To be fair this 'they wanted to win, we wanted to play football' kind of reminds me of the 'Hazard would have more goals if he wanted but he rather wants to dribble' bullshit spouted by Chelsea fans some time ago.
Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
He's disturbingly loathsome. A born loser at the right club to accommodate him
Actually that was said by Hazard himself if I remember correctly.
Christ, even worse.
That's his quotes. He doesn't say he wants to dribble but definitely that he can score goals like Messi and Ronaldo but doesn't want to:
"I often ask myself what I can do to become like Messi and Ronaldo and score 50 or 60 goals in a season," he told Sport/Foot Magazine.
"I try of course but I realise that I will never be a true scorer. It's not in me. It is mainly mental.
"At 2-0, not thinking that is enough for example. Sometimes I still think after a goal, 'that's enough.'
"I'm not in search of records like some other players -- if I can score between 15 and 20 goals each season, I will be very happy.
"I'm at a peak of my career but I want to become even better every day. I'm not there yet."

He's hardly saying he could score more if he wanted to. He's pretty much saying he doesn't have it in him to score more.
most didn't dislike him even *when* he became Liverpool manager:
Let's be honest his comments can be annoying if he manages your rival club. I'm pretty sure you weren't his biggest fan either when he was still managing Dortmund. Some of your fans on here were really hating him during that time already.
I also feel this board sometimes goes over the top about everything that he is saying but it's somewhat understandable as he manages the club which most Manchester United fans on here hate the most.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that opinions on managers change depending on who they manage.
Have German based fans always saw what we are seeing now?
So what does "its mainly mental" and "Sometimes I still think after a goal, 'that's enough." mean?
Nah most people in Germany actually liked him unless they were Bayern fans. It's the same dynamic as here with us this time, rival clubs and he is good at riling people up.
Have a feeling Hoffenheim will dick them out of Europe.
Can't wait for the meltdown if that happens.

The wind will take care of that.
Hard to find a german with a neutral stance here
Understandably, everyone who is not a Bayern supporter was happy about BVB giving us a run for our money. This created a situation where mediagenic, witty, charming Kloppo could get away with murder. The whining, excuse-making and lashing out at everyone when things didn't go his way were always there for anyone caring to watch. Not many did.
Kudos, me friend, kudos to you!
Cheers!

I think everyone noticed it there were just two different reactions to it.
Bayern fans: "Look at this bitter cnut of a sore loser."
Dortmund fans: "He just hates loosing, I can totally feel him."
Neutrals: "Who gives a shit, let's get back to supporting Real and hope they can wipe the floor with Bayern."
"August is too late to play like this. Play FOOKIN FOOTBALL"
Klopp hinting Liverpool might be finished in the transfer market.
Classic Klopp, keeping expectations low.

Did he have a snide remark about Athletic?
Sounds like Jurgen.
It's Klopp.
I was going to reply to you saying that he never said that, then you brought the quote yourself but you still misinterpreted it.That's his quotes. He doesn't say he wants to dribble but definitely that he can score goals like Messi and Ronaldo but doesn't want to:
"I often ask myself what I can do to become like Messi and Ronaldo and score 50 or 60 goals in a season," he told Sport/Foot Magazine.

"I'm not in search of records like some other players -- if I can score between 15 and 20 goals each season, I will be very happy.
"I'm at a peak of my career but I want to become even better every day. I'm not there yet."
Nowhere does he say nor implied that he could do it if he wanted to. He's basically saying the opposite, he's humbly acknowledging that he doesn't have that ability in him to score that ridiculous amount of goals like the other 2.
I never understood the hype about him even when he was at Dortmund. I always wonder if he was doing well in Dortmund during his last season, would he have left? Why did he leave Dortmund? It's cowardice and irresponsible of him to leave them when he left them languishing in 7th and they had their worst season. Says a lot about his character and this is why I don't get why his stock was still so high after he left. He is the epitome of a specialist in losing cup finals. Even Wenger and Benitez have a better cup final record than him. I'm pretty sure if you put Benitez in charge of Liverpool's recent cup finals, he would have won. Klopp is an overrated maniac who makes up for his tactic deficiency with his whole hipster vibe.
I highly doubt so. My Dad is a Bayern fan and he loves him, it seems that most Bayern fans on here always defend him as well.
Klopp is proably a nice guy as a manger he is definitely overrated. Not saying he isn't good but Liverpool fans pretend that he is a world class tactician. Klopp has no clue on how to unlock a defense unless they are just wide open. He has one way of playing and that's pressing which against a big team may work but over a competitive 30 plus game season doesn't. That's why he always gets injuries and when a team has a small squad like Liverppol does, you need a plan b to allow rest othwerwise you fall.
Klopp will never win the premier league with Liverpool for many reason, the way he plays but factor's in the season may allow it to not matter, liverpool's owners only care about money and not building an empire which means as soon as a player gets good the big clubs come in with a big bid and they sell like that. Klopp doesn't have a clue about signings at all, he doesn't realize that they need a defender and is so focused on van djik he doesn't realize that there are other better centre backs.

Remind me how many members on this forum again, and you pulled out 4 examples? If you are going to claim 'most' then back it up with an example from each of the majority of members, an absolute monster of a task I know, but don't make this claim with piss poor so called evidence from 4 posters.
I seem to remember a lot of United fans wanting Klopp to be our manager after Fergie. Quite a few still liked him when he became Liverpool manager because he plays the high energy attacking football that we ideally want.
I think with a more close up view of Klopp's attitude and behaviour the fans are entitled to change their minds on him.
A lot didn't want Mourinho because of his behaviour, and while most support the manager now that he is here, there is still bitterness towards him from some fans because of his past.

Bit off topic but this South Park character looks exactly like Klopp
