That's beautiful, hopefully more journos get on his back and he cracks up.
That was obvious to anyone with a footballing brain. They're a good side Liverpool, but they have big flaws in their squad at the moment, been the case for a number of seasons really and that will always hold them back. They're in a similiar situation as City, very good attacking players that can carry the team for 70-75% of games, but when it really matters their defense lets them down.Would imagine that their title challenge just about done. And even if they do get back into it again, they're too fragile and inconsistent defensively to win it. Almost conceding at double the rate of Spurs and Chelsea, for example.
Could've sworn Caulker's first few games were him coming off the bench to play as an emergency striker too...So bringing Matip in for last 5 minutes to play long balls doesn't count i guess.
Bless you Swansea, bless you.
I'd say it's probably a poor spell of form. Away to United was always going to be a tough fixture for them (as it should be ideally for any side), and his Liverpool sides have always been patchy at best in games they're expected to win.Is it the way he's set up his team to play? Are Liverpool running out of steam after a blistering start? Or is it nothing more than a bad patch of form?
I've said a couple times that they have benefited from not being in Europe. Their first team (attacking wise at least) is very good. But they lack depth and their backup players are poor. I just can't see that style of play working for the entirety of a season.
In a weird way they're very similar to Rodgers' 2013/14 side...albeit without one individual as good as Suarez, and probably with a better team than that one was. As you say very strong in attack, but weak at the back and inconsistent.That was obvious to anyone with a footballing brain.

Agreed. If you look at it logically this is the case. Still when they are your main rivals logic goes out the window-you always tend to think the worst.That was obvious to anyone with a footballing brain.

Not a full season - not all competitions. In no season.It seemed to work for Dortmund in 12/13, in fairness. Though I didn't really watch them so have no idea if their style was as intense as this.
Jumped the shark in season 2 and never been the same since.They will release a DVD of the 27th season of the hit sitcom show: Next year is our year. They say episode 22 is hilarious, involving guest appearance from Paul Clement, added with some cool technological effects of long balls. Can't wait for it.
Eh i'd hardly call what they did last week game raising. Got a goal because Pogba had a mental lapse jumping for the ball.Literally the definition of game raising cnuts this lot
HahaJumped the shark in season 2 and never been the same since.
Was it just the media though, Klopper?Crap today. Not sure he got it wrong though. It just felt like one of those days where no one really played well. I laughed when I saw Matip ironically coming on for us to play long to (which we were terrible at).
At least this will shut the media up about us as title challengers. We're competing for top four and that's it.
Yeah, exactly! Last season it was a regular sight to see.Could've sworn Caulker's first few games were him coming off the bench to play as an emergency striker too...
I don't imagine we'll see them for a while.Where are all the resident Liverpool fans?
You won't find a post from me suggesting that we could win it...*shuffles uncomfortably*Was it just the media though, Klopper?
Massaging their necksWhere are all the resident Liverpool fans?
Not referring specifically to last week. More that they're top of the little top 6 mini league when it's only games against other top 6 teams, but bottom when it's the other 14Eh i'd hardly call what they did last week game raising. Got a goal because Pogba had a mental lapse jumping for the ball.
If we drop points they'll all log back on at 5Where are all the resident Liverpool fans?
It was at this moment that Klopper76 went back and stealth edited his posts about the game.You won't find a post from me suggesting that we could win it...*shuffles uncomfortably*
Fair enough - didn't release how far off the pace they were in the league when they reached the CL final.Not a full season - not all competitions. In no season.
12/13 they had their problems in the league finishing 25 points behind Bayern.
11/12 they had their problems in the league and in the CL until winter and made a nearly spotless run afterwards.
Both of Firmino's?I hope he's asked about the two goals they scored that shouldn't have stood
Aye.Both of Firmino's?
