Jürgen Klopp's celebration for Liverpool's second goal against West Ham was absolutely bizarre

You can't say he's not passionate...

Jürgen Klopp isn't generally known for being shy and retiring.

Whether it's rocking Beatles t-shirts to Liverpool press conferences, getting involved with a sing-song with the fans, engaging in tense post match interviews or celebrating wildly on the touchline, the German knows how to make headlines.

That last element of Klopp's robust character was out in force on Sunday afternoon as Liverpool began to reach cruise control against West Ham.

Following an early lead thanks to - who else? - Mo Salah, Sadio Mané made it 2-0 with a vaguely contentious finish and Klopp reacted by... well, we're not 100% sure, to be honest.

Hunched forward and determinedly balling both of his fists around his crotch area and seemingly vibrating slightly, Klopp cut quite the bemusing figure.

Happy? Angry? Sad? Hungry? It's hard to tell.

At time of writing, Liverpool are three up, so expect Klopp to be all smiles come full time, unless I've just put a colossal jinx on the Reds with not much time left.

Twitter's reaction? Predictable enough...
