Jurgen Klopp was furious with the atmosphere at Anfield during Wednesday’s Premier League match against Luton and gestured to supporters to improve noise levels.

Liverpool trailed at half-time after Chiedozie Ogbene gave the visitors a surprise lead in the 12th minute and Klopp told the home crowd he was not happy with their contribution.

The 56-year-old will leave Liverpool at the end of the season after claiming he does not have the energy to fully commit to the cause after nine successful years at the club.

He is determined to reward Liverpool with a second Premier League title before he leaves and did not appreciate the lack of support from the fans in the crucial match against Luton.

Liverpool were looking for a crucial win to extend their lead over second-placed Manchester City to four points. There were murmurs of discontent in the stadium after the Reds conceded.

Liverpool had missed chances to get back on level terms, with Luis Diaz and Joe Gomez missing the clearest attempts in front of goal.

One lost card belonging to 20-year-old Harvey Elliott caused groans to be heard among home care members.

Klopp was furious at the negativity heard behind his dugout and turned to shocked fans who were punched by the German.

An animated Reds boss threw his arms in the air towards the Liverpool fans as the traveling Luton supporters ironically chanted ‘is this a library.’

Luton manager Rob Edwards also clashed with Klopp in the technical area next to the pitch as the pair verbally discussed wasting time approaching half-time.

The feelings of anger seemed to resonate through Klopp’s backroom staff when goalkeeping coach John Achterberg was shown a yellow card for protesting a decision.

Klopp previously clashed with Liverpool fans following a midweek Carabao Cup win over West Ham earlier this season. The Reds will play the final of the competition against Chelsea on Sunday.

He claimed at the time that he was not happy with the atmosphere at Anfield and told fans that they could not help improve the vocal support in the ground to give away their ticket.

“I wasn’t too happy with the atmosphere behind me,” he said in December. ‘I thought, “What do you want?” We changed the team a lot and we dominated West Ham. If I had been in the crowd, I would have stood on my toes.

‘Was everyone disappointed because we didn’t beat Manchester United? On Saturday (against Arsenal) we have to keep Anfield on its toes from the first second. Without waiting until I get into an argument with the opponent’s coach or whatever.

‘We need you. If it’s too much football in December, sorry, if you’re not in shape, give your ticket to someone else.’
