# Liverpool fans mock journalist over comments regarding Klopp and Guardiola

Back in August, the thought of Liverpool being [22 points ahead](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) of Manchester City seemed highly unlikely.

The two teams looked set to lock horns in another Premier League title battle, but Pep Guardiola’s champions were the [favourites](https://www.mancity.com/news/first-team/media-watch/2019/august/man-city-transfer-news-rumours-joao-cancelo-premier-league-predictions) in the eyes of some.

Instead, Liverpool have conquered all who have stood before them, picking up [73 points from a possible 75](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) this season.

It leaves Jurgen Klopp’s men needing just 18 points to clinch title glory, achieving the feat for the first time since 1990.

While Klopp has earned endless [praise](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/klopp-is-the-best-coach-in-the-world-right-now-adrian/o9qbe9iqocs51ky1jea15i5ay) for his efforts, Guardiola has suffered some [criticism](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-january-transfer-window-17420815) for City’s surprise dip.

One journalist who believes Liverpool have the Spaniard to thank for Klopp’s brilliance is the [Manchester Evening News](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/)‘ Stuart Brennan.

He has wrote an article suggesting as such, stating that the Liverpool boss is now adopting Guardiola’s ‘more honest approach’:

> Klopp only started winning when he adopted Pep's more honest approach, argues [@StuBrennanMEN](https://twitter.com/stubrennanmen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) .

Needless to say, these Reds supporters mocked Brennan on Twitter, accusing him of bitterness and hailing Klopp in the process.

> Jürgen Klopp was winning back-to-back Bundesliga titles almost a decade ago 😂

> He'd been a manager for 11 years at that point…Guardiola had been managing for 18 months, and been given a team that had finished as either champions or runners up 4 times in the previous 5 years 😂

> Such a biased journalist. 1) he probably has adapted a bit – the best are always learning and changing 2) prices have gone up 3x in those years 3) he’s funded these purchases through astute sales (coutinho) and tournament success. It’s a remarkable achievement….
