Jurgen Klopp disguised his anger today by venting his frustration behind the back of the linesman after Liverpool scored at Anfield.
The Reds manager became increasingly infuriated with how his team was playing against Bournemouth.
Additionally, Klopp was annoyed at decisions from the officials going against his side.
The Premier League leaders, who have endured their first mini slump of the season of late, fell behind again in the lunchtime kick off.
Relegation-threatened Bournemouth shocked Anfield as Callum Wilson scored first, with the referee and VAR waving away a potential foul on Joe Gomez in the build up.
Liverpool eventually recovered, though, as Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane each found the net before the break to turn the game around.

Following the Reds’ second from Mane just after the half hour mark, the TV cameras focused on Klopp’s touchline celebrations.
And behind the linesman, the German furiously through a fist in the air while facing the official, only a few feet away from him.
The reaction had mixed reviews with most mocking the incident which could have landed the Liverpool boss in a spot of bother.
One account posted a picture of the moment on Twitter and captioned it: “Celebrating behind the teacher’s back when you get a question right after they call you out for not paying attention in class”.

And another put: “Celebrating behind the bouncer's back when you got in the club with a fake ID.”
A Liverpool supporter added: “Klopp trying to right hook the linesman”.
And another Reds fan added: “Klopp almost fisting out the linesman while celebrating is my moment of the match so far.”
One also hailed Klopp: “Best ever manager”.

Others were less impressed, though, as one football fan posted: “Klopp doing that celebration to the linesman. That’s why he’s the biggest k******* in football.”
And an Arsenal fan put: “Think Mr Klopp could be getting a ban fir his reaction to the linesman”.
Liverpool’s 2-1 victory takes them up to 82 points, 25 points clear at the top of the table.
And Klopp now has a few days to rest up before Atletico Madrid visit in the Champions League round of 16 second leg on Wednesday (8pm).
