I have never denied that he says some daft things from time to time, as all managers do. I do get annoyed when his quotes get taken out of context on here and he gets ridiculed because of it, even though that might be expected in this thread. You can call him names and do whatever you want, really, but I just get the impression some of you are a bit obsessed with him, and that's something I find funny. Oppo fans are welcome here but if you even remotely reply something along those lines, all you get back is "ooooh the irony of a Liverpool fan commenting such a thing on a United forum". In that same respect (although nothing to do with Klopp), it seems perfectly normal for every United fan and his dog to complain about Mourinho and the way you guys play but when an oppo fan, especially a Liverpool one, dares to criticize United, everyone gets really precious and touchy real fast, which is quite annoying. It's not because I support a different team I can't have an insighful opinion on a rival team, and I even try to word it so it won't be too offensive to some on here.
But of course, laugh all you want, I won't lose a night's sleep over it. I don't see anything wrong with me, or us, trying to defend our manager, especially if it's something minor like this. And again, it's not like I don't understand why you'd laugh at him after his comments about the wind, how he went on about your offside goal and how that lower league team defended against us. If I'm however just trying to argue otherwise on a certain point or even just playing devil's advocate and someone goes "but what about you you're a Liverpool fan on a Utd forum" I simply can't be bothered anymore most times.
Okay, let's just dissect this a bit shall we.
Do his quotes get taken out of context? Maybe a little bit, but if you take a look at the top of the page, you are on the leading
Manchester United forum. It is perhaps expected that a bit of spin is put on the words of Liverpool's manager for comedic effect by
Manchester United fans on a
Manchester United forum. However, I don't there's much you can do with context when your manager is talking about Ashley Young making a tackle against a team that was not Liverpool, and before your biggest game of the season, against a team that is not Manchester United.
Are we obsessed with Jurgen Klopp? Not really sure. There's always a level of interest in the Liverpool manager because most United fans see Liverpool as their biggest rivals, regardless of what City are doing. However, when United fans are discussing Klopp as a result of Klopp talking about
Manchester United, it's probably not that weird that
Manchester United fans are talking about said comments on a
Manchester United forum.
Oppo fans are welcome here. They're welcome to come here and discuss a great deal of things. However, issues can arise on this, a
Manchester United forum, when they act as appointed guardians of their particular chosen team, calling out
Manchester United fans for reacting to comments about
Manchester United. There is a stark difference between you arguing with United fans who think, for example, that Klopp is a fraud and a perennial underachiever, and you arguing with United fans who are having a laugh at Klopp once again talking about United in a press conference when the match doesn't involve United.
If
Manchester United fans are being negative about
Manchester United on a
Manchester United forum, they are doing so out of frustration and a desire to see improvements in the team that they support. If oppo fans are being negative about
Manchester United on a
Manchester United forum then they're more than likely doing it to take the piss or rub salt in the wounds after a recent result. I have seen plenty of insightful opinions, both negative and positive about
Manchester United from oppo fans, even Liverpool fans, that have resulted in excellent discussion. Perhaps your comments weren't as insightful as you thought, or perhaps you posted them at a bad time. I'd say immediately following a loss is probably a bad time.
As for the last bit, and I'm not sure if you've noticed, but this is a
Manchester United forum. I'm not sure what you expected, when you, a Liverpool fan, signed up for a
Manchester United forum, so unless it's an actual serious discussion, I would perhaps wonder a bit more if you should bother responding to what is more than likely a hugely biased piss take. You've even said there that this is "something minor" so maybe you could all act a little less precious when
Manchester United fans on a
Manchester United forum have a bit of a laugh and find something to yap about when the manager of
Manchester United's biggest rivals makes a comment about
Manchester United.
Manchester United.
