It’s not just Liverpool fans who are loving Jürgen Klopp on Monday Night Football

Conor Heneghan

You don’t have to be a Liverpool fan to be charmed by the Reds manager.

It helps if you do follow Liverpool, of course, and their recent form has only seen the German go up in the already high estimations of Liverpool fans.

Millions of them were glued to the television screen to see Klopp join Jamie Carragher on Monday Night Football and he did nothing to lessen his sterling reputation in the eyes of the viewers, Liverpool fans or not.

Amongst other things, Klopp spoke about the emphatic 5-1 victory over Hull on Saturday, Liverpool’s need to defend set pieces better, his dislike for international breaks.

After being baffled by the sight of odds for the Premier League title, meanwhile, he also admitted, much to the surprise of Carragher, that he has never had a bet in his life.

Really Jurgen?

Safe to say, the verdict on his appearance was almost universally positive.
