Jurgen Klopp — Mourinho has taken a subtle dig at Klopp

Speaking before his side’s replay against Southampton, Mourinho seemed to suggest that Klopp can do what he desires.

“He does what he wants. He does what his board want him to do or allows him to do”

The Portuguese’s tone had a hint of sarcasm which was recognized by a number of Liverpool fans. These fans took to Twitter to express their thoughts on Mourinho’s comments. We take a look at some of them below.

Stupid logic as Klopp has won trophies at every team he's been at. Difference is Mourinho manages proven teams with a high bank account like Chelsea, Madrid, United etc. Klopp manages bad teams and makes them into giants like Dortmund, Mainz and Liverpool.

Didnt Mourinho get a stadium ban once, meaning he had to watch the game on a TV. What's the difference then with Klopp choosing to stay away and let the u23 coach get on with the job with the u23 team.
