Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has brushed aside the opinions of Phil and Gary Neville following heavy criticism aimed at goalkeeper Loris Karius.
Both of the ex-Manchester United players have targeted the German shot-stopper following his poor performances against Bournemouth and West Ham United.
Prior to Sunday's 2-2 draw with West Ham, Karius said in a newspaper interview that he did not care about Gary Neville's comments, to which the ex-United skipper responded with a sarcastic apology on Twitter.
At the weekend, Phil Neville defended his brother by saying that Karius should 'keep his mouth shut'.
In Monday's press conference, Klopp gave his thoughts on the situation by telling reporters: "I'm not surprised about it. In my very first press confidence I spoke a little bit about English media. Obviously you all enjoy it a little bit being this harsh - most of you, sorry!
"The pundits are the former players a lot of them and forgot obviously completely how it felt when they got criticised. Especially the Neville brothers who I have to say really, the one who was the manager (Gary) he obviously should know that too much criticism never helps, but he's not interested in helping a Liverpool player I can imagine.
"But that makes the things he says not more sense. He showed that he struggled with the job to judge players. Why do we let them talk about players on television? I wouldn't but the only thing I can do is I don't listen to them. I'm pretty sure Carra (Jamie Carragher) doesn't speak too positively about Man United players. So obviously the Neville brothers don't like Liverpool but I've no problem. If they could cause bigger problems than they already have I think they try it. Now you have your headline! Welcome!"
Klopp added: "Tell [Gary] I'm not on Twitter. If he wants me, Twitter doesn't help."
Karius, who replaced Simon Mignolet as number one following his summer arrival from Mainz, has conceded six goals in his last two Premier League games.
