Andros Townsend on how Jurgen Klopp has ‘been moaning for years’ and ‘constantly banging on’ before getting his own way | OneFootball

Jurgen Klopp is a passionate and opinionated football manager and that seems to have upset Andros Townsend.

Speaking on talkSPORT (via The Daily Mail), the 30-year-old said: ‘I love how Jurgen Klopp has found a way to get his way. He’s been moaning for years. They have been pushing back, and finally, they have given him his five subs.

‘I think we saw last season, even the season before, constantly banging on and banging on. Votes on votes on votes. Getting pushed back, then all of a sudden, they announced the five subs eventually’.
