West Brom winger McClean labels Liverpool boss Klopp an ‘idiot’

James McClean believes Jurgen Klopp acted like an 'idiot' at Anfield on Sunday.

The Liverpool manager became embroiled in some heated word exchanges with West Bromwich Albion counterpart Tony Pulis during the 2-2 draw.

After the match, Klopp raced to the Kop to celebrate Divock Origi's late equaliser with the team, foregoing the customary handshake with his opposing manager which has drawn ire from Baggies winger McClean.

"I have got a lot of respect for the man because he done a great job at Dortmund, but I think he is a bit of an idiot to be honest," said McClean.

"On the game on Sunday you can't act that way. Win, lose or draw you have got to be respectful."
