David Moyes Compares Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool to His Everton Teams

David Moyes had fans reaching for the rewind button on their remotes on Wednesday, as he compared Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool outfit to his own Everton sides of the past.

The Scot was in the Sky Sports studio for the Merseyside derby, as Liverpool made light work of Roberto Martinez’s terrible Toffees in an easy 4-0 win. Judging by these comments below, it was a win Moyes believes he could have masterminded himself, per Adam Smith:

Klopp rocked up at Anfield having taken Borussia Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles and the 2012-13 UEFA Champions League final. The German's influence on Liverpool is becoming more and more evident, too, with the Reds playing a vibrant brand of football.

By contrast, Moyes is currently out of work after being sacked by Real Sociedad. After 11 years at Everton, he departed for Manchester United to replace Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013; he was dismissed before finishing his first season after an abject campaign. The 2013 Charity Shield aside, Moyes has yet to win a trophy.

Needless to say, given the respective status of both bosses, Twitter had a field day with these comments:

In fairness, while Moyes’ Everton sides weren’t as intense as Klopp’s, they at least had bite, aggression and a willingness to engage in physical battles.

Given the choice between the Scottish Klopp and Martinez, plenty at Everton would likely trade their current boss for their former one at this juncture.
