Trevor Francis had some advice for Jurgen Klopp and it didn’t get a good reaction

Too soon

Evan Fanning

It’s never too early to make a change.

At least it’s not if you’re Trevor Francis.

The former QPR and Sheffield Wednesday manager – and Britain’s first £1 million footballer (we’re all legally obliged to say that at any mention of Francis’ name) was on co-commentary duties today at Stamford Bridge.

We’ve always had a bit of a soft sport from Trev – after all he was a staple on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football during the 90s where he was often co-commentator alongside Ian Darke.

Well the Dream Team (if you have pretty depressing and disturbing dreams) were back together today at the Bridge.

This was one of Francis’ first duties for BT Sport following his move from Sky Sports so perhaps, like any new signing, he was just that bit too eager to make an early impression.

After Liverpool went 1-0 down to a Ramires header after four minutes, Francis suggested Klopp bring Christian Benteke off the bench… after just six minutes.

It was a suggestion that didn’t go down too well with armchair viewers.
