Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has described his Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp as "nuts".
The German has been an excitable figure on the Anfield touchline since his arrival in 2015.
And Oxlade-Chamberlain explained his boss is exactly the same behind closed doors.
When asked on BBC's Football Focus to finish the sentence, "Jurgen Klopp is...", the midfielder opted for "nuts".
He explained: "Jurgen Klopp is what you see on the TV screen. Passionate, funny, charismatic and a good coach."
Liverpool sit top of the Premier League but face a tough trip to Chelsea on Sunday.
The Reds may have lost just one of their last 44 league matches, taking a remarkable 115 points from a possible 132, but they have encountered recent struggles away from Anfield against the top sides.
In their previous 12 away matches at Chelsea, both Manchester clubs, Tottenham and Arsenal they have returned with just one three-point haul.
That is something of a turnaround from the 2016-17 season when they won two and drew three of their trips to the top six.
"Obviously there are different ways to win away games, and we have to find one. It's not good news, this stat, but I don't feel it," said Klopp, whose side are looking to set a new club record of seven successive league away wins.
"In 2016, we took points from all the top six and then had other problems, so that's how life is.
"The longer things like this happen, the more likely it will change. We go there to get a result.
"We cannot go to Chelsea and want a guarantee that you win the game, they are just too strong for that.
"Obviously we have a job do but we will prepare for the game without that stat. It's all about the quality of the performance.
"It is not written in the stars that we are not allowed to win at Chelsea but it is obviously difficult."
