It’s hard to forget the clash of titan’s that was Jurgen Klopp going for Roy Keane’s neck on Monday Night Football when Roy was criticising Klopp’s Liverpool side in his post match analysis of their 3-1 win over Arsenal. The clip went viral as Jurgen stood up for his players against the ever scary Manchester United legend Roy Keane.
🗣️ "Did Mr Keane say it was a sloppy performance? Maybe he is speaking about another game…" 👀

Roy quickly backtracked on his comments as he didn’t realise Klopp could hear him speaking with Jurgen still pitch side after the game. It then became a regular joke if Liverpool had a bad performance that they had been sloppy but Roy didn’t use those words again until today.
Manchester United are currently tied top of the league on points with leaders Liverpool. former players and United legends have been on a high with Gary Neville celebrating on social media and now Roy seems to be a lot happier in the pundit box. He took this opportunity to rekindle a little bit of a feud with Jurgen as he chose to call the team ‘sloppy’ recently.
🗣"They will be getting confidence and belief"

Roy is careful and methodical with his words and maybe he’s hoping to get into Klopp’s head here to help his former team have an edge in the League. What do you think?
