Rio Ferdinand has labelled Mikel Arteta naive for
challenging Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp at the weekend during Arsenal’s 4-0
bashing at Anfield.
The Arsenal manager was involved in a heated spat with Klopp
on the Anfield touchline.
The two managers became enraged, with Arteta furious in a
rare show of emotion, confronting Klopp and both were shown yellow cards for
their actions.
And former Manchester United defender, Ferdinand sees the
incident as an avoidable mistake from Arteta, adding that the Spaniard showed
his naivety by doing so.
“I watched the game and Liverpool just turned the screw. They
turned the screw after Arteta and Klopp’s spat on the touchline, which Arteta
started,” Ferdinand told Vibe with FIVE.
“That was naive, for me. At Anfield you don’t want to be
gassing up that crowd and whipping them up.
“You have a go at Klopp the way you do when you’re 1 or 2-0
up, not when you’re still in the game and the game’s on a knife edge.
“I think that was a little bit of naivety on Arteta’s
behalf.
“I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt because he’s a young
manager, so I think he’ll learn from that.”
