Dietmar Hamann claims he "didn't really understand" why Jurgen Klopp took issue with his comments on Liverpool's predicament.
The Reds boss was quizzed on comments made by the German - who previously played at Anfield, helping them win the Champions League in 2005 - and reacted angrily. It came before Liverpool hit seven past Rangers to all but ensure they will qualify for the knockout stages in Europe.
The positive result came despite Liverpool struggling for form as they continue to cop criticism. They are already 14 points off the pace in the Premier League, having won just two of their eight games so far. They look a shadow of the team who had hopes of landing the quadruple last term, and Hamann believes Klopp needs to respect outside opinions.
