Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool fans to not get carried away “celebrating signings” – who wants to tell him that the horse has already bolted?
The Reds have spent around £175 million on Naby Keita, Fabinho, Xherdan Shaqiri and Alisson this summer, sparking talk amongst their fanbase that the club will challenge for the silverware next season.
“We made the signings so from a fan point of view it is ‘Business done – now we have all of them how can it be worse?'” he said.
“It is not allowed to think for one second it will be a little bit easier.
“We need to be ready for the big challenges, the big goals, we have to be this angry, aggressive, greedy team full of desire that wants to win each game.
“All the other teams have quality as well so we need to be ready for fights, not celebrating signings and stuff.”
Oh dear Jurgen, Liverpool fans have already been giving it plenty across a variety of platforms that the Reds are about to dominate football.
The Premier League and Champions League? On their way to Merseyside. FA Cup? Yes, that too.
Being over-celebratory and insufferable is what Liverpool fans do best Klippity – but you already know that, don’t you?

TALES FROM SOCIAL MEDIA
Aston Villa have confirmed that Steve Bruce is staying on as manager.
Great news for Steve. Thierry Henry? Not so much.

Contrasting views.
Dreadful decision. Another season of lacklustre, negative and boring football. Very depressing.

Never trust anyone who says “for me”.
Pleased to see @AVFCOfficial sticking with Steve Bruce. A great manager and good guy who for me is a great fit with the club. Needs backing by the new investors in the market now! #avfc

He’s a fan.
Steve Bruce has a net spend of £2.5m during his time at Villa and had them within 1 game of promotion. He's done a brilliant job and for me it's a no brainer to keep him in charge.

Cynical.
He's got 3 games and been told by the board that if they do not win 4-0, 5-0 and 9-0 then he's out

A FINAL THOUGHT
“For the Premier League, it would have been dangerous, as I would have eaten them for breakfast; instead, I took them for lunch.”
