“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!” Klopp told the Echo.

“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.

Liverpool went onto win the game by a 4-1 scoreline with goals from Roberto  Firmino, Adam Lallana and Sadio Mane.
