Jason Tindall appears to shush Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp - and Newcastle fans love it

And Toon fans got exactly that from their assistant manager, who won even more fans' hearts by appearing to go after Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.

Tindall appeared to gesture a shushing motion towards the Reds boss during a first-half to forget for the away side.

Going a goal down at St James' Park thanks to Anthony Gordon within 25 minutes, Liverpool's misery was compounded shortly after when captain Virgil van Dijk received his first red card for the club.

Klopp had to act as peacemaker soon after when the Dutch defender hit out at fourth official Craig Pawson, but must have said something soon after to provoke Eddie Howe's assistant, as images appeared to show.

Reacting to the shush, one Newcastle fan wrote on Twitter: "It's Jason Tindall's world and we're all just living in it."

Another wrote: "Tindall lives for such moments," while a third added: "Jason Tindall is too funny how can you be shushing him like that?"

Tindall, Howe's long-time assistant, has a reputation for getting involved on the touchline, and the Premier League this season brought in rules to limit bodies in technical area.

Howe previously commented on his right-hand man's tactics, saying: "That's something that we've never really talked about really.

"We're both very active on the sidelines and I've encouraged Jason to be that way.

"We were very much a partnership when we started in management - we try to do everything that we can to help the players.

"We're situated on the front there and in the game he gradually makes his way over [to the fourth official] because he's on my left! But he's a great guy and he's been brilliant for me this year."

That hasn't stopped the hate from some fans though, with a Twitter account named 'Jason Tindall desperate to be centre of attention' garnering 55,000 followers.
