Everton and Liverpool meet on Saturday afternoon.In fact, there is a history between Sean Dyche and Jurgen Klopp dating back to when Dyche was manager at Burnley, which has sparked a heated debate. Dyche dismissed talk of “issues” with the German ahead of Saturday’s game, insisting both he and Klopp “want to do what’s best for our team.

2018/19:Liverpool won 3-1 against Burnley in December 2018, but Joe Gomez suffered a serious injury during the game.Ben Mee’s sliding tackle broke Gomez’s leg and ruled him out for four months, and after the whistle Klopp could not hide his anger at the hosts’ aggressive style of play. “Six or seven yards and (slide) — those days are gone. “Someone needs to stop and tell us to take two steps forward and face the normal challenges,” he said. “Nobody can judge that. If you catch the ball, you’re good. But you also catch the defenders, so it’s similar to bowling. “It happened four or five times and everyone loved it, but Joe got hurt a bit.”Dyche responded to the comment by saying: “He (Klopp) made no mention of cheating when Daniel Sturridge went down. He had nothing to do with it and got a free kick for it.”Klopp later hit back at Dyche, who accused Daniel Sturridge of being a fraud in a press conference, saying: “Daniel Sturridge is not a fraud.” I think Sean brought up another topic that someone here could talk about. . Not sure if he’s referring to Bardsley’s challenge on Alberto Moreno.”What are we talking about?” Do we all have our own interests and goals? What can I say? We’re talking about a situation where a player goes down without contact after this play, I don’t know. Did the referee rule that way? It was as normal as can be. Sometimes attackers wait for a hit and try to avoid it by jumping? “If people want to talk about Daniel, you can’t ignore it, but on the other hand, you said what you had to say after the game and different opinions are allowed.”
“2020/2021:The most notable incidents involving the duo took place behind closed doors last season, except for a few games.Current Everton manager Ashley Barnes’ late penalty saw Liverpool extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 68 games as they drew with Burnley at Anfield. Tensions rose in that game after an altercation on the pitch between Fabinho and Barnes led to an altercation between the two managers at half-time.When Dyche returned to the dressing room, he was kicked out by Klopp and the pair could be seen arguing angrily over what happened. Dyche said of his events after the game: “When we get to places like this we really fight. We’re really trying to win. That was. A few things have been said. There was nothing out of the ordinary. “They are just two coaches who want to fight for their team and win games.”Klopp, who was in no mood to talk, added: “If he doesn’t talk about it, I don’t talk about it. I haven’t even started and now there is nothing left. are you feeling alright.
“2021/2022″:Liverpool celebrated their first home game of the 2021/22 season with a 2-0 win over Burnley, but Klopp was not happy with what he saw during the game. The Reds manager has once again criticized the Clarets’ physical approach to football, naming Barnes and Wood as the main instigators of the problem and calling for change.”I like the decision in favor of the attacking team,” Klopp told BT Sport. “But we have to continue to protect our players. We can’t deny it. If you like that kind of thing, watch the fights. You saw these fights with [Ashley] Barnes and [Chris] Wood, Virgil [van Dijk] and Joel [Matip]. “I’m not 100 percent sure [officials] are going in the right direction with these decisions. I think we’ve gone back 10 to 15 years. The rules may be so, but they cannot defend against these situations. “It makes the game harder,” he said.In response, Dyche felt it was “inappropriate” for his colleague to directly mention two members of his team. “I was disappointed. He checked the names of the players,” said the 52-year-old. “It is absolutely not necessary to do this. We have professional athletes who have worked hard to get where they are today.
“The implications of what he said about the challenge were wrong. I think it’s inappropriate and not something I can do alone. My concern is that he’s wondering if the team doesn’t have to follow all the rules to win the game.
