Bullits in the post for McClean..
James McClean calls Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp 'a bit of an idiot'
Republic of Ireland winger James McClean has called Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp “a bit of an idiot” after the German refued to shake West Brom manager Tony Pulis’s hand last Sunday.
The Merseysiders played out a 2-2 draw with the Baggies, only snatching a point thanks to Divock Origi’s deflected 96th minute strike in a tempestuous Premier League encounter.
Speaking to Sky Sports, McClean condemned the German’s behaviour, and said he should have been more respectful
"I’ve got a lot of respect for the man because he done a great job at Dortmund," McClean said.
"But I think he is a bit of an idiot to be honest after the game on Sunday. Win, lose or draw you have got to be respectful."
Klopp was extremely animated on the touchline throughout the clash, gathering his players at the final whistle to salute the Kop.
Afterwards he defended his decision not to shake Pulis's hand, saying: "I didn't see him after the game. I can say nothing. We had some words in the game; sometimes it takes more than a few seconds to cool down.
"Usually I shake hands, I did not today because it was not a friendly game."
McClean played 90 minutes at Anfield and has been in good form for the Albion. The Derry man has been no stranger to controversy himself since his summer move to the English West Midlands, but he has hit a rich vein of form.
His equalising header against Tottenham earlier this month earned a deserved point for his team and drew praise from Pulis.
"James has become a favourite here at the Hawthorns through his challenges and the way he picks up the ball,” the ex-Stoke City boss told the club's website.
"I have been delighted with him and he has been fantastic for us."
In shisha pipes?

Louvren out for a month now, but Sakho could be back soon. On balance, I can't work out if that is good news or bad news either way for the RS.![]()
''In my mind, Klopp has already achieved more here than Ferguson ever did at Manchester United. Not in terms of trophies, but the impact he has had.
HahahahahaIts classic stuff on RAWK like. I understand why people stay away from it but there's comedy gold to be found. Like this:
''In my mind, Klopp has already achieved more here than Ferguson ever did at Manchester United. Not in terms of trophies, but the impact he has had.
Also, there's a touch of Roberto Carlos about Brad Smith. I think we should use him to supply Benteke with his whippy crosses. He's probably the best crosser in the league on current form''
I mean we have people on this forum that get carried away but nothing like this.
So is that McClean to be fair.McClean doesn't go far enough.
'das beaut' is a lot of an idiot.![]()
Just catching up sorry what? They are beyond mental. They need investigating because their powers of persuasion and propoganda make the Soviet Union or Isis look like schoolboys.One fella on RAWK reckons that Klopp has already achieved more at Liverpool than SAF did at United.

John Giles: Stop acting like a clown, Klopp
I’M sure Jurgen Klopp had something on his mind when he dragged very reluctant Liverpool players into the middle of the pitch at Anfield to celebrate a draw against West Brom.
I’m sure he even thought it was a good idea but it is never a good idea to act the clown.
The reaction to Liverpool’s peculiar victory lap has been universally scornful and let’s be honest, how could it be anything else?
I think Klopp understands English well enough but this was a sign that he doesn’t understand England or Liverpool as completely as everyone thought.

I think Klopp understands English well enough but this was a sign that he doesn’t understand England or Liverpool as completely as everyone thought.
But he went too far. His delight spilled over and whether it was a big moment or not for him and his team, that is the very time to show restraint.
The players were embarrassed, you could see it written on their faces and when they went away that night, the only thing they were thinking was “what was all that about?” instead of “what a good point”.
It won’t have taken them long to figure out that it was all about optics and if there’s one thing players hate, it’s a grandstanding manager who has an eye on the media.
As I said above, I know what he is trying to do. His style is to put an arm around the whole club and try to bring everyone with him but that was working fine until he made a fool of himself and the players.
He should know that the best way to make the Kop happy is to win football matches.
The best way to cure faint-hearts is to build confidence and parading them in front of a half-empty stadium after they’ve dropped two home points won’t do that.
Working on the training ground the next day will help build morale. Pulling apart the game with the players and addressing the reasons why they lost two goals will gain their respect and trust. Players want to see a manager who knows his stuff.
