Jurgen Klopp talked about referee Paul Tierney.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was booked during their 2-2 draw with Spurs. Reds dropped two points and it hurt them in the points table as Man City are three points ahead of Liverpool before Christmas.

Klopp defended his actions during the clash, which saw Andrew Robertson sent off. Reds boss talked about referee Paul Tierney.

“It is always helpful when you play football yourself. When you see the situation back (Diogo Jota’s penalty appeal), the VAR is there. Why is he stopping? I don’t understand. The draw is fine. We are not crazy enough to think we cannot draw at Tottenham but these situations are crucial.

“I have no idea what his (Paul Tierney) problem is with me.

“I was a bit more emotional in the game but he gives me a yellow card but it is not allowed in a situation like this? He comes over and gives me a yellow card but I’d have preferred the right decisions on the pitch.

“We have our complete midfield out, the best centre half in the world… We lose our captain on matchday so you cannot expect to play the best football game of the season. You have to fight and that’s what the boys did.

“But just an objective ref who sees the situations and judges them. He told me he thinks he stops on purpose. It is incredible. He had the best spot on the pitch and doesn’t give it. You will have to ask him what his problem is with me.”
