Although Arsenal are top of the table, Klopp's low blow shocked the Premier League

Klopp's ironic gesture caused controversy with the Gunners

The Reds have missed another opportunity to pick up points and climb up the table, as if the championship ended today, The Pool would leave empty-handed, without European competitions, drastically losing an important income for the construction of the next season, and that could even lead to a reduction in payroll and even sponsorship.

There is little to celebrate at Anfield, as this season has been terrifying, with elimination from the EFL Cup, the drop in the table and even complications in the FA Cup, where they recently had to play a replay against Wolverhampton. In the last Premier League game, the Reds were held to a goalless draw by Chelsea, and were unable to bring joy to their fans and to the German, who was celebrating 1,000 games as manager.

This figure coincided with former manager Arsene Wegner, who paradoxically also celebrated his 1,000th managerial match against the Blues, but on that occasion, Arsenal were thrashed 6-0, ruining the Frenchman's celebrations. "Arsene Wenger lost his 1000th game 6-0, so I'm very happy," Jürgen Klopp told the press, looking to put a positive spin on Saturday's result at Anfield.

Today things are different, Arsenal are 18 points clear at the top of the table, 18 points behind Liverpool, who have slipped into a serious crisis by failing to win in their last three Premier League games after back-to-back painful defeats to Brentford and Brighton ahead of the game against Chelsea. The Pool must quickly turn the page and plan a strategy to beat the Seagulls in the FA Cup 1/16 Final.

Klopp made a joke about Wenger

At the same conference Klopp joked that he still has enough energy left to stay at Anfield for at least another decade, minimising the current situation and at the same time taking responsibility, giving some breathing space to his players who have been singled out on social media by the club's fans themselves, who hope that once and for all they will wake up and commit to the club to turn the situation around.
