Deserves to be in here too. Looks like an angry grandmother trying to scare the grandkids without knowing how to.
Exactly, they usually take 50% of shots from outside box and few more from just edge of the box and difficult angles.Not a great stat tbh, Liverpool take a lot of shots from outside the box.
Did you all see him abuse the water bottle there? Call the FA!Deserves to be in here too. Looks like an angry grandmother trying to scare the grandkids without knowing how to.
Feel sorry for his wife, can you imagine...let's not.
Just download meme maker on your Android phone from the play store. Or equivalent on iphone.Got an idea for a Jurgen meme. Who's the best photoshop geek on caf ? I'm too stupid/lazy to learn it that's all.
Honestly if that is what his tactics are then he is a bigger fool than I had imagined. How can he expect other teams to play according to his wishes. No manager will do that.Thing is, having watched a few of Liverpool's matches during this run, there's no way that even half of those chances were clear cut or even taken in the box. I think Klopp is one of the few major managers in the game who prefers his team to take as many shots as possible rather than focusing on creating more clearer cut chances. Obviously with someone like Coutinho in the team it's always worth encouraging long shots, and maybe the lack of height/presence in the box means they can't rely on clear cut chances being created in the same manner Utd (Lukaku), Spurs (Kane), City (Aguero, Jesus) can but looking at this stat in regards to the way Liverpool play as a whole - in particular their defence - it appears so much of their game is invested in their players' own ability, risk and - to a certain extent - chaos. This is best amplified in the total lack of cohesion between their attack and defence; their front line offers practically no defensive cover once the ball is in their own half, and the numbers with which they break will always leave them open to a counter-attack.
They play such an open game that half the time I genuinely believe that Klopp is attempting to nullify the very concept of tactics for both teams on the pitch, in the hope that his players - in this instance - simply prove to be of a better quality. I don't think this is sustainable, nor will it lead to any longstanding success despite being entertaining in its immediacy.
Not only that, he also spilled some water. Someone could have slipped (luckily gerrard is not around) and broken his or her bones.Did you all see him abuse the water bottle there? Call the FA!

Not what he's saying. He's saying criticizing finishing is pointless because it's beyond him. He can't make his players finish their chances instead of missing themTweet

Yup their problem is definitely creating chances and not the finishing.
Klopp said:“I met him once when he was manager of Liverpool, we beat him 5-0 with Mainz,” Klopp said. “Hopefully he remembers that!"
Is it though? Who brought those players in? Who buys the players and selects the squads?Not what he's saying. He's saying criticizing finishing is pointless because it's beyond him. He can't make his players finish their chances instead of missing them
Klopp has been on record in the past stating that he doesn't believe in 'tactics' and that player positions shouldn't be set in stone but rather fluid, which is apt as this Liverpool team is pure piss.They play such an open game that half the time I genuinely believe that Klopp is attempting to nullify the very concept of tactics for both teams on the pitch, in the hope that his players - in this instance - simply prove to be of a better quality.

He raises some good points to be fair.http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/4..._the_day&ns_source=facebook&ns_linkname=sport
Fresh delivery of moaning Klopp.
People were giving Jose stick for us missing countless chances last season about how it's his job to get it sorted. Now that another manager is in a similar situation it's purely down to the players. Okay then.Not what he's saying. He's saying criticizing finishing is pointless because it's beyond him. He can't make his players finish their chances instead of missing them
It is purely down to the players. People giving josé stick for it were just as stupid/clueless as people trying to give stick to Klopp for it. There's no training "finishing", what Klopp can and probably is working on is attacking team-play(creating chances), and confidence(which goes a long way towards improving the players ability to convert their chances), and the former goes a long way towards improving the latter. Liverpool's biggest problem right now is the same as united's last year: a bunch of bad results caused their players to start playing "scared of failing". It's a lot harder to convert a 1vs1 with the keeper when you feel like if you miss it your team's gonna lose the gamePeople were giving Jose stick for us missing countless chances last season about how it's his job to get it sorted.

Because there isn't. Shooting is what you train, and that's different from finishing in an actual game. Finishing is a mental thing as much as a technical one, and there's no way to train that directly. You just can't replicate the same conditions in trainingThat's simply not true. Why do you think there's no training "finishing"?
I agree with your post directly above for the most part, but surely it's the managers job to get the players mentally prepared in the best way possible so they have composure in those moments? You can't train finishing, but you can manage mentality.Because there isn't. Shooting is what you train, and that's different from finishing in an actual game.

But you can hone your technique to such an extent that it becomes second nature. The less you have to think about the actual technique involved in finishing, the more natural it comes to you, the easier it becomes to cope with the mental side of it. Of course you can train and develop finishing skills. Look at Wayne Rooney. Or Dries Mertens.Because there isn't. Shooting is what you train, and that's different from finishing in an actual game.

Do you agree that shooting is an important part of finishing? If yes, your other point is invalid. Maybe shooting isn't everything, but if it's a factor in finishing, then you can practice finishing by practicing shooting. Besides, the manager also influences the mentality of his players.Because there isn't. Shooting is what you train, and that's different from finishing in an actual game.
