'Maybe even 10' - Chris Sutton explains what ban Jurgen Klopp should face after Liverpool sending off v Man City

Jurgen Klopp should serve a 10-match ban for his red card against Manchester City and other managers claiming the German's actions won't trickle down to grassroots football are 'deluded'.

That's the view of former Premier League striker Chris Sutton, who admitted to his own indiscretions in the past as both a player and a dad on the sidelines in youth football.

Liverpool boss Klopp was sent to the stands by referee Anthony Taylor after bawling in the face of referee's assistant Gary Beswick when the official failed to award the Reds a free kick following a foul on Mohamed Salah in Sunday's dramatic 1-0 home win over City. Klopp is still to learn whether he will be subject to any form of touchline ban as a consequence and is expected to be back in the dugout when his side face West Ham United at Anfield this evening, but pundit Sutton thinks that is sending all the wrong messages.
