Jurgen Klopp and Geoff Shreeves were involved in an awkward interview exchange following Liverpool's 4-1 defeat by Manchester City.
The Reds boss was asked for his thoughts on Sky Sports, and began explaining that despite the result he felt his team played well.
Shreeves was off camera as Klopp was talking, but something about his expression told the Liverpool boss he didn't agree with his opinion.
This prompted Klopp to challenge the reporter, who responded by diverting the question to allow the Reds manager to continue making his point.
The exchange began with Klopp announcing: "When you lose 4-1, it's not our day, but in big parts of the game we played a brilliant game, we played really good football.
He then said to Shreeves: "I can see in your eyes you think differently."
Shreeves replied: "I'm not saying differently. I was listening intently to you.
Klopp responded: "Ah, OK. I really liked it and in the first half we played really good football."
He continued: "Against City it doesn't mean you are 2-0 or 3-0 up it only means you're in the game. I'm not sure what the possession was but it was for sure not what it's like usually for City.
"Start of the second half, City changed their system slightly to a 4-4-2. It's a little adaptation in the end but in that start of the second half we didn't give enough options to play and gave the first goal away.
"They scored that goal, we scored the equaliser, which in that moment it looked like the game could now go in our direction. We looked really good again.
"We make two massive mistakes, that's clear. Everybody saw them, they used them. 3-1 down in a game like this is really tough to take and then [Phil] Foden with a genius situation where he scores the fourth goal.
"The performance was good most of the time. Really, really good, on a high level. If we'd played more often like tonight, we would not be 10 points behind City.
"The goals, we made massive mistakes. Against each team it is a problem, against City it's a killer. And that's why we lost the game."
