Not sure why people on here seem to have a problem with the players thanking the fans at the end of the game. Actually shows some respect and connection to the fans, something that pretty much every team in Germany, and virtually no team in England, has. Would people rather the players just fucked off down the tunnel with a face like a smacked arse?

 

Cause its a load of old pony fake shit innit. German football is riddled with all this glad handing, back slapping, grinning nonsense. Almost like they are over compensating for lack of personalities.  :D

It's forced, try-hard bollocks. If the players genuinely want to thank the fans, let them do it. Would rather they weren't ordered to p*ss about holding hands after an embarrassing result against a Pulis side.

 

Our lads coming across to the Newcastle fans yesterday was the other end of the scale. Genuine emotion for once.

 

 

 

Does the result really matter if you want to thank the fans for their support anyway? Just find it bizarre that people are criticising players for doing something that they're usually criticised for not doing.

:lol: He's the manager ffs, if he's not telling the players what to do for what he perceives to be to the benefit of the team and the club then he's not doing his job properly. Not like you to dismiss anyone not proudly accepting failure in silence as pathetic, embarrassing, dribbling messes like.

Not sure failing to be impressed by clarting on like pillocks after a home draw is an indicator that I love accepting failure like :lol:

 

If it was Allardyce forcing his players to do this he'd be rightly ridiculed. Honestly man, 2-2 against West Brom and you get that nonsense.

Most things that any fan does out of the norm, or to rock the boat is deemed as a negative thing to you. Klopp's said that it wasn't about the result and that it was about thanking the fans, it's something the Dortmund players did to the fans that he's bringing to Liverpool. I can't stand Liverpool, but it's stretching to paint this as pathetic by changing it into something that it's not...and it's no surprise that the entire thing started on Twitter.

Klopp sent his team out to answer to the Wall when they had that poor fucking run and they listened to fans shout at them, apologized, and then promptly worked their asses off to move themselves back up the table his last season there if i recall correctly. Pretty ballsy, classy move there.

He had so much credit built up there he wasn't going to get too much abuse anyway

It sounds like they're giving Mignolet a new contract. I don't think he's a top four keeper.

 

I was digging through some stats Mr. Logic style to see if its worth betting on Leicester or if they're just being flukey and apparently 42% of shots on target against Liverpool go in. Worst is Bournemouth at 45%, including that Ayoze toe poke that looked stoppable. Stoke are best at only 17%, followed by Cech and De Gea. It's 34% for us.

 

Liverpool actually lead the league in fewest shots on target allowed, so the others must be doing their jobs.

A scan – delayed on Monday because of swelling – has revealed no ligament damage. However, due to severe bruising, swelling and a deep cut that required five stitches, the 26-year-old, who left Anfield on crutches, could be out for three to four weeks.

Was a good move from Klopp to get the team doing that imo. If players are seen to be thanking the fans in their tough games / results when the players have struggled then the fans will in turn thank the team for their good performances (when they happen) by getting behind them. They're also more likely to get behind them in the hard times as they know they're appreciated. So long as they don't fall on too hard times it's a good move.

 

As for the not shaking hands and shit.  He's a tool for that.
