Seen this thread about but haven't jumped in til today.
Hi!
Hi!
Dippers to top the league by New Year?
- Thread starter Livewire1974
- Start date
United fans to sack Klopp from their "wanted list" after this defeat?
Well, don't we all feel a little silly?... me included.
I think we all lost the run of ourselves a little for a minute there. We'd make good scousers!
Yep. Liverpool may be "Liverpool Football Club" but their players aren't that good and while they have the best manager in the league (imo), he can't take them from 5th to 1st in less than half a season. They will challenge for 4th with Spurs while the title is reserved for the least sh!te of Arsenal, City and us.
Will continue to put Firmino as captain in my Fantasy Football team
I thought Firmino was meant to be the best thing since slice bread after the City game?
As I said in response to the idea Liverpool will challenge for the title. It's as though people were allowing legitimate concerns about Van Gaal turn into compliments for Liverpool. I didn't say the above just because I can't stand Liverpool; I said it because it's actually true.
Only just saw this thread. Was too big an overreaction to a few good performances. They'll probably challenge for top four but they are still plagued by inconsistency, just like the rest of the league.
9 points now mate. It was 6 when Klopp took over though.
I think this over-reaction isn't just cos Liverpool fans got ahead of themselves, but the media was dying to get it's "Liverpool are back" narrative moving.
In other news, they're seemingly not bored with the "United are boring" narrative either. I'm pretty sure it's not for that to be announced as a fact on 5 Live! As a match-going United fan, I think I'm entitled to draw those sorts of conclusions. Anyhow, if we had anyone who could finish, I think things would be very different.
(See also "Leicester are amazing" narrative, which could easily be a "the strength of the top 4 is crap" story)

It was the majority of the United fans who were shitting themselves after our midweek game at Southampton who got ahead of themselves, not the Liverpool fans on here.
I think Coutinho is so key to them in attack - their Silva
Also, Klopp's teams tend to do better in the "difficult" fixtures where they can counter attack rather than the "easier" ones where they have to break the opposition down

This is sad but true.
Am I too late to join the party?
Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool Football Club.
It's not entirely true. The media started creaming themselves, and by reports of people on here, most Liverpool fans did as well.
As for the Utd fans on here, they've become incredible drama queens so it's not that shocking. But it's not true that only Utd fans started that narrative after the Saints game.
Given that a United fan started this thread, it's clear that there's now an element on here that adore Klopp. It's sad, really sad actually. The whole Klopp-love-in is media driven but there's also a-lot of pandering on here, too.
scousers have been quick with their excuses about injured players. Newcastle head the injuries table fyi. 
Truer words never spoken
I meant generally, not so much on here. Any United fans getting worried at that want their heads seeing to!
Like I said about narratives, a couple of wins & the pundits will be giving you all the cups. They'll then take 'em off you 3 days later after a bad result!
Seems you and Fergie are on different wave-lengths then
Sir Alex Ferguson is in no doubt that Jurgen Klopp will produce a huge upturn in Liverpool'sfortunes.
Former Manchester United manager Ferguson, who led the Red Devils to 13 Premier League titles and five FA Cups, says he does not want to see the Anfield side successful but finds it hard to speak negatively about the former Borussia Dortmund boss.
The 73-year-old has been impressed by Klopp's personality and is confident there will be a big impact at Liverpool.
"I am worried about him because the one thing United do not want is Liverpool to get above us," he said at the TechCrunch Disrupt London event.
"I know him quite well from the coaching seminars. He is going to make a difference at that club with his personality, drive and knowledge. Things are looking up there.
"He is a fantastic personality, with those big white teeth always showing. Even at Newcastle when they lost the second goal he goes over to Steve McClaren to congratulate him. That is class, that. And the work he did at Borussia Dortmund."
True. But it's important to look at the big picture and not a single person could tell you we are worse off than with Rodgers in charge. Yes yesterday was horrible, it was one of those matches were you knew what was going to happen after 10 mins and we were just waiting for the car crash (got to feel sorry for Moreno though, lovely goal that would've looked hie on his CV).
However it's important to look at the progress and not get carried away one way or the other, Rodgers' had 3 wins (in 9) in the PL this season; Stoke, Bournemouth and Villa, Klopp's (in 6 matches) are Chelsea, Man City and Swansea. It's inevitable that there are going to be hiccups along the way as it's a learning curve for both team and manager. I do like how he calls it like it was after each match though .. none of the BS we'd get from Rodgers or worse still Hodgson. When we were shite that's what he states, unequivocally.
You haven't been better against shitty oppo than under BR, though. Ridiculously much better v better teams on the other hand. But, again, Klopps critics always said those matches were his strengths and buses not so much. Good to know there are a lot of buses in the Pl when facing the top teams
Very well said. The quality of the premier league is pretty shit at the moment.

I don't think Fergie is necessarily talking about this season, in the long term yes Klopp will no doubt improve Pool vastly
Ferguson is clueless. Teams have worked Klopp out. Now and in the future. I hope we can get Pep in the summer.
Bit knee jerk there mate
Have teams not worked Pep out also?
Yes he walks the Bundesliga but the CL hasn't been pretty..
Well done OP.Got to credit the OP for one of the greatest jinxes.
Their squad is so bad.
lolol
Top class feckery, op.
Hehe
They will indeed.
Good stuff. Will be surprised if they beat Leicester with the form both teams are in.
Top of the alternative league table, and that's all that fuchen matters laaa.
So, just to clarify, you think that LFC will be top of the table on New Years Day?
Next time I suggest you follow your own advice.
A bigger jokes than us. But, obviously, the premier league is still really tough?
