Ex-Liverpool striker Collymore: I\'d take villain Mourinho over Klopp

Published on: 31 October 2017

Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has taken aim at Jurgen Klopp.

Collymore says he'd prefer to work with Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho over the German.

He can understand Mourinho 'shushing' United fans after their win over Tottenham on Saturday.

Klopp's Liverpool, meanwhile, are 12 points adrift of Manchester City in sixth spot.

Collymore wrote for the Mirror: “Jose [Mourinho] has every right to tell his critics to 'shush'.

“A lot of what you see from him is a sketch.

“He likes to be the pantomime villain in front of the camera but, especially after having met him for the Game For Grenfell which he took part in when he could have been managing Manchester United's Legends against Barcelona on the same day, he is fundamentally a very good man off it and I have a lot of respect for him.

“When we turn on the telly and Jurgen [Klopp] is smiling we smile with him.

“When Mourinho is frowning we say he is sucking the life out of the game.

“But I know who I would rather have managing my club.

“Let's not paint him as someone who parks the bus and sucks the life out of games.

“He has done it at the highest level."
