Journalist points out blatant Hammers hypocrisy of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp over West Ham moan up after interviewing him following Reds defeat.

Before the game Klopp endeared himself to West Ham fans with a wonderful glowing tribute to the Hammers and manager Moyes.

Hammers News was singing the Liverpool manager’s praises after his refreshingly brilliant answer to the simple question – ‘Have you been impressed by West Ham’.

West Ham were deserved 3-2 winners at the London Stadium. The Hammers leapfrogged the Reds with their fourth Premier League victory in a row.

But Klopp undid all the pre-match goodwill he built up by having a clueless, classless moan up to anyone who will listen in the post match interviews (Sky Sports).

The moaning German has been slammed by West Ham fans for his sour grapes in defeat.

And The Sun’s senior football journalist Duncan Wright has pointed out the blatant Hammers hypocrisy of Liverpool boss Klopp over his West Ham moan up after interviewing him.

“Klopp says he saw every single infringement, including in the packed penalty area for the first goal,” Wright said after the post match press conference.

“Says he didn’t see Salah free-kick/dive for equaliser though.”

Klopp moaned that Aaron Cresswell should have been sent off while failing to acknowledge his own player Diogo Jota got away with a sly elbow on Angelo Ogbonna which appeared to break the defender’s nose, forcing him off.

He also moaned that West Ham’s first goal should have been ruled out for a foul.

But – as Wright points out – failed to mention the fact Mohamed Salah benefitted from referee Craig Pawson failing to apply new Premier League rules over soft free-kicks for Liverpool’s equaliser.

Wright also pointed out that Pawson gave a handball on Jarrod Bowen as he was bursting through on goal when replays showed he clearly controlled the ball with his stomach.

Guess what? Klopp didn’t mention that either.

“That is an appalling decision from Pawson – been quick to give Liverpool everything,” Wright said.

“Just given handball for Bowen controlling with his stomach.”

At least Klopp’s captain, Virgil van Dijk, showed he is world class on and off the pitch by setting an example for his manager on how to lose with dignity as the Dutchman praised West Ham and admitted Liverpool’s shortcomings.
