<p><a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/category/liverpool/">Liverpool</a> manager <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/category/jurgen-klopp-2/">Jurgen Klopp</a> was branded “a bit of an idiot” by <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/category/west-bromwich-albion/">West Bromwich Albion</a> winger <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/category/james-mcclean/">James McClean</a> in comments reported by the <em>BBC</em> on Thursday.</p>
<p>Klopp was involved in several fiery exchanges with opposition manager Tony Pulis during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw at home to West Brom on Sunday and the pair did not shake hands at the final whistle. The German also raced down the pitch to celebrate Liverpool’s stoppage-time equalizer and was confronted by a member of West Brom’s coaching staff.</p>
<p>“I’ve got respect for the man because he’s done a great job at (Borussia) Dortmund, but I think he’s a bit of an idiot if I’m being honest,” Republic of Ireland winger McClean, 26, told <em>BBC West Midlands</em>.</p>
<p>“In the game on Sunday … you can’t act that way. Win, lose or draw, you’ve got to be respectful.”</p>
<p>Klopp made a strong start to his time at Anfield, losing only one of his first 11 games, but Liverpool are currently on a run of three games without victory in all competitions.</p>
