It is. But keep it a secret, whenever I mention I'm not a staunch Klopp worshipper or give my opinion on his faults as I see them I get hunted down by his minions
I also can't bear to watch his press conferences or at pitchside either, he makes me cringe.Who was doing the battering?
Joey Barton.
About time.
How do you manage to be wrong in almost every sentence?
Set piece specialists.
I agree to an extent, but feel their fans overstate his influence and qualities. He's a good coach, but I'm happy with him managing them and don't foresee any sort of threat with him in charge. I'd get a bit nervous if they appointed Simeone or Ancelotti, but suspect Liverpool are miles away from the type of team either of those would look at.
Hold the phone, you'd be more worried about us if we appointed one of the best managers in the world? Shocker.
Yes, because they are elite. Klopp is the level below and thus his presence at Liverpool is fine by me.
While the aim should be for Liverpool to win the title, I'd argue that him getting top four again and making that a more consistent achievement wouldn't be a particularly awful season for them - with the exception of in 2013/14, they've mostly been lingering between 6th-8th for the past half-decade. Obviously any ambitious Liverpool fan will be hoping for a title challenge, but I don't think he's done a terrible job if he solidifies top four. That's a big if of course, though; not sure they'll make it, albeit it'll be hard to form full opinions on the big sides until we're a bit into the season.
Remember Jurgen, the most important respect to have is self-respect - go now with your self-respect fully in place. Go on Jurgen, walk now, and walk far (alone)
Is your defence going to magically become better?
A signing or two would help. In any case, it did well enough to get us into fourth last season.
Accuses people of being biased and delusional.
Wtf did I just read ?
There's no chance that Sanchez/Rose would go to Liverpool.
What's your assessment based on?
They basically have the same team that blew top teams away last season, klopp has had an extra year more to adjust to the league, mane won't be going anywhere from january to february, by the looks of it, even coutinho would stay. They added salah, looks good, defensive frailties aside, they are now very good. Alot depends on europe and getting the defenders in though. We substituted a 25 goal striker with another, and added a midfield steel, and many of us already assumed a decent title challenge, why can't they?
Also the same team that lost to Burnley, Bournemouth, Swansea, Hull, Southampton etc.
I'd prefer Liverpool qualified to be honest.
Me too. I enjoyed our Europa League run the other year and our victores over Utd and Dortmund were special nights but I prefer the Champions League theme tune to the Europa one. And I hate Thursday night football as well
Passive aggressive, nice.
How can you say "defensive frailties aside" as if it means nothing? It's a huge problem. It's the reason they won't compete for the title.
I take it you didn't see the Watford game?
Because we obviously punched below our weight whereas they played about as good as their team ever will. Bullshit they are very good. Most of their players wouldn't stand out if they played for a mid-table club. Oh, hold on...
Not really is it.. can't you tell that it was a tongue in cheek post? Clearly I would love us to be back in the Champions League but saying that, those Europa matches against you and Dortmund were special nights that we haven't seen at Anfield for quite a long time now
All good
If you don't qualify do you go into Europa League?
I've seen nothing in three seasons in charge to change my opinion of him. Your ham-fisted attempt at a defence wasn't convincing either. Yourself and Klopp seem quite compatible.
but I don't know why he had to mention it now. If anything he should have mentioned it when we are gearing up to face you lot in Sep.
