‘You will Never Walk Alone’ gives me goosebumps – Jurgen Klopp

Klopp said he never understands why people would sing a song if it was against something in a football stadium and revealed in the club’s case they have probably the best songbook in the world.

Liverpool manager – Jurgen Klopp has insisted that all of his club’s supporters must start singing from the right hymn sheet.

Billy Gilmour, on loan at Norwich from Chelsea, was targeted during Saturday’s 3-0 win at Carrow Road. Chants of “Chelsea rent boy” were heard from the away section and Liverpool quickly labelled it “offensive and inappropriate”.

“These songs don’t help as it’s a waste of time. When they sing ‘Bobby Firmino’, ‘Mo Salah’, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ — that stuff gives you goosebumps.

“The other songs, if you think what you sing, you’re an idiot," The Reds coach Jurgen Klopp.

“If you don’t think what you’re singing, forget it - go for another song.”

Klopp is preparing for a first full house at Anfield in 529 days against Burnley tomorrow.

He delivered his withering attack in an interview with Paul Amann, founder of Liverpool LGBT+ fan group Kop Outs.

“I never understand why you would sing a song if it was against something in a football stadium. I never liked it.

“In our case, we have probably the best songbook in the world. It’s easy to decide not to sing the song anymore.

“I’m not sure if people listen to me but it would be nice. I don’t want to hear it anymore.

“We obviously live in a time where we learn a lot at the moment. I’m 54 now and when I was 20 we said so many things we didn’t think about.

“And meanwhile, thank God, 34 years later we learned it's just not right to say," Klopp added.
