Disappointing to see Klopp full of unnecessary histrionics today...throwing himself dramatically to his knees over a challenge in the centre of the park. He needs a play-pen rather than a technical area.

He lives every kick and shows his frustrations and emotions on the sidelines- better that than being a robot providing he doesn’t cross the line

It’s part of his character in the same way that Pep, Arteta show their emotions as well

Arteta is another one that descends into histrionics. Pep can be overly emotional but is less prone to the screaming ab-dabs.

Klopp threw himself to his knees, put his head in his hands...then stood up and clutched his face like he'd been elbowed by Roy Keane.

If he had been elbowed by Keane. He wouldn’t of got up

That was to ensure he didn’t cross over the line and get a card - and you can understand his frustration when Taylor was really poor at times , that decision especially was poor

the top managers aren’t robots and it’s no surprise that the very best in the game have been the managers to show emotions like that on the sidelines

Ferguson , Wenger , Mourinho, Pep , Klopp - they full immerse themselves in the game and some times those natural reactions occur

It’s a high pressure emotive game and as long as it’s not throwing abuse at officials then it’s all good.

I watched the spurs game in the clubhouse today , thought they weren't too bad. Ref was terrible and I don't really see how the penalty was given.

There are emotions and then there is acting. I might accept the initial fall to the floor as being emotional but the subsequent anguished clasping of the face once he'd stood up was not "reactionary".

I'm just waiting for one of the usual subjects to lie on the ground kicking and beating the floor with his fists, wailing like a five year old who doesnt want to do as he is told.

Given that many of the posts on here often refer to poor behaviour in junior football (both from the parents and the kids) I cant really see how such habitual dramatics from managers can be beneficial...we ask players who are allegedly role models (see caveat later in sentence) to think about such things...managers should be held to a similar level of account...in fact even more so, given that they are generally a lot more mature than their charges who often are not much more than adolescents themselves.

If you saw a manager of a kids team act like that at the side of a pitch, you would seriously question why he is in charge.

Im guessing you must do the same with your own manager then

He is trying to find a way to ensure that it doesn’t spill over so that he doesn’t get himself in trouble - I certainly wouldn’t want him to change the way he is , it’s part of his make up.

The issue with the new rules though will prob affect Newcastle more than anything with the way Howe and Tindall interact with each other

I’m not really sure I see the point of it


In other news

Let’s see if the Prem stick to their word to clamp this stuff out

Do you have any links of the alleged chants?

Nonsense.

If a player threw himself to the ground and acted like a big baby because he didn't like the decision, he'd get a yellow card for dissent. Yet Klopp does it, and you tell us that he is a complete clown to try and avoid a card? Was it to stop him swearing and screaming in the officials face like he had done before?

He is an absolute clown. Plenty of managers can show emotion without anybody mistakenly thinking they need their nappy changed.

Caicedo to Chelsea reported as an agreed deal....£115m...medical tomorrow.

Who is having the medical? The player, or whoever is signing the cheque.

How did the new rules go down in the PL this weekend? Was there a flurry of yellow cards or did the players behave themselves? Or was it more a case of business as usual and nothing changed.
It was a bit different for Rotherham Utd this weekend - player scores his first goal for the club with a great diving header from 12 yards, goes to celebrate near the crowd and then, as other players join in, he gets pushed to the barrier (not into the crowd) and gets booked for over exuberance. 3 minutes later he gets crudely hacked down by 2 Blackburn players and when he gets up he makes a slight 'card' gesture - 2nd booking and off. From 2-0 up, we end up clinging to a 2-2 draw. Spoke to my old man who was at the game and he is already saying he won't renew his season ticket next year if this continues.

There were at least two in the Chelsea v Liverpool game who got fouled, made the card gesture and got booked themselves.

about time it was cracked down on. And the time wasting and extra time being played. Good to see.

Sounds like you don’t like the new rules because your players were stupid enough to break them.

 

[Deleted member 29109]

Klop didn’t used to act like a clown. So it must have been a conscious decision to start doing so. Maybe it’s to deflect attention away from how his team is performing.

If you saw a manager of a kids team act like that at the side of a pitch, you would seriously question why he is in charge.

Unfortunately, it’s fairly common. And I do frequently question why some people are allowed anywhere near kid’s football.

 

[Orikoru]

Why is it the gesture of waving a 'yellow' that people take issue with? If he doesn't wave his hand but still verbally tells the ref to book another player, does he still get booked for that? Or is it ok because the viewers don't know what he's saying?

 

[Neilds]

Partly that, but the main reason I was asking was to see if the rules were being applied to all clubs equally or whether the powers that be were scared of the big clubs - as usual

Yeah a player from each team was booked for doing it

Hopefully they will cotton on and stop doing it

Not a fan of the player who goes off injured can’t come back on for 30 secs if it’s clearly a genuine injury
