Donatello Posted 5 October, 2015 Author Share Posted 5 October, 2015 I dont hate liverpool, actually have a bit of a soft spot for the club, but i do hate brendan, and i hated them while he was in charge. Same here. I feel less animosity towards Liverpool now, which makes it sound so trivial, but F it. Edit: To clarify, I don't have a soft spot for the club.

Donatello Posted 5 October, 2015 Author Share Posted 5 October, 2015 (edited) Reference Klopp, wasn't he Man City's first choice for next year? (difficult to pull of if City win the league, admittedly) His pedigree is clearly higher than that of Liverpool (current Liverpool, spare me the historical nonsense ), so if Liverpool manage to sign him that's quite a coup, no? Edit: "pedigree", 'stock' would've been a more appropriate term. Edited 5 October, 2015 by Donatello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donatello Posted 5 October, 2015 Author Share Posted 5 October, 2015 (edited) I think City have always had a longing for Pep Guardiola. Yes! That was it. Cheers. D'oh. Still, Klopp is probably On the radar of each Top 4 club. He's probably short-changing himself by going/if he goes to Liverpool, but it's an enticing challenge too (breaking into Top 4).

When the Saints have no problem with Koeman leaving I guess he will go when Liverpool knocks on the door. When the Saints don't want him to leave it won't be a problem for Koeman as he is very happy in Southampton and he will get a new challenge at some other club (or country) when his current contract expires. But that's not going to happen as Liverpool will go after Klopp or Ancelotti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally_uk Posted 7 October, 2015 Share Posted 7 October, 2015 Sacked good! maybe we can keep some of our players then. Thing I do not understand is Bodgers has a fetish with signing attacking players but even with the attacking talent such as Firminho he still cannot get the team to perform. Out of his depth........

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 8 October, 2015 Share Posted 8 October, 2015 Klopp has signed a three-year deal in Germany and is on his way to Liverpool for his presentation, according to German news organisations. I suspect Liverpool will get a lift from his arrival but without an established (well, performing) club structure behind him it will be interesting to see how that impacts on the effectiveness of his management style.

eddie Posted 8 October, 2015 Share Posted 8 October, 2015 (edited) I'm surprised he lasted this long, actually. Either he plays the PR game like a hero, and is completely different behind the scenes, or he really, genuinely is as poor at analyzing his own play/setup as he comes across in interviews. The whole deluded brendan thing is spot on, he sounded like he had no idea what was wrong, no idea what playing well meant, very little criticism of his players even after unacceptable defeats. He gets rid of andy carroll because they play a differnet system (the whole 'we're playing like barcelona now and don't need a target man') and then buys benteke for the exact reason he let carroll go. He buys defender after defender for ridiculous sums of money and seems not to be held to account for them. Don't understand how someone can spend that much on players like lovren, ings, firmino, borini, aspas, markovich etc. and then just fail to alter the team, or instead play them out of position, or else not play them at all. I actually have no opposition to him as a saints fan, I think he is right about saints not being forced to sell. I don't hold a grudge against him for 'taking our players' - we sold him lovren and bought virgil van dijk + still have c 6mill remaining to throw about/reinvest. Is anyone bothered? I think his treatment of players like SRL was fairly poor, but then that's just my wider opposition to him as a coach. He is either a puppet in a terrible system, or he really is that bad at man management and giving people confidence. I think what he has done for players I really like (Ings for goodness sake) is where I have more beef with him. Liverpool for all their annoying fans are a historic english club and I for one (although obviously I want soton to smash them at every opportunity) wouldn't mind them doing a little better. I'd say if anything we are demonstrating we're more astute about sustainably progressing toward champions league than brendan's liverpool are. Obviously they are already a CL club, but in terms of plan and strategy and thinking clearly about how we get (or in their case stay) in, I think we're actually doing pretty well Edited 8 October, 2015 by eddie something needed editing..

FloridaMarlin Posted 8 October, 2015 Share Posted 8 October, 2015 nailed on defeat for us then I might have agreed a couple of years ago, but I think that under Koeman we are made of sterner stuff. There's nothing he would take greater delight in that going to Anfield and making Klopp's first game there a nightmare, and putting pressure on him from the word go. There's a lot said about players getting a lift from the appointment of a new manager, but the pressure on players to perform for a new manager can work against them.

van Hanegem Posted 8 October, 2015 Share Posted 8 October, 2015 Guardiola hasn't proven anything there. He joined treble winners and just kept winning a league which had become far easier. I wouldn't say that the Bundesliga has become far easier. It's just that Bayern has joined the level of Barcelona and Madrid, with the team they had last year and the way they played, they would be champions in the PL easily too.

angelman Posted 9 October, 2015 Share Posted 9 October, 2015 To be fair to the Pool fans, the media is dribbling over themselves from all orifices when it comes to Klopp, so it might be understandable that they get carried away with things. It's a quietish week for them and they like to over egg things to levels that become delusionally boring, something that they seem to do an awful lot with Liverpool. But managing the second biggest club in Germany (or biggest by crowd) and coming 1st twice, 2nd twice, 5h, 6th and 7th is, while a job well done (apart from the 5th, 6th and 7th) is hardly surprising or earth shattering. Nor is it out of the ordinary for Dortmund. They won the Bundesliga in 94/95 and 95/96, and the Champions League in 96/97 while being semi finalists in 97/98. As for his record with Dortmund, given that the German leagues are even less competitive than ours, with the same 3 or 4 teams always dominating, a record of played 318, won 179, draw 69, lost 70 might not be as good as it could have been. Anyway, no doubt they will tonk us when we go up there and he will be proven to be rather good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
