Klopp and Liverpool celebrating a home draw to WBA (video added to OP)

Even more a-fecking-mazing when the point goes over someone's head. Don't think anyone is bemoaning them celebrating scoring a late equaliser...it's the cringeworthy manner of the celebration.

:lol: I like this post very much. It's like people can't or don't wanna read.

Sky Sports News trolling Liverpool.

Showed the video and said "Have Liverpool just won the Champions League? The Premier League? No, they've just drawn with West Bromwich Albion. Is there any truth in the rumour that the open top bus is being revved up for a result against Watford next week?"

:lol::lol:

Don't understand how anyone can compare this to the Moyes gif. A manager celebrating going ahead to himself, in his own technical area, is completely different to this shambles. Embarrassing, imo.
 
Wonder how RAWK took this? They love throwing around the 'small time' jibes.
 
This isn't the Bundesliga. I'm ok with a manager bringing his tactics, but his indigenous league's traditions is a bit weird. I mean, I don't remember Rafa getting the crowd to wave white hankies when he was in charge.

I can't wait for them to do it when they get humped 3-0 at home. See how in tune with the fans he is then.

You'd swear we lost the fackin war, he needs to learn that this is ENGLAND, and leave their tradition's over there.

They took it as one of the 'positives' to come out of the match. Some cringed. I am fine with Liverpool supporters taking however way they want to. But to hear others justify this as some sort of football cultural thing where you take a fecking bow in that manner after drawing at home is ridiculous. It was hilarious and if it was anyone other than Klopp, no one would bother discussing this.
 
Here is the real question: Where is Mignolet? :eek:

Besides if this is cringeworthy and the players don´t really want to be there, wouldn´t Klopp win again? Basically saying you might as well win the game, cause you be doing this every week. I won´t let you rush to the shower, your sports cars and the next two hos waiting at home.

And the other side is obviously trying to connect with the fans. After he bitched about them leaving early at the same score it makes sense to thank them for the support. I don´t think they´ll leave the next time the team is down 1-2. Mission accomplished.

There is a method to the madness. Klopp is emotional, but he´s also calculating. He didn´t tell Mignolet that he´s awesome, cause he truly believes it. He did it, cause he has no other keeper till the summer and he wanted to build up his confidence. If you tell everybody your goalie is shit, you also pay 5-10M extra on the transfer market.
Yes because potential suitors are blind and only go by the words of the player's manager to finalize what price to pay. Klopp is a very good manager but that thing at the end was hilarious. I could understand if it was a final or the last game of the season. I will even understand if they do it every game irrespective of the result but to do it after a 2-2 home draw against WBA is funny.
 
I think this thread shows perfectly well how sanitized the English game has become and how disconnected players and teams appear to be from their fans.
Or this thread shows how dumb the Bundesliga is if this is common practice in Germany.

This is a draw. Against West Brom. At home.

The fact that Liverpool and not West Brom, are cheering this like a great comeback performance just shows how fecking dumb that celebration was. I could understand if they played out of their skins and came back from 2-0 against Barca or City in a game of relative importance. But a late goal vs West Brom? In a game where they were absolute shit? Its ridiculous.
 
I don't see what's wrong with it. Liverpool is a club with very low self esteem and excitement. He is trying to create something so even the smallest victories he will try to build the confidence of the fans and players.
 
Then why continually jump on the LVG comparisons then? It's becoming a little obsessive with you, has he wronged you in another life?
I'm not the one starting threads about him. Or imagining mistreatment in comparison to Klopp. We're on a Utd forum and he's a manager not doing a particularly good job. What do you think people are going to talk about?
 
It is possible to speak about a game in isolation you know, that's why we have individual match day threads.
But people wouldn't have been annoyed if it were a dead rubber like it should've been. You surely can't be so stupid as to not see that.

Now now, let's not start name calling. The point made is about the individual performance, you can continually twist it to the overall performance thus far of Van Gaal all you like but that isn't the point. You need to understand these are two seperate things.

In a Klopp thread? Oh I dunno, maybe Klopp?
 
Do any one know if he used to do this after every match for Bvb, even after draws and defeats ? If answer is yes then it's not a celebration, just his way to connect with fans.
He does it. All bundesliga teams do it in fact. Usually when they lose, it's more of a standard clap infront of fans. Draws often depend on the opponent. Inglostadt will celebrate a 2-2 draw against Dortmund but not the other way round.

