Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch

I thought this was a joke, but he actually said it. What a complete length he is. Gone off him completely.
 
Can't believe he mentioned that goal for our last meeting again? That was like, 6 months ago. Did he lose a huge sum or something .... he just can't forget that incident.
 
What a tool this guy is, he just can't help himself :lol:
I remember wanting Klopp or Jose to take over Sir Alex in 2013, now I appreciate we got Jose even more!
 
Is this a real quote? If so, bloody hell. :lol: He was born to be Liverpool manager.

It is real said at the CL qualification presser.

I like to wind some of our resident LFC fans up a bit but surely they don't think this fixation of his is normal.
 
If I was a Liverpool fan I'd be concerned with Klopp as manager. Beyond the obvious (lack of winning, defensive issues etc; etc;) I genuinely feel he's speaking what he believes and also conveys the same message to his players. He's never at fault, nor is his team and that's ok and it's why they don't win. If you believe your the victim there's a ready made excuse and a self inflicted defeatist attitude that he is resigned to. I think the players, fans and club buy into it and it glosses over real life and results so they are fine going sideways or backwards as they always do. The fans and club have been that way for years and it would take the right manager to correct that (Simeone at Atletico being a manager that completely changed the attitudes and expectations of a doomed club) and fortunately for us he is not only equal to that he's on an even higher level of victim than they were.

He is a talented coach and can clearly get a team playing but he hasn't got the right mentality for a top club or to ever be a top manager IMO.
 
Woy stayed sane and they sacked him.

Hodgson's biggest mistake was not pandering to them.

Quite early on he said that their squad wasn't great and needed improving, and expectations should be tempered as a result. Neither of those statements were untrue, but they didn't want to hear it. They wanted to hear how great they were and how well they were going to do.

Blaming everyone but yourself or your team whilst taking potshots at the current United manager? Yeah, that seems pretty normal for a Liverpool manager. In fact I'm pretty sure blaming the rest of the world for your failures is a prerequisite to getting the job in the first place.
 
Saw the title and thought he was complaining about the offside goal and the United bit was a joke.. Then I saw the quote. Hilarious.

edit: and it wasnt even offside, was it?

Very good summary.
 
'In the end it is not fair. I don't imagine many people wrote that we won 3-2 according to the rules but, like Manchester United last year, their goal was offside.'
 
Is this real life?

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Is this just fantasy
Goals were offside
No escape from reality
Open your eyes look up to the sky and see

I'm just a poor coach, I need sympathy
Because players easy come, easy go
Good bye Co-tin-yo
Any way the wind blows matters to me, to meeee...

He did also say they would be facing a relegation battle. :lol:
 
I used to like him, even when he first came to Liverpool I thought he was likeable and I hated that I liked a Liverpool manager. Not so much now. He really is a bitter tosspot.
 
An old Klopp on his deathbed: "Remember son, life is not always fair. Back in the 2016/17 against United...."
 
Imagine if the same number of decisions went against him last season as went against us at times last season and he was sent off for over-exuberance with his celebrations and constant barking at officials. He'd be sectioned under the mental health act. I'd say hes got away lightly because of what a "character" he is. :wenger:
 
Bringing up some old excuses from a decade ago.

“Personally I have known Hoffenheim since 2007-08 when they got promoted instead of us at Mainz," said Jurgen Klopp. They were third and we finished fourth. They did it, if I can say, a bit like PSG back in the day when they bought a lot of new players in and we couldn’t.

"I know the team, it is nothing new to me, but I don’t think people in Liverpool know how many people even live in Hoffenheim."

Why does he come off so bitter about everything :lol: A fecking Bundesliga 2 promotion race. Comparing them to PSG ffs

None of that was to say he didn't do an awful job there, because he did, and that comment, which I believe came October/November time, was made when he was already a dead man walking and clearly out of his depth (although the full context was something about them not being too big for a relegation battle, then following it up by saying they'd finish near the top of the table).

Hodgson wasn't the right man for the job, and I fully understand why Liverpool fans didn't take to him. It's not nice to hear anyone say your team is a bit crap and expectations are far too high, especially when those expectations were, "get top 4 and maybe a cup," and it's even worse when it's your new manager who's just taken over from a cult-hero.

However, he'd taken over a team that had gone from title challengers to 7th, and was given less than £25 million to spend on new players, and that's after they brought in £26 million from sales, including a key player in Mascherano. People laughed at the Paul Konchesky and Christian Poulsen signings, but when you've been given absolutely no budget and need players, what sort of calibre were they hoping for? Six months later they had yet another set of new owners, and they were spending £35 million on Andy fecking Carroll.
 
Bitter old tramp. He's like that boring twat in the pub always going on about how he could have been someone if it wasn't for this bird or that bloke or the government etc etc etc
 
The way he goes on you'd think they have never benefited from dodgy officiating. They had twice as many penalties as the next team last year and no doubt scored a few goals from offside as well.
 
On track to be worse than Benitez at this rate, I mean feck me what a clown.

He's really taken on the Liverpool victim mentality, I'm starting to hate the site of him.

Before Leipzig showed up Hoffenheim were the favorite team to hate for any admirer of german 'club' tradition. They outspent all competitors by a far larger margin than PSG while buying their way up the divisions. They bought 12, 13, 14 year olds from teams like Frankfurt, Mainz, Freiburg, Karlsruhe, Kaiserslautern and Stuttgart, offering their parents several K in 'petrol' money a month.

The focus has shifted off them, and they've been long around enough for younger fans not to care anymore, but they are still thoroughly despised by some.

Fair enough, that does give Klopp's comments some more context. Had no idea about that, although Klopp is still a bitter cnut. I know the hate has now shifted to Leipzig, but aren't Wolfsburg and Leverkusen also pretty disliked because they're backed by Wolkswagen and Bayer?

Yeah they're all disliked to different degrees by different people I guess (including myself in Leipzig and Hoffenheim cases). Wolfsburg and Leverkusen actually have a history of it being their 'works teams' though, and by the virtue of being around longer don't draw the same negative emotions. There's more to it than the money, those two specifically have been less than honest about their dealings. Rangnick isn't above inventing stories about opposition supporters 'ambushing' him, and Hoffenheim have used the shadiest of tactics to suppress the oppositions support on their home ground.


There's plenty of Germans that don't care much about it, I'd be surprised if Klopp was one of them.

A lot will say we're bitter because hes at Liverpool and we're stuck with Jose but if you really look at it objectively Jose hasnt said nearly as many clueless things as Klopp.

But hes got passion or something so hes given a pass
