@Alex   I also like everything you say. There are journalists (and in general, the popular voice) who have spoken in recent years of PSG and Manchester City as an illegal team without r

I dunno, he's accomplished what seemed impossible for Liverpool under FSG if you ask me. I thought he was getting found out just after he fell out with his sidekick Buvac, but then he kept winning big trohpys and reaching finals. After a while I had to just accept he wasn't just milking the Buvac playbook anymore. 

 

Some of the football they played when he arrived was batshit mental and incredibly entertaining. A lot like Postecoglu at Celtic. Mad shit like signing Steven Caulker and playing him as a Striker. Just tearing up the rulebook, but that was all Buvac in my eyes.

 

I'm convinced Klopp was just as surprised as everyone else that theyre top of the league right now after last season and is wisely getting out while his reputation is still mostly intact. 

 

Fair play to him. He's kept Pep on his toes for the best part of a decade and humiliated Man U a good few times. For that alone he gets a bye from me.

It was a friendly and he was having some fun, you have to admire the bravery, the will to entertain the people of the world, the cajones that you dont have and will never have ya chinese mouse.

I use a browser for twitter cos the app is shite. And I go to twitter.com rather than x. 

 

Then, instead of using the share button, I just copy the url for the tweet. You have to click into the tweet, you can't just share from your timeline, but that's how I do it. 

Whereas this old man manages to copy the link in the app and paste it here without any issues. 🙂

I am going to separate Klopp the coach from Klopp the person.

 

In short, I have not liked how Klopp has evolved in recent years. I have seen him belittle other rivals and complain more than normal (something that I don't think happened in his first years at Liverpool or Dortmund).

 

Now, on the pitch... We must recognize that he is one of the best coaches of the last 15 years. Always being on top. His Dortmund played like the Angels and he came to Liverpool to overcome a great mental obstacle of 30 years without winning the Premier League.

 

It is true that he has been there for 9 years and has only achieved one League (and 2 runners-up), but he has practically always been fighting for it. He has put Liverpool back in the Big Four in a row and leaves with 6 Cup titles, a Europa League final and the icing on the cake of the Champions League.

 

And all this with squads in which he had a good XI, but he barely had good players on the bench to maintain the level. And every two years fighting for two months without his two best players (Salah and Mané) for the Africa Cup...

 

And always considering that he had to fight against Manchester City (and Chelsea) that he had Guardiola and that he had an unlimited amount of money and ability to sign players like Grealish to be substitutes.

He inherited a squad with Coutinho, Henderson, Milner, Firminho, Sturridge, Can, Lallana, Toure, Skrtel etc and then spent another £800mil

 

Not saying he hasn't done well, but minor comps aside he's won 1 FA cup, 1 league cup, 1 PL and 1 CL in 8 seasons. Pep won 75% of those last season.
 

Klopp is well behind Fergie, Pep, Mourinho and Wenger in the list for me

It's fucking nailed on for them to get to the FA cup final for his last domestic game and an unbearable wankfest will ensue. Be typical if we got there too, no way the powers will countenance anything but a Klopp swansong victory.

 

I fucking hate those Scouse cunts more than any other team.

Nailed on they get Maidstone after the FA told Ten Nonce he's been overruled.

I used to work with a lad who supported Liverpool, they had a slightly sticky patch and he thought he needed to go not too long ago, was full of it of course when they picked up. Glory hunting fan, disliked us more than Man U. Will probably be wearing a black armband now. Could be a decent enough kid at times but was generally a bit useless and a bit of a knacker.
