Gary Lineker has sent a clear message to Jurgen Klopp over the Liverpool boss's clash with BT Sport interviewer Des Kelly on Saturday afternoon.
Following Liverpool's draw with Brighton which saw Reds midfielder James Milner pick up an injury, Klopp suggested BT Sport and their fellow broadcasters were to blame, unhappy with the fact his team had to play at 12.30pm after playing in Europe during the week.
But Kelly was having none of it and a heated debate ensued between the pair with the BT Sport interviewer making it clear that if Klopp had a problem with the schedule, he should blame the Premier League and not BT.

After the incident, BT and BBC presenter Lineker took to Twitter to congratulate Kelly for his work in the post-match interview, making a clear point to Klopp over complaints about congested games.
The former Spurs striker said: "Excellent by @TheDesKelly putting the broadcasting argument to Jürgen Klopp when it’s clearly a Premier League issue.
"It’s a tough year for everyone but footballers having to play lots of football matches, risking a muscle strain, is nothing like the sacrifice made by others."
Lineker later said he agreed with Klopp's point but that it should not have been the broadcasters who were blamed.
Responding to a tweet that suggested Champions League clubs shouldn't play in the 12.30pm slot, Linker added: "Absolutely. That’s the job of the Premier League. I sympathise with Klopp but he’s picked the wrong target."
Klopp is not the only manager to criticise the 12.30pm kick-off slot with Chelsea boss Frank Lampard recently saying: "It's not the best. When you look at the scheduling it is a common sense factor. That 12.30pm slot, how often does it need to be there?
"It's absolutely not the optimum way to have players preparing for a Premier League game. You want the best of the brand. I want us to play to our best but it is very difficult circumstances."
Lineker agrees with that but thinks it is up to the clubs to work through the issue with the Premier League, something they have the chance to do in meetings over broadcast arrangements when all clubs vote on such issues.
