Michail Antonio was shocked to hear what Jurgen Klopp was asked by one journalist after Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Everton on Saturday.

Speaking on the Footballer’s Football Podcast, the West Ham star was stunned that the Anfield boss was asked if Everton felt the game should be replayed, with the refereeing from the game under the spotlight.

Ashley Young was sent off for two yellow cards as Ibrahima Konate was lucky to stay on the pitch as Liverpool converted a second-half penalty that set them on their way to a win against Everton.

And Antonio was shocked to hear what Klopp had to put up with after the match, with the Liverpool boss enduring a rough press conference in front of reporters.

The Jamaica international said: “One of the journalists asked Klopp a question and he went: ‘Do you feel Everton deserve a replay? Klopp has just gone: ‘Are you kidding me?’

“Mate, some of these journalists are brazen! I don’t even get how. The cheek! Like they can come here and ask these questions, it’s absolutely mad.”

Klopp had every right to be mad at stupid Liverpool – Everton question

Klopp is no stranger to weird and whacky questions from the football media, yet this weekend’s antics might just take the cake for the Liverpool manager.

Whilst a good case can be made that Everton were hard done in by the referee, talk of a replay is simply ridiculous, especially when compared to what Liverpool have already been through this season.

Indeed, Klopp did well not to tear too much into the journalist in question, and the Liverpool boss will be now focused on Thursday’s European clash against Toulouse.
