Honest English players the lot of them.

Cheating foreign players bringing the game into disrepute. Disrespectful foreign managers who don't understand the supreme football culture of English football. The English have to take every opportunity to claim the moral high ground. Suarez was crucified. Klopp is constantly ridiculed. Lanzini is the latest victim. Allardyce understands the game ... and Calvin Lewis didn't dive ... They're English you know ...

I would say no more than 5% impact, but in the premier league that could be the difference between a win and a draw.

I'm talking about the impact of the moans on Burnley players. If I were a Burnley player hearing the moans of Liverpool fans I'd be thinking hell yeah we're doing something right here thank you for the confidence booster .. well done guys

Mistakes are there but we're dominating games and playing superb football. Individual mistakes require change in personnel and Klopp simply doesn't want to replace one avarage player by another. He is willing to wait until the right players become available. Meanwhile it could help if the moaners try to encourage the current crop rather than the opposition.

Just imagine how uplifted the Burnley players must have been upon hearing the moans aimed at our players from the stands ... it must have given them immense belief in what they were doing ... just saying ..

Can it not be the fans fault AND the players fault? Does it have to be either or?

It is not a coinsidince we tend to do well against top sides. The atmosphere in those games is one of encouragement rather than cynicism, belief rather than doubt, togetherness rather than division. It's not just about counter pressing and men behind the ball.

When he celebrates a goal like a maniac do you also see that as an aggressive reaction or a man wearing his heart on his sleeve? You people need to understand that we are not Man City or Chelsea or PSG ... we have limited resources, and to win with limited resources you need a weapon that money cannot buy. That weapon is atmosphere ... passion ... belief ... why can't we give him that ... is that too much to ask for? Apparantly so ..

I'm not condoning it. I'm just highlighting the fact that Klopp does not belong to the era of commercialism and still perceives the crowd as fans rather than customers.

But again, if you are paying for a result you should know better than to act in a way that is counter productive to the result you are paying for.

Is right.

Maybe he overreacted. That I cannot argue with. However, I understand his frustration and I see where he is coming from. The point I'm trying to make is that Klopp is not doing it out of self aggrandization. He is doing it out of his genuine belief in the old mantra of fans, players and manager being one unit.

Sadly this is the age we live in. It is all about money and commercial rights. But for me that makes Klopp an anachronism we should embrace and appreciate rather than a guy full of himself.

True that.
