A very poorly-worded tweet from Michael Owen about Jurgen Klopp was ripped into on Twitter earlier today.
It was tweeted very early this morning by the ex-Liverpool striker, and for the most part, spoke a good degree of truth about the German manager.
I like the way Klopp clears out players he doesn't need. No messing. Nothing worse than having senior pro's floating round not contributing.

It was a fair-enough tweet until the last sentence Michael, it really was.
Before long, the tweet had attracted plenty of replies – many appearing to suggest that Owen didn’t offer too much to the clubs he represented during the later years of his career.
