Liverpool fans react to Gary Lineker's "Jurgen Klopp out" tweet after Chelsea defeat

Gary Lineker's "Jurgen Klopp out" joke didn't go down too well among Liverpool fans following defeat by Chelsea.

The Match of the Day host took to Twitter shortly after Tuesday's FA Cup fixture, which Chelsea won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. Lineker's tongue-in-cheek comment read: "Three defeats in four games for Liverpool. Klopp out?"

And it's safe to say it sparked something of a minor backlash, with Liverpool supporters reacting angrily to the remark. One tweeted: "Lineker, you're not funny in the slightest," while another added: "Deluded."

Liverpool's first defeat of the three referred to by Lineker came against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

The Reds responded by narrowly beating West Ham in the Premier League before suffering their first domestic defeat of the season.

Watford thumped the Reds 3-0 at Vicarage Road, with Ismaila Sarr (2) and Troy Deeney on the scoresheet for the Hornets.

After the match Chelsea boss Frank Lampard reflected on the magnitude of the victory.

He told reporters: "Liverpool are the best team in the land. What they are doing in the league is incredible, so to win tonight was amazing."

Chelsea will discover their FA Cup quarter-final fate on Wednesday, with the draw scheduled to take place after Sheffield Wednesday's fifth-round tie with Manchester City.
