OPINION
It is a topic that has divided opinion over the last 24 hours, and it appears to be doing the same among Everton fans even though it was them who had to suck it all up. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been charged by the FA for running on the pitch and celebrating Divock Origi’s late winner in the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Sunday. After the game you had Danny Mills tearing the German to shreds for his antics, while most neutral fans backed him for his show of passion and love for the sport. Some Everton fans feel the same. If it was Marco Silva doing it, would they be as mad? Obviously it would be a bit different if the away manager ran on the pitch at Anfield, especially as that is something that could spark ugly scenes in the stands and on the touchline. But Klopp’s behaviour was out of sheer joy. No one on the Everton bench seemed bothered and none of the players did either. It happens. It’s football. Klopp will probably pay his fine laughing his head off because he will know that it was completely worth it.

I didn't like it at the time, but if the shoe was on the other foot, we'd be hopping right now! But I reckon Silva is waaaayy to classy to do something like that. Klopp would do it if his team won a throw-in ??
