The thing is if any team turns up to play Leeds this season and isn't up for a 90 minute war then they will lose.

[mabna]

What you can't deny was that was bloody entertaining. Two attacking teams head to head. Beautiful football

[mrd]

He’s just so Damn likeable, you just can’t help but love the guy.

[nsny]

There's no need to ask him questions. He'll explain everything once.

The easiest interview in sport.

"Jurgen, say some words."

Klopp, makes me dislike Liverpool a little less. Really enjoying when he talks about football and analyses every match. 👍🔵

PROUD TO BE LEEDS UNITED NORWAY.
All the best to Reds. Think you was a little afraid when it was play 80 mins.
And my dear LEEDS friends, be PROUD today. We no longer need to play against Millwall😊😊. MOT NORWAY

[kmbappe]

It looks like Klopp respects Leeds United a lot.

We will see more defensive mishaps when there’s no crowd the motivation and adrenaline isn’t the same levels. It’s like a training game, just hear each other’s shouting. That surely affects players.

Well played Leeds gonna be a hard team to beat this season

[varunsagartheegala]

Leeds are going to be a force to recon with. The passion, determination and character with which they played is what being at the top of the Premier league requires. With so many young talents, they are going to learn alot and are going to become better by the end of the season. Leeds are going to be the surprise package this season .

Congrats to leeds united and their fans for an incredible performance against the champs of England . No doubt they deserve to be in the EPL.

Not a liverpool fan, but how can you not love this guy, so honest and a down to earth bloke.

Me as a chelsea fan fair play to leeds United hard team to beat this season disappointed not to get a point 👏👏👏👏👏👏

For any management students this is a gr8 example of how a good manager can defuse external scrutiny and criticism oh their team. There will be a post-mortem on the practice field and some people will receive harsh critique but that will happen out of the media spotlight and be delivered to extract performance, not assign blame.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk 🙃

Love Klopp's honesty as always! What a man!

[harrymcmullen]

Liverpool fan here, loved this game. Leeds are a Premier League club and back in their rightful place, gave us a real game. So, so pleased to see them back and see them back in the right way, playing exceptional football and believing they deserve to be there. Would love them to play like that every week (except against us at Elland Road later this season) and get top 10 or European football. YNWA

What a match, What a performance from Leeds👏deserved better but they are gonna make the pl even more interesting

[alangranville]

Klopp is areal football man and is always ready to praise an opponent and Leeds really deserved his generosity. I remember when Harry Kane scored a terrific goal against Liverpool and he went to Kane at the final whistle and shouted "What a great strike". His very likeable personality fits in with the club and the city, passionate and generous.
