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

Celebrating is fine - it's the bowing to the crowd which is horrendous.
 
yeah...but we all said it was a bit embarrassing...wasn't it against Bolton?..can't remember...

Fulham. And it was only embarrassing because of the performance that day. I'd rather my manager start celebrating like that when we are winning
 
Why would you not celebrate it? Was a last minute goal to get you a point instead of getting nothing.
 
jeez thats a good mentality set, overall yes its quite disappointing to get one point even for them but when you score so late in the game to get one instead of zero points its always encouraging and players will start always to believe that if they try till the very end they can gain points..

wasnt this our way when we had sir alex here? it was a good rescue of one point, next time they can rescue three points. Dont really understand whats to laugh to, Klopp just started and these small steps forward and "small wins" will help him to set a good mentality and philosophy in his team, a bit silly thread.. we lost to fecking Bournemouth yesterday, People should be laughing at us, we didn't do shit at the end..

People are laughing at us. Dunno how that's relevant though and how that stops us from laughing at a cub that we always laugh at especially the fact being they are still bloody behind us.
 
Most of our staff would be off their seats celebrating. I could see Giggs pulling a cold 'It should never have come to this' look though.
 
This thread is just full of United bias at Liverpool. It's Klopp introducing a standard German footballing practice at Liverpool. The biggest embarrassment about it is the state of naivety in this thread.
 
Admire his desire to instill a spirit among his players and supporters after a bad few years. I imagine the players love playing under Klopp. Better than trotting off after a 0-0 and having the manager bury his players in the post match.

What?:lol:
 
Maybe he's just trying to build their confidence? Though it is a bit much taking the players over to the fans.

Just bacause it is a standard german footballing practice, it doesn't make it any less cringeworthy.

Pretty much.

I enjoy a thread laughing at Liverpool more than anyone; but the timing of this one is....questionable.

"Team celebrates late equalizer" would be a more fitting headline.
 
I can totally understand celebrating right after the goal..
Or if the result is very important.

A point at home against WBA at this stage of the premier league season is not that big or good a result.

Celebrating it in that manner after the final whistle is.. well. a bit over the top.
 
If Klopp wasn't responsible there would be zero defence of this and just pages of green laughing smileys.

So all German teams hold hands and celebrate in front of their fans at FT, even if they haven't won the game? Fair fecks if this is actually the case.
 
He was giving it the fist pumps at FT like it was a good result/performance.

Ok - if the criticism is at the fist pumping and not the collective mexican wave stuff in front of the Kop at the end then it's slightly better.

However, it should be noted Kloppo has clear form of this and it's something he has always done and will do:



Note how many of those are just equalisers too.

It maybe over the top, but he wears his heart on his sleeve...and the players will appreciate the spirit he is trying to build. Ferguson did it in a different way, we'll have to see whether it gets the same results.

Not sure if you're being deliberately obtuse. Nothing wrong with celebrating a late equalizer. Celebrating a draw at FT against a shit WBA team like you've won the league on the other hand is embarrassing.
 
Most people didn't even bother to watch the match or the nuerous gifs flying around but is immediately all up in arms to defend their beloved Klopp thinking the accustations are for celebrating the equalizer.
 
It was either another lot of booing from the previously zombie-esque crowd after dropping two more banker points, or get the fans engaged with the players and raise confidence on both sides of the fence.

Klopp can explain this away easily in the interview by saying it was the fans saying Merry Christmas to the Anfield crowd (next week we're away).

I'm not falling for it obviously but I can see what he's trying to do.
 
Celebrating a home draw to West Brom is nothing to celebrate like that about

Yeah you can see what he's trying to do but it was still hilarious. He's probably been a bit surprised by the atmosphere at Anfield after years of being spoilt by the Dortmund crowd.
 
Bit much. There's saluting the fans and then there's that, after a 2-2 home draw to WBA :lol:
 
Jheez, how embarassing was that?

Could you imagine if LVG and our players done the same after our draw to WHU last week?

If someone has a gif of that would be much appreciated.

No way would LVG have brought the players out to stand in front of us while the booing from our fans was easily noticable, would just have been a stupid thing to do. Their fans seemed to be celebrating, that's the difference I suppose, raised questions as to their ambition if they're celebrating a home draw to West Brom though. They haven't made up any ground on us despite how awful we were against West Ham and Bournemouth so I'm happy enough.
 
Absolute bollocks.

When have we all formed a line and paraded in front of the fans for a mere draw, as if we've won the league?

"As if we've won the league". Christ, we've celebrated draws in the past from last minute winners. Just because we haven't done EXACTLY THIS fecking celebration doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

Jesus, "Team celebrates late equalizer". Stop the fecking presses.

Wearing his heart on his sleeve will get him nowhere.
He was celebrating a home draw against WBA. He is still pretty much in his "honeymoon" period. Once that has passed, no one is going to defend him acting this way.
 
Players not looking totally convinced just yet.
