Liverpool ace James Milner has admitted that Jurgen Klopp is "one of the best" managers that he has played under during his 14-year career.

The retired England international has worked with an array of coaches during his playing days to date, including Terry Venables, Martin O'Neill and Roberto Mancini.

Milner has enjoyed life under Klopp more than any other manager, however, having played a part in more goals for the Reds since the start of last season than any other player - a run that includes four goals already this campaign.

"I've probably had too many managers but every manager is different," he is quoted as saying by The Telegraph. "They all have their own strengths and weaknesses.

"[Klopp] is a top manager and he's definitely one of the best that I have worked with. His organisation sessions are different to anything else that I have ever experienced.

"His passion can only be a good thing. Sometimes, when he is bouncing on the touchline with enthusiasm, the only thing you could say is that he is maybe too emotional."

Liverpool find themselves in fourth place in the Premier League after seven rounds of matches.
