Watch Klopp’s live response when he learned that Paul Tierney was using VAR to stop Kluivert from making a risky tackle on Diaz.

Jurgen Klopp’s public relationship with Paul Tierney is noticeably strained, as a particular incident against Bournemouth vividly showcased. Following Justin Kluivert’s reckless tackle on Luis Diaz, Klopp was captured on camera engaging with the fourth official to inquire about the unfolding events. In the video, it appears that Klopp is informed that Paul Tierney is handling the VAR, to which he ironically remarks, “it’s Paul Tierney, oh.” This reaction is laden with sarcasm, and it becomes evident that, from that point onward, the 56-year-old manager resigned himself to the likelihood of no additional consequences being meted out.

Just after the Kluivert challenge on Diaz does Klopp ask the assistant about VAR and then say “it’s Paul Tierney oh” could be wrong but it looks like it 🤣🤣🤣 #LFC #BOULIV pic.twitter.com/7AOGMZPDo1
