Klopp also had an epic reaction to Nunez’s goal after the Forest fans sang ‘You’re just as*** Andy Carroll’ as he was about to enter the field.
After the match, the Liverpool manager said: “I wouldn’t sing a song like that.” I wouldn’t try to wind up Darwin!’
The German manager, who will leave Anfield at the end of the season, added: “People should start singing that song (‘s*** Andy Carroll’) more often!”
Klopp revealed that he understood the reference and believed that Nunez also knew what the chant meant.
This meant Liverpool made it three wins in three competitions over the course of a week, after winning the Carabao Cup final on Sunday and beating Southampton in the FA Cup on Wednesday night.
