Former Republic of Ireland midfielder John Giles has labelled Liverpool boss a one-trick pony, claiming the German has no plan B when things go against his Reds team.

The former Borussia Dortmund manager has introduced his gegenpressing philosophy at Anfield, leading his team top of the scoring charts, though his defence has suffered as a result.

And while Giles believes Klopp can lead Liverpool to the Premier League title, he remains caution in regards to the manager's all-out approach to the game.

"I said a few times this season that I thought he was a one-trick pony and that there will be games like Bournemouth when everything goes wrong," Giles wrote in his weekly Independent colomn.
