Jurgen Klopp's recent mind games are reminiscent of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, according to Rio Ferdinand, who claims the Liverpool boss is trying to deflect attention away from his players.
The German embarked on a bizarre rant after Liverpool's 1-1 draw at Brighton in his post match TV interview, blaming BT Sport for the Premier League's fixture congestion after James Milner picked up an injury.
Klopp has complained about the pile-up a number of times this season and has described the scheduling as a 'crime' as his squad continues to be hit by fitness problems.
