Everyone’s making the same joke about Klopp’s distraction tactics whenever things go wrong

Last week was one to forget for Liverpool Football Club.

After the euphoria of becoming the first English team to beat Manchester City this season, they followed it with a dismal performance at struggling Swansea, losing 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium on Monday night. Returning to Anfield, they were then dumped out of the FA Cup by West Brom, with Alan Pardew’s men claiming an unexpected 3-2 victory on Merseyside on Saturday evening.

Two bad results – the last of which seriously damages Liverpool’s hopes of ending the season with any silverware – have been enough for some to start to question their manager.

While nobody can deny that on their day Jürgen Klopp’s side play some phenomenal attacking football, some remain unconvinced by their defence, despite the recent big money signing of Virgil Van Dijk.

While Klopp has openly admitted the performance of his players has not been adequate in the two defeats, some football fans have jokingly (at least we *think* it’s jokingly) suggested the German boss has rolled out a few onomatopoeic words to help distract journalist from talking and writing about the problems with his team.

Now, to be totally fair to Klopp, he hasn’t done this. Of course he hasn’t. It seems many of those tweeting below remember that time he described Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over City in March 2016 with the word ‘boom’.

Still…

“Jurgen… you’ve now lost to Swansea and West Brom in successive games… how do you explain that…”

Klopp: “errr BOOM”

“Fucking brilliant Jurgen haha, well done”
