Klopp says owners want solution to Liverpool ticket row
“I hope we can get the job finished on Tuesday night”, he told the club’s official site.
“I can’t win the game with my emotions outside, I know this, so I can handle it no worries”.
Manager Jurgen Klopp, who was not present at the stadium himself due to a case of appendicitis, was obviously not too happy with this, but said that the matter was much too delicate for a one-sided comment.
“If we can get past Liverpool, we would fancy ourselves again if we play Blackburn to progress even further in the competition”. I’m sure Liverpool are sensible enough to make this not a big issue and to listen to the fans. Fans have meanwhile threatened more walkouts in looming key games against Chelsea and Manchester City. I spoke to all my coaches and what I heard before (he saw it) was what I saw afterwards.
On Saturday, a significant number of Liverpool supporters – some reports suggested as many as 10,000 – staged a 77th-minute walk out of the home match with Sunderland in protest at next season’s ticket prices.
Klopp demonstrated his empathy with fans, saying that it was easy to understand the circumstances surrounding 10,000 spectators vacating their seats in the symbolic 77th minute of Liverpool’s fixture with Sunderland on Saturday.
Then in the final minute of regular time, Jermain Defoe bobbed up to net his sixth goal in his past six matches when firing home on the turn after receiving a ball from Black Cats new boy Wahbi Khazri.
Philippe Coutinho, Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge are all expected to play some small part after returning to training after their respective injuries last week.
The extremely passionate, zealous fan base made an early exit at the 77?, symbolizing the new £77 ticket price tag. But everything I say about this now will make it more complicated because I have to first of all collect some information but what I know is that everyone in the club has a big interest in finding a solution.
The Sky Sports pundit said the walkout “wasn’t a nice experience”, but believes it had an effect on the club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group.