The point didn't go over my head it's just a really small time point to make that a rival team celebrated something too excessively in your opinion. Who fecking cares?

But let's face it, it's essential this:

What else are we going to talk about? Misery loves company, and right now, we're a miserable club.

If makes you all feel better then, well have at it but don't complain the next time anyone accuses us to be obsessed with Liverpool.

Liverpool isn't "just" a rival team. Laughing at one another for stupid shit is the norm. If you don't understand then you don't understand the rivalry between Utd and Liverpool.
 
Shit now we can't even laugh at Liverpool. What has the world come to?
 
Next time they should do jazz hands imo and we should join them, everybody do jazz hands in front of your PC to pay respects to Liverpool and Kloppo please.

So in this case, I guess Inglostadt was Liverpool and WBA was BVB. Only way that contrived fan appreciation will not make me laugh my arse off.
 
This could prove to be a very special moment for us in the season to strike back against such a team.
Usually I shake hands. I did not today because it was not a friendly game.
The opponent was only playing long balls, only set-plays, and if you get points like this, do it, but not here.

:lol:

He's the perfect match for Liverpool. cnut of a man.

Didn't you get the memo? It's totally en vogue to like Liverpool now as Klopp is such a cool hipster with his 'rock and roll' brand of football. Hate LvG, love Klopp.
 
It's not so much "celebrating" as doing what Klopp did every week regardless of result at the Westfalenstadion with Dortmund in fairness.
I was going to say the same thing - more of a "thank you" to the fans than a celebration of the result. Surprised that more on here were not aware of this
 
Sir Alex had plenty of connection with fans. He didn't need to high five them and celebrate poor results to prove it. But more importantly, he saw draws at home to teams like West Brom as two points lost. At best, that was a "phew, at least we got a point result". Not a "we've done it, we could have been 3 points behind 4th and then 6 points behind, but now we're 5 points behind woooooh".

What Klopp does right after a game, when emotions are high and what he does when analyzing a game after a couple hours of sleep might not necessarily be the same things. Besides - going to the fans after games is common practice in Germany and it's not necessarily about celebration, but at least just as much a thank you gesture.

I'm not name calling. I don't think you are that stupid I think you're just being obtuse. The comparisons were drawn and I responded.
 
It's still quite cringe worthy even as a thank you gesture.

Klopp & LFC quite well matched then - ''it was emotional'' / ''I'll stage manage some olde bollocks to get these hysterical twats, going''

I know the view of some of this is dependent on its' & one's cultural context but I scoured the Bundesliga Table last night, and there aint no mention of West Bromwich Albion in it anywhere.

I didn't comment on what he does when he analyzes the game. All managers analyze games, that's part of their jobs.

Applauding your fans is pretty normal in English football too. That yesterday was a not the same thing. It was celebratory. Did they do the same when they lost to Crystal Palace or Newcastle? Nope. They were holding hands and doing the "we won a cup" celebration you see quite often. Amazing stuff, love it.

Apparently you're also not allowed to find laughable things laughable if your team is not doing well. I suppose supporters of teams outside the top 6-8 should just give up.. living. Or something.

After the Palace match Klopp criticised fans for leaving early. Yesterday the fans stayed (I assume) and were rewarded with a last minute equalizer, so a different response from Klopp seems logical.

I bet some people left yesterday too. I'm seriously doubting this a usual thing as some of you are portraying. Why has this happened only once in his time here so far? Even if you account for the CP match differently, in only one game was there this hand holding celebration and that too when the team scored a winner? Reads and looks like a celebration for me.
 
People find this cringeworthy?

And Bayern players do this after every game... I thought it was more a Thank-You to their fans than actual celebration. England is so odd sometimes. :(

I honestly don't know, because I only watch Liverpool's matches sporadically, all I can tell you is that in Germany (and that's probably still Klopp's pov) no one would bat an eyelid over this (well - aside from some haters maybe..), so for Klopp it wasn't nearly as big a gesture as most people on this board seem to believe.
In Germany fans respond to this hand up stuff, so it's more interactive than just clapping at them.
 
Yeah, foreigners. Clearly that. The fact that it's Liverpool is incidental. Just look at the overwhelming respect Rodgers was always treated with on here. Xenophobic bastards. From all over the world.
