Jurgen Klopp has a message for Liverpool supporters – stop singing his name during matches!

Anfield was in celebratory mood as the Reds marked the opening of the new Main Stand by thrashing Premier League champions Leicester City 4-1.

Klopp, though, was visibly agitated the Kop began singing his name midway through the second half with the score at 3-1, mere seconds before only a fine save by Simon Mignolet prevented Jamie Vardy reducing the arrears.

The Reds boss was all smiles at the final whistle and made a point of waving to fans enjoying the victory.

But afterwards he said: “I have to say, because I don't know how else I can say this, please don't sing my name before the game is decided!

“Immediately when the Kop started signing 'Jurgen Klopp la la la' they were clear on Simon Mignolet.

“It's like celebrating a penalty before you have scored!

“I don't play! It's nice, I like all the players, but please don't sing my name before the game is decided.

“It was the same against Arsenal. It's nice, but it's not necessary. It would be really nice if you could stop please!

“I wanted to say this, because (at the time) nobody could understand me. I know it doesn't sound too smart, but sorry. That's me. It's very nice, thank you very much. But I've heard it often now!”

Two-goal Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, who netted on his Anfield debut, were the star performers of a thrilling attacking display.

Klopp, though, refused to single out individuals.

“I love these players,” said the Reds boss. “What about Lallana? What about Matip? We should go through all the players.

“I'm really on the side of the player, I really am. I'm responsible for bad performances, they are responsible for the good ones. It's quite an easy deal.

“Everybody could see were were good and we celebrated like something special happened, and what happened is what I expect.

“We need to show it more often. Why should we think about negative things this league is so unbelievably strong and competitive and you have to be there every day, and today we were good.”

Klopp added: “Phil (Coutinho) didn't start. Divock Origi didn't come in. We have a few players injured. So it's still a good team.

“We need to have atmospheres like this, not just against the champions when scoring four goals. “What we have to do this season is to create our own atmosphere for us and nobody else."
