Jurgen Klopp is not having the best of times right now- Liverpool's underwhelming performance in the Premier League and Champions League means that the German is facing a lot of criticism.
Klopp has had to defend performances such as a 5-0 drumming at the hands of Manchester City as well as draws to the lowly Burnley and Spartak Moskva recently.
In one such presser, Klopp revealed the team should shy away from playing attractive football and rather focus on getting that all important ‘win’.
Klopp used a Harlem Globetrotters reference at the post match press conference and the American superstars were not very pleased with it.

Klopp said, “We know the quality we have makes us responsible for being successful. I know that. I said to the boys before the game that we are not the Harlem Globetrotters… we don’t go out and try to play really good football, we are here for results and so we play for results.”
However this underhanded comment did not escape the Globetrotters' attention and they were quick to respond.
If you want to talk results, we've won 4,211 consecutive games @LFC https://t.co/7ON3eaMMJW — Harlem Globetrotters (@Globies) September 26, 2017
