Klopp's immersion in his side's performance is nothing new but one can see why it would irritate managers on the receiving end of Liverpool routs.
And former Spurs forward Garth Crooks has claimed that Hughton was completely right to be annoyed by the German's behaviour, particularly if he was forced to wait to shake Klopp's hand.

"What is happening to the traditions of this great game? Has winning and money destroyed everything we hold dear.
"The convention is we shake hands immediately after a game because it brings closure to the occasion, and it starts with the managers.
"The game's conventions are bigger than any manager or player, and if either can't be bothered to perform the duty, I suggest they find another profession that can afford their bad manners."Liverpool ‘make decision’ on sacking Arne Slot
