English pundit, Chris Sutton believes Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp ought to get a touchline suspension for his actions during Sunday’s game against Tottenham.
In Liverpool’s 4-3 victory at Anfield, Klopp received a yellow card for running up to the fourth official and celebrating the winner in the 94th minute.
Sutton added that the German “should be banned from the technical area for the way he behaved on the touchline.”
“I don’t believe a fine is sufficient. He has experience, he should get more than that”. Sutton said
The Liverpool manager afterwards claimed that the manner referee Paul Tierney responded to him after receiving his booking was “not OK.”
The manager suffered an injury while rushing towards fourth official John Brooks.
However, the PGMOL, which represents referees, stated that it “strongly refutes” Klopp’s assertions that Tierney’s actions were “improper”.
It’s a major issue, Sutton continued on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club.
“There may have been coaches and children there who observed and believed it was acceptable to run at and slander match officials like that”.
“In my opinion, Klopp needs to be banned. He knows what he did was wrong”.
Back In October 2022, when Liverpool played Manchester City, Klopp was dismissed for insulting the referee’s assistance. He was given a one-match suspension.
Along with a warning regarding his future behavior, the German was also given a £30,000 fine.
