Roy Keane has surprised fans with his honest taken on Jurgen Klopp as the German nears the end of his time at Liverpool.
Klopp took charge of his penultimate game at Anfield on Sunday as the Reds beat Spurs 4-2.
Liverpool were 4-0 up and flying after an hour thanks to goals from Mo Salah, Andy Robertson, Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott.
Richarlison and Heung-Min Son struck late on to reduce the deficit but Liverpool held on to return to winning ways.

The title may have gone but Liverpool will still look to finish on a high in remaining games against Aston Villa and Wolves.
And after the Spurs triumph, the Sky Sports panel took a moment to reflect on his achievements since joining Liverpool in 2015.
United legend Keane was more than happy to praise Klopp and admitted he would have loved to have worked with him.
"Look at the bigger picture and what he's done for this football club and it is fantastic," he said after watching Klopp's post-match interview.
"We talk about the type of football he's played, it's been very entertaining. He's giving young players a chance. They're back competing at the highest level and won some of the biggest prizes.
"He's also missed out and been close. This is a proper rollercoaster for him and one of his strengths is that he's an emotional guy. We see that on the sideline with him.
"He's a very honest manager and I don't think he plays too many games. He's not like this robot after games where he's almost just media-trained.
"He seems a very honest manager and I always try to picture if I was a player back in the day, I think I'd like to play for this guy."
Keane finished by wishing Klopp an enjoyable break after the draining nine years he's had and also admitted he hopes he finishes with a couple of good results in his last two matches.
Liverpool are back in action on Monday 13 May when they travel to Villa.
