As the old quip goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression. Unfortunately for Jurgen Klopp, in the aftermath of the slightly uncouth 2-2 draw between Liverpool and West Brom on Sunday, the impression he left James McClean with wasn’t particularly favourable.

With a prominent peppering of full-blooded thunder-lunges flying in throughout, the feisty encounter at Anfield culminated in Klopp eschewing a traditional post-match handshake with Tony Pulis to run off and celebrate Liverpool’s 96th-minute equaliser with his players.

This behaviour didn’t go down too well with McClean, who reckons Klopp (who also clashed with members of Pulis’ staff) conducted himself like “a bit of an idiot”.

Speaking to BBC West Midlands, the 26-year-old winger grumbled:

I’ve got respect for the man because he’s done a great job at Dortmund, but I think he’s a bit of an idiot if I’m being honest.

In the game on Sunday … you can’t act that way. Win, lose or draw, you’ve got to be respectful.

Fair enough, though let’s face it – it could have been much, much worse…

    Idiots don’t win the Bundesliga or get to the Champions League final. Then again, idiots generally don’t play for a premier league team when they’re only good enough to play in the Championship.
