Gracious and highly complimentary not only in victory but also very much in defeat. Respect!

[Albion] Klopp

I have to admit to a bit of a liking for Klopp. He seems humble and eloquent. Certainly a much nicer bloke than that grumpy one at Spurs.

There was nothing else he could say last night, they were outplayed.
But usually he is one of the very worst losers in football. At least the likes of Mourinho and Conte are twats all of the time and don't try and hide it. And Pep (who I love) is slightly unhinged so you never quite know what you're going to get. But Klopp likes to come across as this likeable, cuddly, cool guy but when he loses he totally changes and can be vile.

Gracious last night but didn't he go on a massive rant and get into an argument with the interviewer after the 1-1 draw at The Amex?

Said complimentary things last night, but I've always thought him to be a bit of a bellend in interviews when they don't win.
He's not the only one who has a hissy fit after a bad result, its called competitiveness.
He's my favourite manager for his football abilities, humility, charisma and sense of humour. the fact he shows those 'normal' trates highlights that at the end of the day Its just a game of football.

Both Klopp and Guardiola rave about Potters abilities. That's the Brighton Manager. WTF?
What a time to be a Brighton fan. Unreal.

Klopp had to gracious because his side was outplayed and there was no hiding from it - but don't be fooled by his smiles and kind words in front of the press.
He is one of the biggest cry babies in football when he loses, blaming officials, injuries, fixture congestion, the wind or the length of a blade of grass.
One thing I can't stand about Klopp is the way he speaks to officials. He gives them a torrent of abuse but he does it with a smile, so the average joe watching just thinks he's friendly old Klopp. Look out for it in Liverpool's next game and you'll know what I mean. He's the fakest manager in the league.

Seriously? Klopp? The guy's practically schizophrenic - one minute all smiles and nicey nicey, the next an unhinged raving loon.

That's honestly what I was expecting last night in his interview, but fair play to him, he was (quite rightly) full of praise for GPott and the team. We're used to that when Liverpool have spanked us off the park, but to keep on message after a defeat? Fair play to him.
He's an NSC regular!

Most winners are very bad losers, because they do not accept defeat and will blame everything and everyone except themselves.
Golfers are masters of it, the caddy, the course, the crowd etc.
What I hate is when they say we gave them this and they were lucky or it should never have happened.
Klopp had to come up with reasons and that was too many away games in a short space of time leading to tiredness and a jaded performance, I don't think he made injuries an excuse.
But he did say that on the night we was the better team and that we played really well, so credit him for that, not many do.
The pressure on the manager of the top clubs is huge from owners, fans and media.
If we beat Burnley or if it was West Brom there will be no compliments whatsoever.

sshh...!
I’ve never felt this. He has his moments like many managers do, but you seem to be focusing on these moments and ignoring his many more positive traits. I’ve read some articles from the staff at Liverpool, not the playing staff but the regular staff, and they say he’s a nice approachable and friendly person.
