Liverpool Fans Show Full Support For Jurgen Klopp With Touching Banner Outside Of Anfield

Liverpool fans have thrown their full support behind under-fire Reds boss Jurgen Klopp by hanging a heartfelt banner outside of Anfield.

The Reds slipped to their third consecutive Premier League defeat on Saturday as Leicester City fought from behind to claim a 3-1 victory at the King Power.

And Liverpool have now fallen 13 points behind league leaders Manchester City, who still have a match in hand.

Klopp, who has come under increasing pressure as Liverpool's form has slipped, appeared on the verge of tears as he conceded that the title race is over for the Reds.

The 53-year-old German has also dealt with heartbreak off the field after his mother, Elisabeth, passed away and he was unable to travel to Germany for the funeral.

Liverpool fans have rallied around Klopp as a banner was spotted outside of Anfield with a simple message directed to the former Borussia Dortmund boss.

"Jurgen Klopp YNWA," reads the message.

Labour MP Ian Byrne, who is a Reds supporter, shared an image of the banner on social media.

The 48-year-old tweeted: "A message from the Kop to Jurgen Norbert Klopp.

"Our manager through the highs & lows. #Solidarity."

Fans echoed Byrne's sentiments by taking to social media to share their own support for Klopp.

"He's the man for us. He'll get us through this. 'You'll Never Walk Alone' was never more appropriate than now," one fan said.

Someone else posted: "A simple gesture, but one we can all get behind. Hopefully the boss is able to see the message. Great work, all involved."

While a third tweeted: "To Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool boys, we will rise again just like a phoenix..."

And a fourth added: "The manager deserve [sic] this reward. Hope all Liverpool fans who live there will make to know Jurgen Klopp the fans are fully truth for him."

Mohamed Salah took to Twitter on Sunday to send an emotionally charged message to fans, saying Liverpool are "champions and we will fight like champions."

The 28-year-old Egyptian winger tweeted: "It's been a tough period for many reasons.

"We are champions and we will fight like champions, until the very end.

"We will not allow this season to be defined by the recent results we've had. That is my promise to all of you."

Liverpool will return to action on Tuesday for their first-leg round-of-16 Champions League clash with RB Leipzig at the Puskas Arena.
