Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp both ‘extraordinary’ but Man City boss is ‘colder’ than Liverpool manager as Premier League title rivals compared

There is not much that separates Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, but talkSPORT's Tony Cascarino says there is one major difference between the two 'extraordinary' bosses.

The Liverpool and Man City figures have redefined the standard in coaching, having gone toe-to-toe for the Premier League title over the last few seasons, and the former Chelsea striker says there is 'more to come' from them.

With Klopp arriving into England in 2015, and Guardiola the following summer, both have written their names into their clubs' folklore.

The German ended Liverpool's 30 year hoodoo for the league crown, and has also secured a the Reds' sixth Champions League title as well as the Carabao Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup in his tenure thus far.

Former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager Guaardiola has also fared very well having won three Premier League titles and securing a record breaking 100-point haul in 2017/18.

This season, both managers are going head-to-head for the right to be called English champions again, with Klopp's side currently six points behind City, but with a game in hand.

Speaking on the Weekend Sports Breakfast, Cascarino was asked to compare the two incredible managers.

“It’s a great question, but I think it’s an unfinished answer, because I still think there’s still a lot more to come from these two [Klopp and Guardiola],” he said.

“Liverpool are challenging on all fronts this season, but City could still win a treble, and that’s not out of the thinking as well.

“They’re both extraordinary and I don’t know who is the better manager.

“What I do know is that one manager is loving his players a little bit more, and I don’t mean Pep doesn’t love his players, but he just seems a bit colder to me.

“There’s a lot of chopping and changing and you can’t quite get his [strongest] 11.

“Klopp isn’t that, you can guess Jurgen Klopp’s best 11, you can pretty much predict at least 10 of the 11 regularly.”

talkSPORT got fans talking earlier this week following a claim from Sports Bar host Jason Cundy, who believes Liverpool vs Man City is now the biggest game in the Premier League - City replacing their old rivals Manchester United in that box office clash.

Cascarino also added his belief that Liverpool are the 'more attractive' and 'more exciting' side to watch, as he continued his comparison of the Premier League title rivals.

“Liverpool are even more attractive to watch than Man City,” he added.

“Even though Man City are unbelievable and great at moving the ball, I think Liverpool have a little bit more of a gung-ho approach to the way they play.

“And, for me, they’re more exciting.”
