Well done, people need to stop putting words into Hendos mouth and chill out. Yes the money is a wow factor but he wants playing time
Honest stuff
Klopp's command of his second language is incredible. Shows his intellectual capacity .
move on for gods sake
if the had to go in to a factory and do 12 hrs shift
Klopp makes the tough decisions not the players that what he gets paid for cant believe hendo stabbed him in back in klopp we trust YNWA
Could’ve pushed back against Hendo’s shade and the supporters would’ve backed him, yet he decided to take the high road. How can you not respect this manager?
Incredible respectful manager.
The best way of dealing with problems, don’t create them.
Well said Herr Klopp.

Klopp is so impressive when presented with awkward questions. Honest, transparent and puts this one to bed. Reality was he was not going to get the game time he was seeking, straight up.
Much respect to Klopp for his handling of this. Henderson was hurt by the reaction of some fans to his leaving and choice of destination. He should have stayed quiet but decided to try and justify his actions. Now Klopp says he understands what Henderson meant and we can all move on and get back to enjoying the footy.
Henderson shat all over the floor and left Klopp to clean up the mess. Fortunately, Jurgen's emotional intelligence was able to find a palatable response.
As always, says it hasn’t it is…Hendo wanted guaranteed football!
Klopp knew whaat was coming in and let’s hacienda it right! Hendo v Szorbo/MaCAllister/ Ryan G and Endo…he’d have struggled to keep up with these players in training!
Stevie G, done us a massive favour…

Honest by nature, generous in his judgments and elegant in manner – Jurgen is a world-class human being (even if he thinks he's "the normanl one"). ❤
Ood to see the honesty when handling sensitive player issues.. Kudos to both Henderson n Jurgen for being frank
Klopp has had the same conversation with Henderson as other managers have had with players season after season, year after year at every other club. Henderson made a financial choice for his own future and best of luck to him. What pisses off some fans and pundits (hypocrites) is that Henderson put money before so-called integrity. People shouldn't be so hypocritical because many would have done the same. Klopp handled the situation like a proper manager and his relationship with Henderson was not damaged because of his correct handling of it.
that's man management ! talk facts instead of giving hopeless hope to a player
