Exactly, they usually take 50% of shots from outside box and few more from just edge of the box and difficult angles.
Hit and Hope. Great tactic, Jurgen.

Did you all see him abuse the water bottle there? Call the FA!
Just download meme maker on your Android phone from the play store. Or equivalent on iphone.
Has anyone seen that incident with the translator in the post match press conference? He made a complete fool of himself.
Honestly if that is what his tactics are then he is a bigger fool than I had imagined. How can he expect other teams to play according to his wishes. No manager will do that.
Not only that, he also spilled some water. Someone could have slipped (luckily gerrard is not around) and broken his or her bones.
5 times, la!
Do you know what the Harlem Globetrotters are?
Better than Liverpool?
Second in the Alternative League?
Happy not to be Liverpool?
"He's spinning the ball on his finger, la!"
He has no defence in that stance. Leaves him wide open for the overhand right.
Just like his team really.
Yup their problem is definitely creating chances and not the finishing.
Not what he's saying. He's saying criticizing finishing is pointless because it's beyond him. He can't make his players finish their chances instead of missing them
Klopp SLAMS Rafa!:
Klopp said:
Is it though? Who brought those players in? Who buys the players and selects the squads?
Don't even know why he mentions creating. Maybe he's resigned to the fact that they need at least 30 shots for each goal.
Klopp has been on record in the past stating that he doesn't believe in 'tactics' and that player positions shouldn't be set in stone but rather fluid, which is apt as this Liverpool team is pure piss.

Fresh delivery of moaning Klopp.

He raises some good points to be fair.
People were giving Jose stick for us missing countless chances last season about how it's his job to get it sorted. Now that another manager is in a similar situation it's purely down to the players. Okay then.

I'm pretty sure Dortmund fired a lot of shots too when he managed them, with a drastic decline the first year after he left.
Don't remember where I read it though

Average manager, runs away from clubs before they sack him.
It is purely down to the players. People giving josé stick for it were just as stupid/clueless as people trying to give stick to Klopp for it. There's no training "finishing", what Klopp can and probably is working on is attacking team-play(creating chances), and confidence(which goes a long way towards improving the players ability to convert their chances), and the former goes a long way towards improving the latter. Liverpool's biggest problem right now is the same as united's last year: a bunch of bad results caused their players to start playing "scared of failing". It's a lot harder to convert a 1vs1 with the keeper when you feel like if you miss it your team's gonna lose the game
That's simply not true. Why do you think there's no training "finishing"?
Because there isn't. Shooting is what you train, and that's different from finishing in an actual game. Finishing is a mental thing as much as a technical one, and there's no way to train that directly. You just can't replicate the same conditions in training
I agree with your post directly above for the most part, but surely it's the managers job to get the players mentally prepared in the best way possible so they have composure in those moments? You can't train finishing, but you can manage mentality.
But you can hone your technique to such an extent that it becomes second nature. The less you have to think about the actual technique involved in finishing, the more natural it comes to you, the easier it becomes to cope with the mental side of it. Of course you can train and develop finishing skills. Look at Wayne Rooney. Or Dries Mertens.
Do you agree that shooting is an important part of finishing? If yes, your other point is invalid. Maybe shooting isn't everything, but if it's a factor in finishing, then you can practice finishing by practicing shooting. Besides, the manager also influences the mentality of his players.
Lamps used to practice finishing and got himself hundreds of goals. You can practice anything, apart from being the victim of an accident.
