The Reds returned from the Molineux Stadium with a humiliating loss of 3-0 in the Premier League in 2023 with Jurgen Klopp bickering with James Pearce
Wolves hammered Liverpool on Saturday, adding to their problems.
The Reds lost 3-0 to the Wolves, making it harder for them to make it into any European Championship competition next year. Liverpool had a terrible start as they were down by two goals after only 12 minutes.
Craig Dawson’s debut goal for his new team and an own goal by Joel Matip gave the Wolves a perfect start. After the break, Liverpool improved and had multiple chances to draw the game. But when Ruben Neves made it 3-0 for the home team in the 71st minute, their prospects of a comeback were dashed. That turned out to be the game’s winning score, as Liverpool suffered yet another loss.
Jurgen Klopp refuses to talk to James Pearce during post match press conference, video goes viral
Following his team’s defeat, Klopp addressed the media. He was happy to respond to inquiries from the majority of the audience, although he declined to address one from James Pearce of The Athletic.
“That has been a theme of the season: starting so slowly,” Pearce questioned Klopp. “Is it a matter of mentality? Does the fact that you started the game so slowly after spending a week on the practice field make you wonder how you prepare for games?”
However, Klopp had no desire to provide a response to the query. It’s quite challenging to talk to him, he retorted, to be completely honest. He would rather not take that action as the reporter is already aware of the explanation connecting to everything he previously wrote. Kloop asserted that he would only respond if someone else wanted to ask that question.
"You know why…"

The subject was subsequently asked again by another journalist present, and Klopp was more than willing to respond.” It’s true”, he retorted.
People may judge them, criticise them, and say whatever they want as they probably have a point. He has nothing to say against that since those twelve minutes did not permit him to say. He further added coming there after everything they did the previous several days, the result was pretty difficult to accept. “These 12 minutes were the worst in a while,” he continued.
When is Liverpool’s following game?
Liverpool is still in 10th place and is in a great risk of missing the top four. When they take on bitter rivals Everton in their following game on February 13, they will try to get back on track.
