As great as the man is he should have no role whatsoever in future appointments. Fears Klopp and rates him (naturally), but chooses Moyes and keeps pushing the Giggs cause.
Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I don't understand. He said similar things about Mourinho last season. Keeps talking about the impact all these top managers will have, then pushes the Giggs agenda.
He has arrived
Pulis has got to him already. Cue the Pulis laughing gif...
If you look at his results as a whole, he's actually been pretty poor so far. Two exceptional performances obscure the fact he's struggled against basically everyone else.
They'd be in a similar position if they'd stuck with Rodgers.

Both him and Rodgers have 12 points from 8 games. Both have had a very similar set of fixtures in terms of difficulty.
Klopp getting an easy ride there, it was all over the back pages when Wenger refused to shake a managers hand.
seen the same happen in the Bundesliga for years, one of my reasons for disliking him. He used to lash out at referees, opp. managers, pundits, more or less everyone, and no one seemd to take any notice, because he's fresh and original in press conferences or something.
IMO Rodgers had even a harder set of fixtures.
Well, except for the Springer press (BILD, etc.), which used each of these situations to paint Klopp as an absolute maniac, even going as far as citing him as one of the influences of teenage violence as he presented such a poor role model.
I´m not going to excuse this behaviour. His tendency to let his emotions get the better off him during and shortly after the games is probably his biggest flaw as manager, but stating that no one took any notice, when tv stations hired psychologists to analyze his facial expressions and movements and the yellow press had a field day every time this happened, is just plain wrong.
He is a maniac. Just watch The way he talks in interviews.
Clearly repressing some sort of psychotic rage.
Has he made them believe yet?
I love Pulis.Klopp was ridiculous. That said I can't fecking stand Pulis. His shithouse tactics, his endless screaming at his players on the sidelines, that stupid cap he always wears, everything about him is shit. I wish he'd just feck off.
Team Pulis.
And one of those was against Chelsea. See Bournemouth, Leicester, Stoke, West Ham, Palace, etc for further examples of why this fixture means nothing this season.
Except now when they'll be much harder to beat when we play them. Thanks for that, Jose.
I actually don't mind Pulis. His teams play dull football but seems a strong-headed confident, determined chap who doesn't take crap from the likes of Wenger, Klopp etc.
Say what you want about Pulis but The likes of Wenger and Klopp don't have the right to pontificate to him about how football should be played. Klopp even refused to shake his hand.
Don't know about Bild, avoid reading their stuff as much as possible, never had the impression they put a marker on his back like they did with van Bommel or others.
Most of the media let him get away with anything. Hard to imagine what would have happened if Meier or Frontzeck would do half as much as Klopp did.
i just remember one occasion when he accused the opposition bench of time play for not "throwing a ball back fast enough" and continued to do so even after the other manager hat apologized. Just bad style. Village Mourinho
And as much as i hate that "bad influence" shit, i can't help to wonder what an average youth coach can do to teach his boys to accept what the referee decides and not to complain, when one of the most prominent figures in the game with hours and hours of TV coverage does just the opposite every second game and gets away with it.

Klopp's not so hipster anymore..that died when he joined us. 'Team Pulis' guys yeah! The guy's a twat end of. His sarcastic apology was pathetic trying to be funny with `'I'm really sorry.. if I had 200m..' Well you don't and you never will. The day this painted up miracle worker all bottom clubs turn to gets the sack and takes his never-been-relegated myth tag with him the better. Stoke were right to move on from this fool.
Well he wound you up nice and proper.Feck me, Pulis causes mass meltdown amongst anyone of anything to do with Liverpool.
Fact is, Pulis exposed Klopp is nothing more than a Brendan Rodgers with shitter facial expressions and yellower teeth.
Meh, what I'm really waiting to hear is how g.r.e.a.t. Rafa really was in reality. Once its announced he's joining Utd that is.
Heh.
Pulis is getting to him, a good rebuttal backed up with actual stats.
F*cking hell. Is there something in the water in Liverpool that turns people into a bellend by default? Klopp's transforming...
Not such a jovial, charismatic German giant are you, Jurgen? Yet the Koppites and the media will lap up your over-exuberant celebrations and laps of honour for draws against mid-table teams like tramps on chips. Dick.
Yes, I'm still slightly bitter he's at Liverpool.
How did he deal with defensive teams in Germany? Did he adapt his style or just rely on creative players to unlock them?
Fecking hell, Pulis has him by the stones.
With all the players coming and going there were always some changes here and there, but in general would defiitely tend to the latter, because he never really moved towards a patient posession heavy approach.
Not that we wouldn't see this before in the premier league from certain individuals but I get the point that Klopp escapes some attention with his early issues.
Until Mark Fecking Hughes comes along and does it better.
Spot on. Pulis is a fraud, lapped up by the dinosaurs of British football.
Tell us what you really feel.
I think both views of Pulis are legitimate here, he is what he is & his teams will play 'orrible footy with a physical element, worse than an Allardyce XI for how they get 'stuck in' possibly. (Liverpool were also getting stuck in so the whining about Gardne'rs possibly slightly naughty 50/50 on Lovren is a bit much coming from a fanbase who thought Carragher almost completely deliberately slicing open Nani's leg & the Nani reaction to this was hilarious. Has Lovren stopped squealing yet, btw?)
Anyway...
But Pulis consistently gets results to a certain level & the Big Clubs, & the supporters of the Big Clubs don't like it - and rightly so really, cos it's shit on a stick to watch usually, innit. ''oh but there was a little bit of football'' - well, there will be, you've get your corners & free kick restarts in their final 1/3 somehow, haven't you?

Hmm, it'll be interesting to see how he does with a couple of transfer windows behind him. There seem to be more teams willing to park the bus in the Premier League going by my extremely limited and probably incorrect knowledge of the Bundesliga. Thanks for the info.
