Champions League - Group Stage R5 - Tues 21st & Wed 22nd November

Andy Robertson must be watching on in disbelief.
 
A lot of blame for Liverpool´s inability to defend has to go to Klopp´s tactical inflexibility. They do not want or cannot retain any possession, when up. This is a tactical and a collective issue. The midfield and attack cannot hold off any pressure on the stupid defenders. Pep´s best trick at Barcelona and City has been to keep the ball away from the defense.
This is all true but I think you are underestimating just how difficult that is. It is probably the most difficult way of defending there is. Pep is one of the best managers ever and he still needed midfielders of the calibre of Busquets, Alonso and Xavi to hold off possession that effectively. Maybe Klopp is being too ambitious but the point remains it is more than just a trick.
 
Napoli dominant in the second half. They're picking the ukrainians apart
 
Bartra is so shit. Him and Bürki are just an outstanding combo.
 
So Pep waxing lyrical about Napoli and football and blah blah blah ... standing these results, will he help them with a win in Donetsk?
 
Absolutely zero ability to manage a game.

Also not willing to. Nobody is ever trying to keep possession, milk the clock, draw fouls. They give the ball away so easily by rushing everything.
 
I know he did well to get Ajax to the Europa final last season but they were so poor in the game. It was the easiest game we'd had all season, I was very surprised Dortmund went after him.
He just doesn't know the meaning of defending. It's ok in Holland, not elsewhere.

Yeah, he seems like one of those principled managers, no tactical flexibility at all.
