Jurgen Klopp has built a reputation as one of the best managers in the world and as well as being one of the sorest losers who would always have an excuse at different things for his team's loss.

Unprovoked, he had to talk about Wolves' third goal scored by skipper Ruben Neves after their recent Premier League loss, which the social media guys at the club toasted him for.

Klopp blames wind for Wolves loss

The former Borussia Dortmund manager had his team eliminated from the 2018/19 FA Cup by Wolves after a 2-1 loss at the Molineux and gave excuses that it was too windy during the game, as noted by Sun UK.

''The wind didn't help, players struggled to control the ball,'' he said after the match, which was quite windy in fairness.

Klopp blames snow for Leicester draw

As noted by ESPN, after their 1-1 draw against Leicester in 2019 at Anfield, Klopp made it about the snow at their home ground which he said prevented the ball from moving well.

''You saw that the ball didn't roll really. If you then have the ball pretty much for 70 to 80 percent of the time it makes life really uncomfortable. The only problem is if it stays on the pitch and that was actually the case,'' he said.

Dry pitch for WestBrom draw

As noted by talkSPORT, Liverpool drew 2-2 against already relegated WestBrom in 2018 and the former Mainz manager took it out on the condition of the pitch.

“It was a difficult game, especially after the pitch got drier and drier, we had the ball constantly and it’s not so easy,” said Klopp.

Broadcaster blamed for WestBrom loss

As noted by Mirror UK, Klopp blamed broadcasters for reducing the additional minutes to four from a supposed 10 minutes after their FA Cup loss to West Bromwich Albion in 2018.

“I heard that television said it’s not longer than four minutes. I don’t know what was afterwards, maybe the news or something.” he said.

Illnesses blamed for Swansea loss

As noted by Empire of the Kop, the Liverpool boss blamed a spout of illness that forced his players to miss training for the loss to Swansea in the FA Cup in 2017.

Wolves troll Klopp for comments

The most recent of Jurgen Klopp's excuses landed him in hot waters on social media with Wolverhampton Wanderers who beat Liverpool 3-0 at the weekend.

As earlier reported by Sports Brief, the social media team trolled Klopp for complaining about Ruben Neves' goal and Wolves's third, making him a subject of ridicule online.

A Merseyside derby against resurgent Everton under Sean Dyche awaits the German's men next.
