Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp told to 'watch more football' after Brentford complaints

Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman has hit out at Jurgen Klopp claiming he should "watch more football" after complaining about Brentford's physicality.

Liverpool started the new year in the worst possible way after being beaten 3-1 away at Brentford and Klopp highlighted Brentford getting away with a number of potential fouls from set-pieces.

Ex-England stopper Seaman couldn't believe the Liverpool boss used his post-match interview to complain about Brentford after another poor performance from his side took them to their fifth Premier League defeat of the season.

Brentford's third goal of the match saw Ibrahima Konate go to ground after it appeared he was fouled, but VAR allowed the goal to stand.

"I can’t believe he (Klopp) was moaning about Brentford manhandling some of his players," Seaman said on his Seaman Says Podcast. "If he didn’t know that was going to happen then he needs to watch more football, you know exactly what’s going to happen when you go to Brentford, it’s almost like going to the old Wimbledon.

"It’s a physical game when you play them and you know that. I find it weird when a manager moans like that after the game."
