Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says Brighton rival Graham Potter has a big future ahead of him.
Klopp admits Brighton pushed them all the way for their 2-2 draw at Anfield.
He later said: "He has all you need, he definitely has all you need. I don't know Graham now too well, I think what I can say is he is an absolutely nice fella and then what I can say is that his team mirrors his ability and that's really good. He has obviously a clear idea about football and he is doing a brilliant job.
"I don't want to talk the coach of Brighton away to some other clubs, but I think he should not worry about his future. But again, I don't want to take anything away from Brighton, I respect a lot what they did, but today was the day where we could have given them a proper knock and we didn't do it. I don't like a draw at home at all, but I am not that guy who says it is not possible to draw against Brighton – no, no, no. But my disappointment is because I know today was the day when we could have given them a proper one, and we didn't do it.
"That's the frustration. Then we talk maybe differently but that doesn't say anything bad about Graham Potter because the way they play is really good, but against us it should have been not enough today – but it was, because of us."
