Liverpool boss Klopp: I really admire Iraola's work at Bournemouth

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's a fan of Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth.

The Reds go to Dean Court on Sunday.

Klopp said, "When you don't play them at the weekend I really have time to admire what he [Andoni Iraola] is doing at Bournemouth. Obviously a difficult start with the manager change and the results. If you don't look properly at Bournemouth it can happen [that you don't appreciate them] but, wow, they have turned it around and that is proper coaching.

"A really good mix, play football in the right moments with good direction. They use Dominic Solanke in a sensational way with the support he gets from the wings. They are really good, really compact. That's proper.

"But I don't think they are now preparing for us and thinking 'thank God Liverpool is coming'. Because we feel good us as well and I want us to show that too. We are ready for a tough game in the Premier League. I can't remember the last match day when it wasn't tough because it's never happened. They have my respect, definitely."
