But that is the problem. He was bought as a starting striker for the premium price of one, and he’s not close to that level, which is a pretty big problem for our squad.

How so?

Yeah, probably a great idea to start antagonizing the fans at this point, Erik.

That would mean that he deliberately sabotaged an entire season out of belief that it would be beneficial long-term (even though there have been no signs of things improving thus far). Do you think that is a sound decision?

If that’s true, then how do you excuse him not being able to fix it? It’s been a whole season, and we’re only getting worse.

I’m curious as to why. On the pitch, things are quite a bit worse than at any point under those two, and it’s been 15 months now where we’ve been playing really badly. The team had completely given up yesterday. What would it take for you to feel we were at that same breaking point?

I only need to look at the manager to know we won’t.

This feels like the end, doesn’t it? Surely his position becomes untenable after this.

Would have been controversial if VAR had overturned that one. One of those where the on-field decision determines the outcome. For me it was a foul.

Kicker is a decent source for German football.

In Football Manager?

It’s incredible how much context his disciples are ready to take into account when it comes to injuries and that elusive “structure” (even they don’t know what they actually mean when they say it), yet the context of us having had the easiest draw in history in the league cup winning run, and...

Imagine them being down 0-1 with five minutes left against Roma, on their way to a European final with a one-goal aggregate lead, but their fans urging them to attack in order to maintain the invincible record. Would be a fun scenario.

Klopp won one league title and will (rightfully) be remembered as one of the best managers in Premier League history, with his Liverpool side being up there with the best ever in the tournament. Basically, the only real hope against this City side is that they have a below-par season. If you get...

They’re probably gonna get 89 points this season. You basically can’t do better than that. They just happen to be up against by far the best team in English football history (cheat codes helping). You’d have to have an extremely narrow view of football to look at that and go: BUT NO TROPHIES...
