It is Klopp's moment.
He used it to tell us to be 100% behind Arne Slot the same we were with him. Jokingly points out how inappropriate to sing his name next year. Then gives us a song instead to sing for the next man.
Great manager. An even better person! We'll miss him.
When we say he’s more than just a manager. Here he is creating a chant for the next man ❤️

Don't remember Liverpool reacting like this when Manchester's own Anthony Taylor, from just 7 miles from their stadium, had a mare last season, kept Kompany on the pitch when the player himself suggested he got away with one. Almost like the whole victims narrative is bollocks.
Manchester City have made a formal complaint to referees chief Mike Riley over the officiating performance of Michael Oliver during their defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
