Jurgen Klopp shares 'polite request' with Liverpool fans after x-rated outburst
Jurgen Klopp has reiterated his calls for Liverpool fans to delay singing his song until the end of games.
The Reds manager was heard on the pitchside microphones explicitly calling for supporters to halt their rendition of The Beatles' 'I feel fine', which the Kop has coined for the successful German, during their 3-1 win over AFC Bournemouth.
Klopp was animated on the touchline against the Cherries as it rang round Anfield. At the time, Liverpool were weathering an onslaught from Andoni Iraola's side with a man disadvantage following Alexis Mac Allister's red card - which would later be rescinded.
The response sparked debate among fans and ahead of the visit of Aston Villa, the 56-year-old moved to acknowledge the incident in their Anfield curtain-raiser last month, but issued a request.

"I could not appreciate this more, but in the spirit of being able to disagree with people who you love, I need to revisit a subject that I have raised before: my song," he began in his programme notes.
"The first thing I have to say about it is I absolutely love it. To have a song sung in my name by the supporters of this club is something so special that I cannot put my feelings into words, but it is an honour that would have been beyond my imagination when I became Liverpool manager.
"I say this because I do not want there to be any misunderstanding. I love that the song exists. I love that it is sung. And, more than anything else, I am humbled that the supporters who I love want to sing it when they come to Anfield. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps," he added.
