Jurgen Klopp had an unnecessary pop at Arsene Wenger after his side drew with Chelsea at Anfield.
Liverpool and Chelsea remain mid-table after they were both unable to find the back of the net on Saturday afternoon. What once was considered a ‘title-defining’ game has now been reduced to a bland affair lacking any real quality or intent.

Both teams have fallen hard this season and will struggle to catch up to the top four places before the season’s end.
The game was a landmark fixture for Klopp, his 1,000th game and although he didn’t lose he also didn’t win it.
Clearly frustrated with his side’s performance, the Liverpool manager decided to have a go at Arsene Wenger in a bid to take the edge off the result.

Bit insane to me that a manager of his ‘class’ consistently looks to drag other managers into his dark cloud of self pity. Very odd behaviour. #LFC pic.twitter.com/i00bfTD7kl

“First and foremost, before the game I got a lot of messages [about my 1,000th game] and not all of them were nice. I think Arsene Wenger lost his 1,000th game 6-0, so I am really happy that didn’t happen.” he told the media afterwards.
Many felt like this was uncalled for and completely unnecessary.
