The father of blame-game Klopp now blames wind for Everton draw.

during the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Manchester City at Anfield on October 7, 2018 in Liverpool, United Kingdom.

Disappointing Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp now blames the wind after Liverpool dropped points in the Merseyside derby.

The Reds were held by rivals Everton at Goodison Park and now trail Manchester City by a point in the Premier League title race.

Mohamed Salah had Liverpool’s best chance as he was thwarted by Jordan Pickford but it ended in a frustrating afternoon for Klopp’s side.

Bizarre explanation

And after the clash, the German offered a bizarre explanation for the disappointing result

Very, very difficult game for different reasons against a wild opponent,” Klopp told Sky Sports.

“I know people don’t like it when I say this – the wind came from all different directions, you saw that in a lot of situations.

“It didn’t help any football play, especially when the ball was in the air, which it was a lot.

“In a game that was difficult to control because of those things, we had I think three or four really big chances.”

Earlier in the season, Klopp also blamed the wind for the FA Cup defeat to Wolves.

Blamed snow

And he also suggested the snow was an issue in Liverpool’s draw with Leicester at Anfield.

Opposition fans used the latest excuse to poke fun at the Liverpool boss.

“It is 0-0 and we kept our unbeaten run against them, not exactly what we wanted but it was a difficult game,” he added.

“Our derbies are over and we play all the others now. It was not a genius game but we got a point against an opponent who is double motivated.”
