Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back as Liverpool’s Premier League season draws to a close and we get one game nearer to the end of the Jurgen Klopp era.

Jurgen himself is clearly sensing the end is in sight, if his press conference ahead of the visit of Spurs was anything to go by. He’s not exactly kept his thoughts to himself these past few years about TNT/BT’s 12:30 Saturday kick-offs, but knowing he’s not got any more of them to face he was happy to really go to town on the broadcaster.

As Jay and Jim point out, he’s saying the kind of things that anyone who really loves the game should be saying about those running it and should be saying once Klopp goes. The boss also had a great line for anyone who says TV should be able to mess teams about, because it’s TV’s money that allows them to have such great players. They’ve got it the wrong way round, said Klopp.

If the assembled journalists at the press conferences were hoping for Klopp to say something about Mo Salah that their editors could turn into sensational headlines, they were to be disappointed. Klopp was never going to be as quick to criticise Mo as he was to criticise TNT, even if he had good reason to. Some Reds fans allowed themselves to be dragged into a battle that wasn’t there between Klopp and Mo but, as Jim and Jay say, what kind of manager and player would LFC have if there was no tension at that stage of a season that had promised so much?

The Reds next game is against the team that benefitted from some of the worst refereeing in living memory in the reverse fixture, Spurs, so bad that PGMOL actually admitted to the errors. PGMOL wouldn’t want anyone to think they were abusing their monopoly by putting out officials unsuited for a fixture, especially not after what happened in the previous meeting, so they have sent a ref from Greater Manchester. As Jay and Jim say, maybe this game will be the one where Klopp gives the PGMOL a special send-off.
