A former Liverpool star has hit out at manager Jurgen Klopp for calling out the Reds supporters this week
The German tactician was not too pleased with the atmosphere during the side's 5-1 win over West Ham United in the Carabao Cup.
Former Reds defender Luis Enrique does not agree with Klopp's remarks and says the fans were also frustrated in the goalless draw against Manchester United.
"I don't know why he's done that," Enrique told Grosvenor Sport
"I support Jurgen Klopp in more or less everything he does, but I'm not sure why he's complaining about the atmosphere.
"The reality is that in these midweek cup games, they're obviously important but they're not as big as the league games, so the fans know the big players aren't going to play. It's normal that the atmosphere goes down in these kinds of games, that's what happens."
"The atmosphere at the Manchester United game wasn't great either – when there are no goals in the game, the fans get frustrated.
"Against Arsenal, however, knowing that they're their main competitors for the league [title], the fans will know how big a win would be for Liverpool.
"Klopp has probably done it because he knows the fans will reply to him in a good way. There's no doubt the fans will turn up against Arsenal on Saturday – it'll be rocking."
