Klopp is a very sore loser

To be fair all managers are but he seems to get more criticism than most when he complains.

[Milltown Row2]

I think neutrals think he's a sore loser and fans think he's not

Possibly. As a neutral myself I think all managers are sore losers when they lose.
I was managing our U14s yesterday and lost to a last minute point so was very sore loser after it as I was convinced there was a pick up off the ground before hand.
Blind ref didn't see it though.

They're all sore losers.

Soccer is a very, very paranoid game (as is Gaelic football). Pundits, players, managers and spectators all seem to buy into a belief that what is said after a game, will impact on how your team is refereed for the next game. Which means an impartial or honest word is rarely spoken.

It's batshit crazy. But this is the cup from which they imbibe.

I wonder how long it will take for big Ange to join everyone else in this regard.

You win the match with what you do over 60 minutes, if as you say the ref didn't see it then he can't actually call it.

As a manager I would blame myself for not setting out the team right,or getting the tactics wrong or making the wrong subs and so on, not watch a refs sees or doesn't see

I would agree with parts of this but think it's the way journalism has gone wrt journalists looking headlines and taking anything that could be remotely construed as controversial out of context to make a name for themselves. Post interviews have been pretty boring since Gordon strachan at Southampton and that was a long time ago.

Ok, hopefully you get one with glasses the next time turf/LL

Didn't matter in the end, but I was pretty surprised that the McAllister challenge a few minutes prior to Arsenal's second goal wasn't given as a penalty. Seemed pretty clear-cut to me.
