Klopp: "the whole population of Burnley was in the box. Why don't teams play open football like us and play into our hands so we can gegenbone them?"![]()
They played Sevilla during the week and we played Basel don't forget.Once a coach starts giving all kinds of excuses despite his team is giving points away you know the situation is bad.
Personally I think they lost 2 points cause of United offside goal.
And it was really quite windy today, plus United scored an offside goal against them last January.They played Sevilla during the week and we played Basel don't forget.
Good one.
That is precisely the image my subconscious has been thinking of for the last 6 months when i look at klopp but hasn't yet made it to the forefront of my brain. Genius
Yeah sure. 3 or 4 summers more and he'll get the team he wants.People are a little harsh on Klopp. I hate Liverpool but can't hate on Klopp as he's an excellent manager. I don't think he prioritizes short-term success over long-term success. He is building a team for the future and is currently a couple of pieces away from the team we truly wants. Once Klopp gets a world class centre back(Van Dijk) and lemar and Narby Keita then you will see a totally different Liverpool team. Liverpool fans haven't turned on Klopp because they know they are damn lucky to get a manager of his calibre, I would say Liverpool are punching above their weight with Klopp.
Not sure you can knock the fans for getting behind the team, especially since many on here are giving our own fans shite for being quiet at OT. They are deluded, but I think a lot are starting to see it for what it is now. I still can't believe Klopp didn't sign a centre back, it was too obvious they needed one.There fans are the most deluded annoying bunch in the world. The way they try and get behind the team is cringeworthy, literally every time they win the ball back the fans applaud like they've won the champions league. They all genuinely believe they are the most exciting team in the world but they are utterly predictable and without mane, the attack is nothing special. Suarez on his own was better to watch than those 3 playing today, and more effective.
At least they started getting frustrated with klavan today.Not sure you can knock the fans for getting behind the team, especially since many on here are giving our own fans shite for being quiet at OT.

Can't blame him really, Southampton didn't have any for sale.I still can't believe Klopp didn't sign a centre back, it was too obvious they needed one.
Is that Terry Tibbs from Facejacker/Phonejacker?
Bitter or realistic?This thread for some reason seems very bitter.
The thing is, they have a wealthy foreign backer but you're right, Kloppo's not a miracle worker, just another poet of football, fitting the RAWK fantasy adventure genre.I kind of feel people hold Liverpool to unrealistically high standards -- they're 5th in turnover, and don't have a wealthy foreign backer. It shouldn't shock anyone that they're a fringe CL place / solid EL place contender, and occasionally dropping games like this (they were robbed by the ref, by the way).
Klopp is an excellent manager, but he's no miracle worker -- at Dortmund he only had one massive rival, and there were no other 'World Class' managers in the league. Here, he's jostling for position with Mou, Pep, Conte, Wenger, and Poch, all but the last wielding a larger chequebook.
...and then you wake up from a pleasant dream just to find out, you don't have Van Dijk, you have Klavan, no Lemar, just Ox and Naby Keita is not even at the club yet after paying hefty sum.People are a little harsh on Klopp. I hate Liverpool but can't hate on Klopp as he's an excellent manager. I don't think he prioritizes short-term success over long-term success. He is building a team for the future and is currently a couple of pieces away from the team we truly wants.

I'm just saying - regardless of the context, when this is the most common intro to any discussion regarding the team, it's a fecking cult. It literally cannot be Klopps fault.I love Klopp and he's definitely the right man for the job...
Mourinho tried for perisic quite openly and inter would not sell. We didn't settle for a random winger like Liverpool did when buying ox. We have good young inconsistent wide players who I still think Jose trusts and doesn't want to buy some random average joe just for the sake of it like Liverpool did with Ox.For everyone criticising Klopp who could Liverpool get as a manager that would be better? Yes, I agree he should have got a CB and was stubborn in only having one target however he's not the only manager that does this, Mourinho didn't get a winger or a fullback despite obvious weaknesses in those positions and Arsene Wenger similarly annoys fans also with failure to address weaknesses in the squad. Maybe the managers are truly blind to the weaknesses in the squad but maybe it's because the owners haven't given them the budget to address all the weaknesses in the team or the targeted players didn't want to come to the club. None of us a privy to the inside workings of the club.
Absolutely true, we don't know what secret meetings hide, except that one statement from LFC's official website, apologising for tapping up a 50m defender. They had some budget to spend, but we cannot just assume Van Dijk was the only defender available at the market. Conte would be absolutely delighted with that purchase and he was put on some blast after failing in achieving multiple targets, then he moved on and managed to get Rudiger for about 35m who's not too bad at all, the price was fairly decent, easily in financial range for LFC.For everyone criticising Klopp who could Liverpool get as a manager that would be better?

He had a centre back better than anyone else at the club in Sakho and was too stubborn to play him.People are a little harsh on Klopp. I hate Liverpool but can't hate on Klopp as he's an excellent manager.

Did you just compare Jurgen Klopp to Sir Alex Ferguson?I don't think Klopp is a bad manager, in fact it's Klopp's ability that is keeping Liverpool in the top 6, otherwise they would be a mid table/ lower half team, and with some luck they will be fighting relagation.
Even if SAF manages Liverpool under the current climate he will have the same results as Klopp.
Klopp' biggest mistake was taking over Liverpool, a club that has no money and not an elite club anymore in world football, where pressure to perform is very high, he will not get the time to build a team like he did with Dourtmund.
As far as I am concerned he should have waited until the end of 2015/16 season easily Arsenal a club I think which would suited him perfectly would have come in for him or even with some luck us or Barcelona might have approached him given the managerial changes both clubs went through.
I don't think Liverpool's centre backs are as bad as everyone suggests. They play an open high pressing style which puts a lot of pressure on the defenders. When Lovren was at Southampton he was undoubtedly their best defender (far better than Fonte who was linked with United last season). Matip looks a very good defender too.Is he seriously implying that there are no CB that could have improved Klavan or Lovren? This guy is delusional.
