Jurgen Klopp throws shade at Jose Mourinho and Liverpool fans are loving it

Klopp is a savage.

Kyle Picknell

A level of pettiness we can only hope to achieve. Outstanding.

What a glorious day this is, waking up the news that Jurgen Klopp has a brand new coffee mug – reading “The Normal One” – which he was very deliberately sipping whilst appearing on the Premier League Show with Gabby Logan last night. He’s like the Kermit the Frog meme come to life.

What exactly is he trying to say in this glorious image, I wonder? What is his expression telling us?

“What did I think of Manchester United versus Sevilla? It was a great game. That’s what the Europa League is all about.”

*takes a big fuck-off sip* “Salah cost roughly the same amount as Victor Lindelof? Can somebody check that? He did didn’t he. Yeah, he did.”

“Champions League draw? What Champions League draw? Ohhh. That Champions League Draw. I might try and catch it yeah.”

“Playing for a 0-0 away from home in Europe? *spits out coffee* Hey, Bobby. Bobby! How many away goals did we get at Porto again? Was it four? Five? Five. Yeah it was wasn’t it. And a clean sheet. Good times.” *gently lifts mug to lips*

“Ah, you think playing former Aston Villa wingers at full-back is your ally? You merely adopted the tactic, I was born in it. Moulded by it!”

“Jose, just so you know Dejan Lovren could be available in the summer to help shore up your defence. For the right price, of course.”

“He lives in a hotel? Oh. I live in a big house with my lovely family.”

“I would never count the Charity Shield as a major trophy, but that’s none of my business.”

Liverpool fans, needless to say, were loving it.
