'You all have to CALM DOWN': Jurgen Klopp demands end to criticism of European Super League plot - but his own fans continue to protest against club's owners FSG ahead of today's game at Anfield... and Gary Lineker slams him as 'spectacularly tone deaf'

Gary Lineker has described Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp as 'spectacularly tone deaf' after the German called on TV pundits to 'calm down' in their criticism following the European Super League's dramatic collapse.

The bombshell announcement of a breakaway league last weekend sent shockwaves around the world as fans, managers and players of the 'Big Six' clubs and below vented their anger at greedy owners who tried to push through the plans.

Klopp reiterated before Monday night's draw with Leeds that he was not in favour of a Super League, having made similar comments in 2019, but went on to repeat his concern that he and his players were being tarred with the same brush as Liverpool's owners Fenway Sports Group.
