Journalist Luke Edwards has slammed Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp for his recent "aggressive" behaviour towards members of the press.

What’s the latest?

With the January transfer market now officially shut, the Reds can reflect upon a window where Cody Gakpo was the club's only arrival, while no players were sold.

This may have been a disappointment for some fans who were desperate to see their side add a new midfielder to the ranks. And with the club struggling for form, stuck down in ninth place in the Premier League, the mood at Anfield hasn't been great of late.

Klopp has seemed to reflect this state of unease that seems to be present within Liverpool right now and he lost his temper earlier on in January, snapping back at a Journalist who asked him about transfers.

In light of his club's poor form and the underwhelming last few days of the transfer window, Edwards suggested that "something isn't quite right" with the manager right now.

While speaking on BBC Sounds' Transfer Gossip Daily, he said: "I thought Klopp's behaviour at the start of the window, when he was quite aggressive to journalists asking about him signings, I think that sort of behaviour now is wearing thin.

"And I think it portrays the pressure he is under or feeling because something isn't quite right at Liverpool. I think they needed a midfielder and I think most supporters would acknowledge they needed a midfielder. They haven't even got close to doing that."

Bad vibes

In that press conference alluded to earlier, when asked about more transfers, an exasperated Klopp bluntly replied: “Honestly, come on, I’ve had 6,000 press conferences at Liverpool and you were pretty much part of 5,999, do I need to tell you again the money story?"

The German coach had clearly lost his patience but to be fair to him, he was right in explaining that the club didn't have the funds to go out and sign any more players – as proven by the fact that Gakpo was the only arrival in January.

However, that's not the only time he's lost patience publicly this month. Indeed, after watching his side crash out of the FA Cup against Brighton, Klopp slammed his own players for conceding twice from set-pieces.

He said (via The Express): "We concede two goals from set-pieces and that is not allowed in any way.

"It doesn't feel great. In time we might see the positives but we wanted to get the next round."

While Klopp's huge personality may be seen as a real attribute in inspiring his players when things are going well, it may now be starting to rub certain people the wrong way.
Amid such a poor season, it's likely that he's feeling the pressure and having now not been backed in the transfer market, the manager may cut an even more frustrated figure over the coming weeks.
