JURGEN KLOPP has begged Liverpool supporters to STOP chanting his name during games.
Richarlison came off the bench to break his Premier League duck for Tottenham with an equaliser at Anfield deep into additional time on Sunday after the Reds had raced into a three-goal inside 15 minutes.
However, his joy was short-lived as Liverpool went straight up the other end to win it as Diogo Jota sealed a 4-3 triumph.
That sparked wild celebrations, including from Klopp, who appeared to suffer a freak injury during the pandemonium.
The atmosphere on the Kop afterwards was electric as fans serenaded both the players and their manager.
And they celebrated Klopp by chanting his song to the tune of The Beatles hit “I Feel Fine”.

But now the German coach has asked fans to no longer sing his name during the match.
The 55-year-old said: “At 3-0, it was not the result for a sensational atmosphere.
“Pretty much everyone misunderstood it, everybody.”
He then added: “My song, don’t sing it. If you want to sing it, sing it after the game in the bar, wherever.

“Because it’s almost like we’re closing the game, we are 3-0 up and they start ‘I’m so glad Jurgen is a Red’ and I thought: ‘It’s not over’.
“So, it would be really nice if you could leave that for later.”
Liverpool are currently fifth in the table but look certain to miss out on the top four as they trail fourth-placed Manchester United by seven points.
Meanwhile, the CEO of Ref Support UK has urged the FA to hit Liverpool with a points deduction after Klopp’s comments on Paul Tierney.
Reds boss Klopp accused ref Tierney of having an agenda against his side.
Klopp was booked after approaching fourth official John Brooks while celebrating Jota’s late winner.
He is now set to be hit with an FA charge for his verbal attack on Tierney.
