Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he would rather walk away from coaching than engage in "cynical" gamesmanship.

Klopp's side have yielded winning positions twice in the last week, turning a 3-0 lead over Sevilla into a 3-3 draw then seeing Chelsea grab a late equaliser on Saturday to leave Anfield with a 1-1 scoreline.

But the German showed no inclination whatsoever towards instructing his players in the dark arts of eating up time at the end of games.

Klopp has seen others hit the deck to win free-kicks or break up play, but wants Liverpool to operate at a higher moral standard.
