Klopp did complain that Liverpool play more early times than other teams!
I am not sure if that’s true or not.
Just googled it and Liverpool have played 45 early kick offs since Klopp took over.
That’s the most in the PL.
So he might just have a point!

Nope, but Klopp DID give a press conference today, so the discussion was instigated by that. Although I also widened it to all managers, at least from clubs at top, as most have a moan at some pointAre Liverpool playing tonight.

klopp really as got you all believing that a 12:30 kick off is SO much harder than a 3pm 
.It’s 2hrs & 30 mins from a 3pm kick off.
Just go to bed earlier or travel down the day before.
Seriously they need to try living in the real world.

In terms of the Saturday 12.30 kick off, I think it is true.
As they've been in Champions League most seasons, makes sense they play that slot a lot, as Sundays are off the table a lot of weeks.
This season, I think they've played the 12.30 slot a few times after International breaks, as they can't play Saturday after Europa League.
A lot of it is probably down to fact TNT Sports generally only had the 12.30 slot this season. So, if they want to ever show Liverpool, that is the slot they need to use.

More recovery time that day
More recovery time before next match
Got a chance to get a win, and put pressure on those around you in the table.
You can almost guarantee if City were playing lots of 12.30 games, and winning, then rival managers would be moaning that City have an unfair advantage

Fun fact given on tonight's 'big match' . Everton have started the game with nine English born players in their line up.
More anti Forest conspiracy just then. Defender stands on McNeil's foot in the penalty area, no penalty

Glad Everton got the penalty. My pet hate of this season is the wrestling at corners.

Clever by Brantwaite to kick his legs in the air to make it look like he'd been lifted off his feet.
A penalty no doubt, but just a bit of extra guile there just in case the ref needed extra incentive.

It’s all about TV times makes perfect sense!
Liverpool have only won 47.6 of early KOs.
His main complaint was after international games with several players crossing the world.
But he does like a good moan it’s part of his job.
Been trying to find out who has had the least early KOs but can’t find it.

We’re not in the CL this season but we have still played five early KOs
Not sure how many City/ Gunners have played.

Nobody mentioned corruption.Nah that makes too much sense,it’s all corruption against Liverpool
This was started by a Man U fan even though we’re not playing tonight and Klopp didn’t have a brolly with him today.

Clever cheating?

Completely agree that it's a penalty and I wish that more were given but the ref may have just made a problem for himself for the rest of this match. Every free kick and corner for the rest of the match there are going to be similar incidents. If he (and VAR) are consistent there could be 7 or 8 penalties in the match.
