Jurgen Klopp doesn't understand continuous criticism of Arsene Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has always been at the receiving end of
criticism from sections of the club's fanbase. Last season, the
criticism reached a zenith with calls for him to leave the club. But
after he led Arsenal to a record 13th FA Cup win at the end of last
season which also came with a two year contract extension, there was
something of a thaw.

However, following the 1-0 defeat to Stoke in the second league match
of the season, the criticism has again resurfaced.

But the Frenchman has an ally in Liverpool's manager, Jurgen Klopp who
is at a lost as to why he has continued to face criticism.

He spoke ahead of the meeting between Arsenal and Liverpool at Anfield
on Sunday.

"Obviously, Arsene loves what he is doing," the German said

"Obviously, he feels he has all the energy he needs to do it.

"He's the only person who can judge this - apart from the board at
Arsenal, who think the same and extended his contract.

"After this long, unbelievable, successful time, always being in the
Champions League, always being close to winning things, you can get
the feeling that a few people don't want you anymore. I don't
understand it.

"The only thing I can say is that I really respect him a lot. I really
respect all the things he has done in the past, for Arsenal but also
for football in general.

"He's a big, big, big manager in the history of the Premier League, of
football, of whatever. He has the power still and that's all you need.
I'm happy that he's still there."

Arsene Wenger would always divide opinion amongst the club's fanbase.
But those on opposing side would only stay execution on any form of
criticism, if result continue to go Arsenal's way.

A bad result at Anfield on Sunday would only increase the criticism of
the club's longest serving manager.
