Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch

[Maluco]

Shaw, Lindelof, Bailly, Wan Bissaka, Matic, Mata, Van de Beek, Pogba, Sancho and Martial is pretty pricey.

That’s true, although some of those are stretching back a fair bit and Shaw and Sancho would be nailed on starters in a normal eleven (their subs would be Telles and probably Lingard in a “normal” 4-2-3-1, not a Mendy or a Ferran)

But yeah, United have been terribly run for so many years, so some points have to be given to how well City have spent. Where they technically started from and how much they spent has been absurd though.

Aside from Pogba and Lindelof, those signings have been bad most of the time for United.

So it's not all about the money, Pep scouting would have done a better job than what United managers did in the last 10 years.

Yeah, in a normal world you would expect four or five of those to be starters. City started from a higher point and have successfully rebuilt without skipping a beat. Us on the other hand...

Yeah it's a combination of poor recruitment and poor coaching in comparison to our rivals.

And even then, we have three center backs that have played at a higher standard than Lindelof and god knows how many midfielders who have outperformed Pogba over the last eighteen months.

You’ve also gone through your share of shit CBs to get there though.

 

[GaryLifo]

With an equal budget I think Klopp would win more titles than Pep.

Thank feck he's been financially under supported.

Off to wash my mouth out now.

Others in squad: Youth Players.

City's squad depth is vastly over estimated. They have a fantastic 14/15 players but in a few positions don't even have a reliable under study at all and relation on cross-positional players. And of their back up players really only a couple are big money transfers.

Out of the players who aren’t listed are Ferran Torres and a left back who is being sent down for rape.

I really doubt many of the City CBs would be very successful at United. But I think Lindelof would’ve been succesful at City.

Premier League immediately award Liverpool a penalty against Chelsea.

 

[Cheech Wizard]

Just close the training ground for goodness sake that usually seems to be the go to thing that forces the PL’s hand to cancel games.

how many cases you got ?

 

[Cheech Wizard]

how many cases you got ?

Not sure now but 3 confirmed players and some backrooom staff and if Klopps now positive there’s possibly more with late testing.

 

[taribhumpu]

Wow now Klopp is COVID positive

 

[Hester_manc]

Klopp is not a young man anymore, and I hope he gets well soon. Football is important, but health is another talk.

Harry Kane LOLs at this humour.

Would probably claim the goal after as well

 

[Josh 76]

He shouldn’t get too close to referees !

 

[djembatheking]

No need to cancel then, squad can easily cope with the loss of 3 players.

 

[PoTMS]

There's been no more positive cases in the Liverpool squad bar the 3 aforementioned ones. The match will go ahead unless they report more tomorrow.

 

[Silverman]

He's fully vaccinated so hopefully wont be long recovering.

 

[Hastar]

It was a bit baffling seeing Salah start away to Milan. Certain games where such players should not start, or should be taken off once a certain goal margin is reached.

2.8 mil for each UCL win.
We do try to squeeze money from every possible avenue.

Sounds hectic.

Can't believe how @Hectic manages to weasel himself into every conversation.

He's gonna Cape Fear me now.

How dare a team go to Anfield and not play it into the hands of the dippers!

 

[Suedesi]

He's a winner, and he's obviously hurt at the dropped points. Nothing wrong with that. I like Klopp, he's got a forceful and winning personality. I hope he just wins the League Cup this year.

 

[Klopper76]

He also said that he acknowledges that it’s his problem that he doesn’t like that kind of football.

 

[SuperiorXI]

I hope tonight he stands on lego to compound the misery.

Christ. The passive aggression at the end of that interview

 

[Spaghetti]

Maybe they would play more if they weren’t fouled every time they touched the ball.

Their tactic of overloading the attack and then fouling when they lose the ball is clearly effective, but they can’t then moan than the other team doesn’t play with the ball more. Spurs tried.

He's a massive wanker.

 

[RedChisel]

What is it about that club and that city that turns people into such paranoid unlikeable tossbags?

 

[criticalanalysis]

Didn't they do similar against them in the Champions League final?

His whining when things don't go his way is annoying as feck but its smart as it diverts attention from his own teams' failures to supposedly unsportsmanlike manner in which his opponents played.

Agreed, and Fergie was the master of this too. SAF would say similar after dropping points in games we were expected to win. "He could've killed him", "just a wee club from the north east" etc. Fergie was the pettiest of sore losers, just like Klopp. Rightly so.

He's a knob, but not for what he said today, IMO.
