Is Jurgen Klopp the German Brendan Rodgers?

[TwoSheds]

Team used to be quite good when they had a decent striker, blathers on about "philosophy","the group" etc (probably), the press / fans who talk about diamond formations and false 9s tossed themselves off over him but are now strangely quiet...

What say ye, Caf?

No.

You realise every one of those things applies to Louis Van Gaal right?

My thoughts somehow echo this sentiment.

 

[Mad Winger]

No.

He's still setting records in Europe, and the season is still young in Germany. They will make top 4 and run over any team in Europe, until they meet one of the 4-5 best teams in the world. They can easily beat any of these teams too, but they'll at least struggle a bit.

If Brendan Rodgers won cups, league titles and reached Champions League finals, then yeah, he'd be similar to Brendan Rodgers.

 

[kotha]

No,I don't think they are anywhere similar.. The first major difference is Klopp has actually won the Bundesliga twice as well as the German cup.. While Rodgers still hasn't won anything..

 

[TwoSheds]

Yeah but the German league is a bit Mickey mouse. Fecking Augsburg are 7th!

 

[2 man midfield]

This will end well.

RIP thread.

 

[BobbyManc]

Yeah. That two-time Bundesliga-winning and Champions League runners up manager is definitely just a German version of ex-Watford and Reading manager Brendan Rodgers.

 

[Cheesy]

He's had one terrible start to the season following what was a mildly disappointing season for them, yet it seems that some are completely writing him off now, forgetting his incredible early success.

To be fair, the same could be said for writing off Rodgers who, while nowhere near as successful as Klopp, has done well with Liverpool himself and is experiencing a rough patch right now. Of course, that patch could grow like a wet patch on Ralph Wiggums, but it's too early to completely cast him off yet, as it was with Klopp who I still believe is one of the best managers in football.

Just please close the thread and accept the internet has defeated you.

LAWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[cesc's_mullet]

I think the real question here is - is TwoSheds for real?

 

[BobbyManc]

Now seems an apt time for my thread about why Zinedine Zidane was basically just a French version of Leon Osman.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

You mean if we don't count the titles he's won?

 

[BigDunc9]

Two Sheds ? All the better to hide away from the internet for a week.

Wiser words have not been typed on the Caf today

Osman has become the go to guy when comparing good players to average ones. I blame Moyes.

 

[Zoo]

I know even Kagawa looks good in that league!

 

[kouroux]

Terrible thread, Klopp actually won things and got his team to a CL final. What the feck has Rodgers achieved ?

 

[Chesterlestreet]

Does Klopp actually go on about "philosophy" that much?

 

[amolbhatia50k]

If he chooses arsenal he is.

 

[BobbyManc]

That's actually so true. I think it's because he is like the pick of the bunch out of all the average players in the league. So it is basically a back-handed complement.

 

[Chesterlestreet]

On another note, Brentan really should spring for a pair of glasses - look more scholarly, like.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

He sure is.

 

[Robbie Boy]

This thread is quality. Yes, Klopp is totes m'goats Brentan in disguise.

 

[Kostur]

God why would you compare somebody who's won German cup, league titles and made it to the CL final to a fecking knob who's won feck all?

 

[Clas Sified]

WUM?

 

[Balu]

Not that I know of, he likes to talk about heavy metal instead.

 

[MTR]

I thought that Klopp has actually won something. And built teams from the scratch...

 

[Chesterlestreet]

Not that I know of, he likes to talk about heavy metal instead.

Yeah, that's my impression too.

Wonder if Brentan has Reign In Blood on his Ipod.
