Supporters of Everton have been slating Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, after footage of the German emerged on social media.
During Liverpool’s Champions League tie with Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night, footage emerged on social media of Klopp shouting at some supporters to put their hands away after reaching for a high five (via @TheGwladysStreet), which Everton fans reacted to.
Mad that he fist bumped Simone and Madrid players at the end… Even though there’s a massive outbreak in their city.
But wouldn’t his own fans ?

What do you think about the footage of Jurgen Klopp and the supporters?Fair enough, taking reasonable precaution
Out of order, was far too blunt with them

The response from the former Borussia Dortmund manager likely comes after players and staff in the Premier League and EFL have been urged not to shake hands due to the spread of coronavirus (per BBC).
However, despite this likely being Klopp’s primary concern, Everton supporters continued to slam their rival’s German gaffer for his bluntness with the supporters.
Absolute tool.

What do we think?
Although it appeared that Klopp spoke to the two supporters incredibly bluntly, the German manager did have a fair point due to the fears over the spread of the coronavirus (per BBC).
However, that has not stopped Everton fans slating Liverpool’s manager ahead of Monday’s Merseyside derby, as they made their feelings on Klopp’s actions very clear.
