Jurgen Klopp would have known that after the focus on the Liverpool fans before Saturday's clash with Brentford had shifted, as soon as the first whistle blew it was going to be all eyes on him.
And while those fans don't deserve to be criticised for their public outbursts, the Reds manager does.
Klopp is still awaiting the result of the improper conduct charge that the FA slapped on him on Tuesday for his actions and comments both during and following the madcap 4-3 win over Tottenham, with the delay in reaching a decision allowing him to oversee two hard-fought 1-0 wins at home to west London opposition in the space of a week.
