Frank Lampard accepts managers have a responsibility to behave on the touchline but the Everton boss does not believe there is a direct correlation between actions in the Premier League and grassroots.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was shown a red card in Sunday's victory against Manchester City by referee Anthony Taylor after launching an angry rant at the assistant official when a foul was not given against Mohamed Salah.
A referees' charity criticised the German, saying what people see on television is replicated further down the pyramid, but Lampard does not agree.
