A Few Thoughts from the Match: Liverpool 1 Burnley 1

[sir roger]

Suspect most of them can't sing for toffee anyway.

[an tha]

Good. Hopefully we'll see results from this very soon!

If improvement isn't seen by next weeknyou can guarantee the next feedback will be even more stern!

[Tony Moanero]

The real atmosphere died when The Kop went all seater. There's no way in the world you'll get the same atmosphere with fellas siting down with mostly strangers than you will when groups of 5, 10 or even 20 mates - often half-cut - are bouncing around next to each other.

And the atmosphere had on the wain for years before they put the seats in.

[scousewillis]

The manager and players aren't even allowed to sign autographs for fans.

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.

[RedKnight]

Again, I get that Klopp is annoyed with people getting antsy about the players passing it round at the back, it annoys me, but the way he was reacting on Saturday is not the response that should be happening.

[Hades]

See, I don't think Klopp wants the crowd to be happy-clappers. It's normal to groan and moan at missed chances or the opponent winning every 50-50 or the players not showing effort. He wants to cut out the moaning at a missed pass or a young player trying to do something difficult. Football is about decision-making and picking moments and Klopp thinks the fans also need a bit of coaching. I like the guy unreservedly.

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.

[aws]

A bit torn on this one. On the one hand I think a manager should just concentrate on the game and let the crowd support the way wants to. On the other hand it has to be said that the moaners in the Moan Stand deserve any stick that's going.

Is right.

Lets not forget fans are massively out of pocket watching us so want to see us perform well and get their moneys worth. Klopp gets his 7m a year no matter what. It's a lot easier to get frustrated when you are paying for the privilege.

Nah, I'm not having that. The manager and players stopping to sign autographs for kids, outside football grounds and Melwood, has little bearing on the club selling overpriced, signed memorabilia to people with more money than sense. It's driven by sheer greed and a complete lack of regard for the ordinary football fan.

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.

Do Klopp and the players set the ticket prices.....  Dont take it out on them because the suits want a new yacht

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.

You two seem to know the mind of the man intimately.

 

I can only deal with what I saw which is an incredibly aggressive reaction to much ado about nothing from Klopp. It does him no favours doing it.

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 ..

[ngogswilly]

You people

Racist

[scousewillis]

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.

Totally agree with you.

Sacked in the morning. We're getting sacked in the morning.

We’re shit and we know we are.

That's why the aways are better

Again, they've always been known as moaning cunts in there.  For decades.

Don't think anyone's suggesting it's out of self-aggrandisement mate.

[Mathewbet1]

Klopp's mantra is you support the team from kick off to final whistle. Have your moan after the final whistle not, give the players grief during the game (although I could understand some of the frustration in the ground today). He isnt looking for self adulation during the game either as he believes that detracts from giving support to the team.

 

It appears some people want Klopp to bend to their way of showing support rather than bending to his. If people arent prepared to buy into Klopp's way then, there's going to be a division created between the manager and a section of some of the fans.

Agreed their are far to many moaning cunts inside anfield these days, if they spent as much energy singing and supporting the team it would make a difference, thats Klopps point i think.
