Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp took another dig at TV companies after defeat to Champions League opponents Atalanta.
Klopp, whose Liverpool side travel to Brighton for the 12.30pm kick-off on Saturday, claimed his side lacked intensity as they negotiate a packed fixture list between now and Christmas.
He told BT Sport after the Atalanta game: "I'm afraid to say but I think it (running out of steam) could happen not only to us but to other teams as well.
"You (BT Sport) my special friends ask us to go on Saturday at 12.30pm which is nearly a crime to be honest. It has nothing to do with the game tonight but congratulations for that.
"My only interest in the moment is that I get a thumbs up, nobody injured, let's recover immediately. We take it.
"The boys are completely disappointed, frustrated, really, but we don't have time for it to be honest. It's just get fresh legs as quick as possible and go again, that's it."
