Liverpool boss Klopp upset for Gomez: Different rules for 'Mr Stones'

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has taken aim at England coach Gareth Southgate.

Klopp is upset seeing Manchester City defender John Stones make England's squad this past week, while Joe Gomez missed out.

On Gomez, Klopp said: "He is in top shape. It would have helped him to get called up by England if he played some games; he is an exceptional defender, but we have five exceptional centre halves.

"He just needs to continue working, get settled, find rhythm. We need all the boys, last year showed us that. They know their time will come, it is a very good position to be in."

He added: “Sometimes Gareth reacts if you are not playing for your club you cant play for the national team. Obviously there is a special thing for Mr Stones."
