Peter Crouch names Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp ‘moaner of the season’

Peter Crouch has dubbed Jurgen Klopp the biggest moaner in the Premier League, but the former Liverpool striker means it as a compliment.

“Well, all of them whinge – especially the top managers. Jurgen Klopp probably just edges it,” Crouch wrote in his end-of-season awards article for the Daily Mail.

“The biggest characters are winners: Ferguson, Mourinho, Benitez were always like that.

“It’s always everybody else’s fault when they lose, none of them accept defeat well. I don’t think any of the current crop cover themselves in glory when they lose.

“And that’s because they are winners. It’s cracking TV, isn’t it? You hang on for their interviews.”

The 54-year-old revealed he was annoyed with fans of Bruno Lage’s team following his side’s final-day win over Wolves, which was just about enough for them to win a second Premier League title in three years.

He complained that they were celebrating Manchester City’s goals, which prevented Liverpool from winning the league, down the M62 in Manchester.
