Whatttttt? Sourness did but not Keane or Richards?Souness.
Yeah. I thought this might happen. He relies massively on motivational qualities, but that’s so difficult to sustain, and it takes something very special to pull it back, or rebuild it with new players once it starts to wane. It happened with Pep at barca too and he admitted it and left.It surely can't be a coincidence that he's been at two clubs now who have dominated their respective league despite starting as an outsider, got to a CL final with each (winning with Liverpool) but then hitting a massive drop 4-5 years into the job. He builds a drilled and intense pattern of play but it squeezes every ounce of energy out of players, physically and mentally.
They let him call it as he was narrating the clip. He was very fair and is a decent pundit. Called it a dive and lamented that's the modern game.Whatttttt? Sourness did but not Keane or Richards?
Worlds gone mad
No hes always been a prickIsn’t this just classic deflection tactics given how shit his team has been?
Of course, but it's not something you can plan for, especially so early in the knock out rounds.Liverpool and Klopp will be going all out to win the Champions league now.
Yes most will look at their league form and say no chance but Liverpool was less than great in the Premier league in 2005, 2007, 2018 and went on to reach the Champions league final each year.
Yep - they're to be taken cauitiously, as we all remember 2005.Liverpool and Klopp will be going all out to win the Champions league now.

That was also Moyes first season with a new club.Klopp has been managing the same club over 4 years.It's currently the worst points drop off from a defending champion in league history.
But that is of course skewed by their massive haul last season.
However, nothing to say they can't keep losing a lot more games.
From the bestest champions of England eva la to mere top four hopefuls within 6 months.Tweet

Trust Roy Keane to say it how it is

No way they win it with such defense.Liverpool and Klopp will be going all out to win the Champions league now.

Blackburn in 95/96 was pretty bad too.There's no worse title defense than Chelsea 2015 when Mourinho was sacked. They fought relegation during the first half of season and after changing managers barely managed to make it to 10th.
Moyes one is probably second in the list.
They were doing OK today in defence today until the keeper had brain farts.No way they win it with such defense.
Absolutely. Just sick of all the excuses made - by Klopp and the media alike - for supposedly the greatest team ever in the whole wide universe.
Spot on.
Very unfair, it's an unpresented crisis for them to have only 9 of their usual starting 11 available.
Spot on.
Can't think of anything that Roy has said there that I disagree with. City played without Aguero and De Bruyne, who are big losses for them. You've just got to get on with it.
Spot on.
10. VVD in for Jones and that would have been their best XI.Very unfair, it's an unpresented crisis for them to have only 9 of their usual starting 11 available.
TBF, they're both kids, one from the championship and the other from one of the worst defences in Europe. Throwing them on when they first came in wouldn't have made sense, it would have made even less sense to throw them in against a City side that is slapping everyoneI don't understand why they brought in 2 defenders, but refuse to play them.
Surely, with 2 actual defenders in defence and the 2 midfielders currently in defence in midfield, they must be able to do better? Why did he buy them if he doesn't trust them to do a job?
Or am I missing something? I didn't see any of the game.
So, I ask again, why buy 2 defenders neither of which you trust?TBF, they're both kids, one from the championship and the other from one of the worst defences in Europe. Throwing them on when they first came in wouldn't have made sense, it would have made even less sense to throw them in against a City side that is slapping everyone
They'll get some games moving forward. I don't particularly rate either of them that highly though, both will be forgotten once their actual defenders return imo
Ben Davies is 25. That isn't a kid, he's also match sharp albeit in the championship. Surely with games coming in thick & fast, you need him to play. They're not going to have too many training sessions because theirs a game every few daysTBF, they're both kids, one from the championship and the other from one of the worst defences in Europe.

Ben Davies is 25. It was a total panic signing. He probably wont ever play for them and be moved on in the summer.TBF, they're both kids, one from the championship and the other from one of the worst defences in Europe.

It's not a coincidence and it's not a particularity either. Managers rarely have more than 3-4 years of sustained top level success with the same core of players or even club. The exceptions are all time greats like SAF and to be honest I don't even have an obvious name outside of him.It surely can't be a coincidence that he's been at two clubs now who have dominated their respective league despite starting as an outsider, got to a CL final with each (winning with Liverpool) but then hitting a massive drop 4-5 years into the job.

The Klopp Dynasty: 2020 - 2020Is the Liverpool dynasty already over?
Spot on.
They also signed the best CM in the world in ThiagoEven though the best CB in the world is injured, they still had the best GK in the world, the best RB and LB in the world, the best DM in the world albeit playing as CB, the most marvellous midfielder in the world who hits the ball oh ever so differently than other mere mortals, as well as the most feared attacking trident in the world. With so many best players in the world, how are they struggling so much?

Poor attempt at a wum. Don’t know how you’re still ha going aroundWell it hasn’t been a good year for Klopp. We haven’t been the same since covid hit and if we never would have gotten Jota in at the beginning of the season it could be worse. All that aside what an oppurtunity for lesser sides to have a shot at the title. I figure supporters of united must be rooting for Klopp this weekend against City since confidence is so high about winning the title.
Home advantage is pretty much gone now though, no one is scared to play in an empty stadium. We still had the fear factor early on but once a few teams started to get results against us, most realized that you could really get something at Anfield (rightfully so). Of course it's also down to us simply playing really badly but I doubt this happens with a full crowd at Anfield.3 losses in a row at home and no wins in last 5 league games at Anfield. Unreal change from how how good they were at home in last 2-3 years.
