Klopp tells fans: Don't sing my name until we have won

I saw that in his post match presser, and thought it a bit odd to be honest.

I kind of understand where he is coming from, but I'm pretty sure I've never heard a manager say anything like that before, and it just seems a bit strange to me.

So even Klopp doesn't think he should be worshipped. Seems simple enough.

That's fine we still have the Rafa thread.

You'll find me in there...worshipping

It was from the Echo article which Exiled posted in the match thread & Pearce or the other fella mentioned it... that's Klopp for you...

No need to worship Jürgen, until he creates a format to breakdown the 9 man defensive walls we will encounter against the mid table sides.
Then he can walk on water.

How does his song go? I haven't heard and can't seem to find it.

Think it's another example of a man with his priorities straight.

Similar to what he said when he joined.. something along the lines of "it doesn't matter if the fans like you when you join, it matters if they like you when you leave."

Good luck getting the Kop to shut up though Jürgen 

He mentioned it in both the after match TV interview and then in the press conference so I guess he wanted to make a point about it.

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has explained why he reacted so angrily when the Kop began to sing his name in the second half of Saturday's 4-1 win over Leicester.

Roberto Firmino began and ended the scoring, with goals from Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana in between, while Lucas Leiva's mistake briefly gave the Foxes hope when Jamie Vardy made it 2-1 just before half-time.

And Klopp was upset at the Anfield crowd celebrating with the game still in the balance at 3-1, noting that Vardy was through one-on-one with Simon Mignolet while they were singing.

"Please don't sing my name before the game is decided," he said. "When the Kop started singing it, (Leicester) were alone in front of Simon Mignolet.

"I don't play. It was the same at Arsenal. It is nice but not necessary. I am really on the side of the players. I am responsible for our bad performances, they are responsible for the good performances.

"That is an easy deal. That is what I expect from us, what we did today."

I think he also mentioned it was like celebrating a penalty before you've scored it.  Fair point.  I've seen enough pennos missed in my time and personally I don't celebrate 'getting a pen'.  Some people in the ground go absolute batshit.  Save it until it's been taken and gone in!

Win the league for us Jürgen and you will not have any say about us singing your name,do that little job for us and you will go down in L.F.C.history.

I kind of get what he is on about but he misunderstands why his name was being sung, it was not complacency on behalf of the fans, just appreciation. I think he needs to be a little bit careful in his comments about the fans, it can very very quickly turn.

Maybe he finds this cult of personality springing up around him a wee bit embarrassing. After all, he's the 'normal one'.

. fair play to him.

Sing the players songs and ex players \ managers songs.

I know I find it a bit cringeworthy. Give the man time to do something before we make him a hero.

For what exactly?

I'd hardly regard singing his song anyone putting him up as a 'hero'. Can't imagine you would be stood on the kop telling anyone to pipe down if they sang his name.

Klopp is well off on this one, it's not putting him up on a pedestal to sing his name it's creating an atmosphere and getting behind the team.

Fair play - if you listen he said Migs was 'alone' infront of the Kop... I think he wants the fans to back the players - not the manager.

I like it, sing his name when we win but salute the players and support them when the game is going on. Nothing wrong with that...

Hehehehe

Ok, you got me on that one....well it's not how I would consider it

It's one thing to raise questions about him off the pitch, no problem with that but in the stadium any songs are good in my book, think Klopp has got this one all wrong but not really something worth losing sleep over.

my take is that he doesnt mind the fans signing his name.  but to do so after the game is done and dusted.  there were still lots of time and anything could happen still

his example regarding celebrating a penalty ahot goal before the shot was taken likens me to think this

in this aspect I agree with him,  till the 90 mins plus stoppage time is over, everything is business

Neither here nor there for me if his name is sung during a game before a game after a game or all 3. However I do believe players can be lifted by the crowd audibly backing them. If we sang some players names who never ever get a mention would it lift them that extra few % that might make a difference?. 

And if that what the boss is hinting at then its astute of him to come out with what he's said
