Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe says he has no issues with Jurgen Klopp not being a good loser.
The Liverpool coach has come in for criticism this season for his petulance towards journalists after poor results.
However, Howe is understanding of the pressures of management, despite the two going at it when the two sides met at Anfield nearly six months ago.
Speaking with reporters, Howe said: I think you have to be a bad loser. If you're a good loser, you're in the wrong job."
It may have helped us [late loss to Liverpool earlier this season] in some strange way, in that you go through that experience and you're desperate not to feel that again," he said.
I don't need any reminding of how painful losing is. I did that during my playing career and I hated that feeling. As a manager, it is probably 10 times worse, maybe 100 times worse. I actually detest it as a manager."
