Steven Gerrard reacts to Jurgen Klopp's "really off-putting" Liverpool tactic

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard admitted he would "love to get stuck right in" against Chelsea when asked to comment on Jurgen Klopp's "really off-putting" pre-game tactic.

Reds manager Klopp has made a habit over the years of standing on the touchline and staring at the opposition team warming up before matches, rather than observing his own side completing drills.

It was Glenn Murray who first brought attention to it back in 2020 when he was at Brighton. "Klopp does this thing before the game, I don't know if anyone's noticed it. So he'll walk right up to the halfway line and stand right on the spot and he'll just stare into the opposition half. It's really off-putting," the now-retired striker explained to TalkSport.
