Jose Mourinho: I feared Liverpool were trying to get Giovani Lo Celso sent off

Jode Mourinho hit out at Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool’s bench after last night's defeat at Anfield, claiming he was forced to substitute Giovani Lo Celso because the Reds were trying to get the Argentine sent off.

Come to think of it, Klopp is very animated on the touch line.

I can see how infuriating that would be for any manager.

Jose has found his new arch rival to have it out now that wenger is no more

It’s called tactics Jose
How many times I’ve read posts on here where the fans are calling out for a player to bait a hot-headed opponent. Even the commentators mention it during games.

Lo Celso does play on the edge though and likes to get his boot in and get in their ear so taking him off was the right thing. If it was the opposition who had a player who plays on the edge I would expect us to be doing exactly the same, its just trying to get an advantage.

Mourinho certainly seemed wound up in the post match interview. Can't complain though since he himself has a black belt in this type of crap.

I'd like to see another Jose push on the touchline. Just knock that fool down. Humble him.

Klopp's about a foot taller, moves like he's on speed and has new teeth that could chew through a car door, Jose isn't winning that one so it's better to keep the games in the mind

I think that there's a stark difference between targeting a player on a yellow and having 6 foot something Klopp yelling at the 4th official for the majority of every single game. It's ridiculous the amount he's allowed to whinge on the touchline, was whinging after our goal also.

Pep does it as well, always harassing the 4th official.

Makes you respect folks like Roy Hodgson even more.

‘Jode’ is playing a great game, it’s not something we’ve had with previous managers so it’s a bit alien to us supporters but it feels like he’s back on his proper mind game levels prior to chelski II.
For us we’ve never had a manager with this level of manipulation and deflection and in house I think it builds that level of confidence and mentality that no other team is better than us, proper siege mentality and I love it!

Of course we do the same. Remember the amazon documentary when we played Man City.

Us fans complain a lot about other teams but we are just as bad. Remember when jose ran up to the ref with his assistant...

Yes klopp is worse but doesn't mean no one does what we are moaning about. It's all passion all gamesmanship and all about winning. They're all winners and win at all costs. That's nothing bad.

He’s highlighting the fact he in the ear of the officials to the media and authorities, will it make klopp stop... or think twice . Will refs keep an eye on it .. who knows

Safe to say he'll be harassing a few people after today
