Newcastle v Arsenal match is exhibit 357 as to why clubs shot themselves in the foot when they treated the Diaz goal vs Spurs as a Liverpool/Klopp whining thing.
Dismissed the concerns and in doing so backed PGMOL's stance of no accountability. And it only gets worse.
One day people are going to realize that Klopp was absolutely spot on about 3 massive problems:
- FFP
- VAR
- Disadvantageous scheduling of games.
He isn't moaning, he isn't crying. He is speaking facts and getting hard done by. People don't realize it because their teams haven't been in a title race for many many years. But it has now become insanely difficult to win the Premier League title and these 3 factors are incredibly decisive in the title race every year. One day, your team will also lose a title to this. And on that day Klopp's truth will hit you in the face and his words will ring in your ears. You can't ignore and laugh off your neighbor who is fighting off a three headed snake in his backyard and expect the snake to only bite your neighbor.
