Jurgen Klopp on…

‘Yellow Wall’ or The Kop? Most dangerous player in the Premier League? How did he get into coaching? We look back on the best bits from Jurgen Klopp’s Monday Night Football appearance…

The Liverpool manager joined Jamie Carragher in the MNF studio prior to Burnley’s victory over Watford at Turf Moor.

Here’s what he had to say…

How does the Kop compare to Dortmund’s ‘Yellow Wall’?

“It’s different. I can say it is nothing compared to the Yellow Wall because 27,000 people are standing there, which is quite impressive. We have a new stand in Liverpool which is 22,000 sitting and I’ve never seen something like this so it is also quite impressive, but the Kop created the best half an hour I have had in football.

“It was the last half an hour against Dortmund. I’ve had a lot of nights where the atmosphere is brilliant and amazing, but this half an hour was the best. Hopefully not the best I will ever have, but up until now, it was outstanding.

Who is the most dangerous player in the Premier League (excluding Liverpool)?

“I like David Silva. I don’t know if you would say he was dangerous but he is a wonderful player. He’s everywhere and so skilled and he has such a good attitude.

“There are a few good players around but I’m actually not that interested in the players of other teams. They are all dangerous when you let them be dangerous.”

On former players turning to punditry rather than coaching…

“I have no problem with this. I’m here for the first time and I see you’re already working on it. I only don’t like when people don’t think before they speak.

“I’m far away from being the ‘wise person’ in football, so I listen to a lot of people. As long as you are really involved mentally, that you really care about what happens, then it’s all good. 

“If you only sit back and say ‘they should have done more, they should have done better, why didn’t they score this goal?’ Then I have no time to listen because that’s a waste of time for me.”

Is the Premier League the most competitive in the world?

“It is very competitive, as always, …
