While Everton manager Ronald Koeman addressed his war of words with Ireland manager Martin O'Neill over James McCarthy's fitness, the Dutchman also spoke about a flashpoint against Liverpool after the game. 

Koeman saw his side fall to a 3-1 defeat in the Merseyside derby and felt Liverpool's coaching staff were over-reacting to some of the challenges that occurred during the match.

"It’s all about football but we don’t make a show from the bench like Liverpool. It’s football – a hard and fair game," he said to Sky Sports TV.

"I don’t like coaches from the bench the whole time shouting to referees and linesmen, making a big show about tackles.

"They were crazy. They didn’t need the physio on the pitch. It’s a man’s sport."

Liverpool manager Klopp kept his counsel on the Koeman issue and refused to be drawn into any arguments, simply stating to Sky Sports: "Ronald Koeman spoke about me? Then, again, say about it what you want."

The German had also avoided speaking about a tackle from Everton's Ross Barkley on his centre back Dejan Lovren which resulted in a yellow card, saying he does not like to create stories.
