Liverpool legend Graeme Souness says Jurgen Klopp needs to learn to curb his temper on the touchline.

Souness was referring to Klopp's row with the match officials at the end of Sunday's win against Tottenham.

He wrote for the Daily Mail: "What Jurgen Klopp did on Sunday, by running up to the fourth official and getting in his face, overstepped the mark. I have been a manager and I know there have been times when I was embarrassed by my actions.

"When you're that aggressive towards an official, it is not a good look. It is not an argument you're going to win and it will end up getting you in trouble, like Klopp has.

I have sat behind Liverpool's dugout in an empty stadium, the game at home to Chelsea when they won the league three years ago.

"I learnt that night that their bench is up for an argument, and it's not just Klopp, they're all at it. They're very confrontational.

"I later read Mark Clattenburg's autobiography and I recall him saying that Klopp was the worst of all the managers when it came to being a sore loser. That is what we are seeing.

"When you're a manager, you're two different people. If Liverpool are having a great season and Klopp's team are playing really well, that incident with the official doesn't happen.

"Last week against Spurs captured their season in 90 minutes — the good and bad. That frustration has shown itself in a negative way for Klopp, and he'll know that. He will try to make sure it won't happen again, but you can't guarantee it.

"He's a passionate man and Liverpool will have to improve on the field before he is happy and feeling calmer within himself."
