If you’ve been living under a rock for a week, you might have missed Claudio Ranieri’s sacking as Leicester City manager.
If not, then you’ll be fully aware of it, and Foxes fans were certainly in no mood to forget when their side took on Liverpool, in their first game without the Italian.
A few Ranieri banners around. "THANK YOU CLAUDIO RANIERI" says one. "Dilly ding dilly dong/We're sad Claudio's gone HERO-GODFATHER" another.

Yes, we think the fans might miss their miracle-working manager.
Leicester ❤️ Claudio 4eva

Ranieri’s appointment was widely criticised by pundits in 2015, but he led Leicester to their first Premier League title in some style, losing just three games in the process.
The fans appreciate that sort of thing.

We don’t think this is actually Claudio, but we suppose there’s a small chance it COULD be him.
Scarves have long memories – like elephants.
But while most fans used the game to celebrate the dreams Ranieri made come true…
… not everyone was on the same page.
Can't wait to bust out my banner out today. Hope the owners see it from the other side of the ground #lcfc pic.twitter.com/eS5aydXdfX

Are you an ostrich?
