James Milner says Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has man-management down to an art form.

Milner, the former England midfielder, has given a rare insight into how the Anfield boss handles difficult situations.

"The biggest thing with the manager is that what you see is what you get," Milner told the club's official website . “He doesn't have one front for the cameras and then he's completely different with the players.

“He's honest with the players and he lives every minute of it. He's on the side and he's bouncing around, he wants to be out there. That energy's big for us when we're down.

“He seems to judge it right, when to put an arm round the shoulder after a game. If we haven't played well or something, he knows what to say at half-time, or if you need a rocket he'll give you that as well. He seems to judge those situations very well."
