OUTGOING Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp launched a lengthy and wide-ranging attack on the state of English football today after claiming the Premier League is “overworked not overrated.”

Klopp’s side were one of a number of English clubs who failed to get past the quarter-final stage in Europe this season, with Aston Villa — the last team standing — looking like they will struggle to reach the final of the Europa Conference League after a 4-2 first-leg defeat to Olympiacos.

The Reds boss has been a long-term critic of fixture scheduling and the workloads put on players across the season, but as he prepares to leave the club at the end of the campaign he has let rip with his thoughts on the state of the game in England.
