Xela Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 He's your best friend when he's winning, but an absolute word removed when he loses. A proper bully in that respect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By his own admission the relentless nature of the job has ground him down to the point he needs to quit. So question (for me) is do his personal issues + being mentally ground down explain these outbursts and he will look back in time and cringe or has he always been like this? He’s always been like that. But he’s also yr by yr got more into the whole woe is me Liverpool Edited March 17 by mikeyp102 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's morphed into what Wenger became after losing big matches. That would certainly sting the way they threw the lead twice to an average Man. United so they'll be a big response from them in the run in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can no longer play monopoly with my family. Nobody should ever play Monopoly with anyone, it's a terrible board game (Monopoly Deal, on the other hand, is good fun). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always been this way was the famous Dortmund video of him abusing a ref on the sideline that was laughed off as that showed his "passion" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The card version of the game lasts about 20 minutes and is alot more fun and interesting!! I've always thought he comes across as a well rounded guy. With these odd outbursts every now and again. I'm not sure if it's just him worn out and wanting to take a break. Or whether he's always been like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think so, the reporter is suggesting the players are tired from too many games and Klopp takes offence suggesting he is not in great shape himself, ie not in a position to judge.

I think he looks like he's aged a lot the last few years and I know from personal experience when you are burnt out you have very low tolerance to people.
