Ah well, it's only the FA Cup, that magnificent competition that started in 1871, that's the oldest in the world of football and that no-one cares at all whether they win or not.

Compare & contrast

It's not working, Jurgen. Why continue to smash your head against a brick wall? We need to do something fecking different. We've been sussed. How many times due we have to be fecking dreadful before we understand that? 2 banks of 5, play on the break. The easiest team talk ever. We're a fecking walkover.
...we're still going places with this manager. Anyone pitching shit at him can feck off.

Who is undercover on there? Come on admit it :lol:

Looks like Liverpool's crazy modus operandi of expecting everything and investing nothing while fighting an uphill battle against complacent and self satisfied fans has broken another promising manager. For now at least, Klopp stinks of late Rodgers, devoid of ideas and in a slump of repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again. Poor guy - bet he didn't see this coming around the bend when he was cocky and arrogant in assessing team's ability to deal with gruelling winter schedule.

It is because Klopp runs his players into the ground, so by the time they get to the new year they are knackered even without being in Europe. No wonder he always wants breaks & cutting the games down.

Don't know about his tactics, but we must make it compulsory for every player to be able to sprint 40m in a certain amount of time minimum with the ball without which their contract lapses or something.

We don't have a squad capable of winning the Champions League , so why put all your focus
Into qualifying for it and disregarding every other competition?

When I said in December that Liverpool would soon be exposed as an average side, I was called "delusional". Several fans, in fact, pointed out that their defence was only marginally poorer than ours.

Right now Liverpool's actual qualities are plain for all to see. Klopp has been shown up! His tactics have caused exhaustion to his own players, they have no mental resilience whatsoever, and they have no strength in depth!

How many games since they've won now? I've lost count. This isn't just a blip anymore, it's a proper meltdown that has seen them exit both cups and drop out of the title race!! So much for saying that this year's Liverpool team is better than the 2013/14 team. In fact I think Klopp has reason to fear for his job now!!

No serious Liverpool chat in here!

In fact as a tribute to @marukomu I'm gonna threadban the next person who does until Liverpool next win a game.

Remember when Rodgers played a reserve team at Real Madrid to rest players for the following Chelsea game, which they...lost anyway

They are shockingly poor. We absolutely should have handed them their arses a fortnight ago.

Anyway, as is of course usual at this stage of the season, the real LFC are sitting down to be counted.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

In the last 9 League games per game we have lost 1 point to Chelsea, 0.8 of a point to Spurs, 0.7 of a point to Arsenal and 0.5 of a point to United.

That isn't a blip. Nine games is just under a quarter of a season.

Of course we can turn it around but it is just as likely that we will fall away.
What does he mean by this?

Any particular reason that the Liverpool thread in theTransfer forum is locked?
Surely that's the place to discuss What is currently being discussed in this thread? And people do have a right to voice an opinion on where we find ourselves right now, and voice their opinions on how we build a squad good enough to compete.
I foresee a ban in the near future for this newbie

Another thing Klopp needs to improve is how to analyze games under way better and make adjustments and substitutions more effectively and in a more timely manner.

In this regard, he is way below managers like SAF and Mourinho.

What happened to that guy who was commenting Liverpool matches shouting - I'm not having that it's bang out of order.
