-0 win over Man Utd
Jamie Carragher has explained the reason behind Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, not excessively celebrating their remarkable 7-0 triumph against Manchester United at Anfield.
Erik ten Hag’s team suffered a significant defeat against the Reds, with Manchester United conceding a total of 21 goals in their last five league matches against Liverpool.
United have lost more Premier League games against Liverpool than any other team in the league’s history.
However, after the full-time whistle, Jurgen Klopp, the German coach, did not go overboard with his celebrations, which typically involve pumping his fists towards the Kop. Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher has disclosed the reason behind Klopp’s subdued reaction.
Jamie Carragher expressed to Sky Sports that after witnessing Liverpool’s impressive performance, it raises the question of how they have struggled for much of the season.
“When you win by a shock scoreline it almost knocks a bit of the celebration because Manchester United become the story more.
“Klopp didn’t fist pump the Kop as you’d expect because I think of the scoreline and it feels like you’re rubbing it in, in some ways.
“It gives Liverpool a huge fillip in terms of getting in the top four.
“It’s really important that in terms of what they could do in the summer financially and maybe a player they could bring in.
“There’s a lot of talk of Jude Bellingham and lots of clubs going for him.
“I still can’t believe the games Liverpool have lost, the performances they’ve put in, they’ve still got a great chance of making the top four.
“There’s still a long way to go but Liverpool at Bournemouth next week is a game you expect them to win. After that they’ve got a really tough week.
“[Manchester] City, Chelsea, Arsenal determines whether Liverpool make the top four or not.”
