That was a very low thing to say. Teams can play whatever way the want as long as it is within frame of the rules. Shite comment from Klopp. Showing his true inner colours. Hopefully Roma will beat them fair and square at Anfield and we will see another meltdown of Jurgen.
Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Please, please, please have Roma stuff these bastards.
Did he really say all that? How awkward and embarrassing. Not how you should represent a big club like Liverpool. Absolutely no class.
Pointing fun at a team getting relegated when he also has relegation on his CV. A low, needless comment. Pathetic little man.
He clearly had a choice - Top 4 place is almost certain now,
1 - might have got a bit a bit slack later on, big game on Tuesday blah blah
or
2 - being a ludicrous bellend & sounding really bitter & like a bad loser
I reckon he was deflecting from himself about the late subs & avoiding calling the ref out & getting into trouble

Whatever do you mean
This is a familiar theme for football bosses. Despite the fact that both sides play on the same patch of grass, managers still consider it acceptable to blame the undoing of their grand tactical plans on a poor pitch. There’s barely a manager in existence who hasn’t grumbled about the grass being too long, or that the turf cuts up too easily, and Ferguson is no exception to the rule. Here’s a classic example: It’s January 2001 and favourites Manchester United have just lost to West Ham in the FA Cup fourth round. Paolo di Canio scored the only goal of the game after goalkeeper Fabien Barthez chose to appeal for offside rather than attempt to stop the striker when the Italian was through on goal. However, rather than criticise the erratic Frenchman for his dubious ploy, Ferguson instead chose to talk about a game of rugby played a couple of months previously. “I can’t believe Manchester United have allowed rugby matches to be played on the pitch,” he lamented. “The biggest club in the world, and they have to play rugby every bloody November – and the pitch is a mess after it.”
Still think Klopp was out of order for his little dig at West Brom playing in the Championship next season. I'll not be sorry to see them go down though. They've been something of a bogey side for us ever since they got promoted 8 years ago. Only once in that 8 years have we done the double against them. & just 2 points off them this season, plus a home defeat in the FA Cup.
You actually had to find a quote seventeen years old to defend this for Klopp. Holy hell, the Liverpool fans are incredibly precious.
We're constantly living in the past remember, so we've got good memories.
Cool, then. Just live in the past on some other forum.
Hmmmm. Not 1 for a touch of humour I see.
I'm not defending Klopp. Already stated he was wrong for what he said. Methinks maybe you're being a bit touchy over a tongue-in-cheek post.
I love his way of attacking opponents - but I really can't stand the person Jurgen Klopp. I can't remember the last time Liverpool dropped a point without complaining about the referee.
People make Jose out to be the bad guy, but these days he only tends to make petty remarks about others if someone else has a go at him. Klopp is worse for it imo
Klopp the floppp bully
'Klopp, who also branded West Brom’s comeback as ‘uesless’ as they would be relegated anyway'
What a rude and despicable guy!
What a rude and despicable guy!
Klopp also reacted angrily when asked by Sky Sports reporter about the difference the pitch can make in the game.
"You proved you never played football obviously'
Again so very rude!
"You proved you never played football obviously'
Again so very rude!
'Klopp claimed goalkeeper Loris Karius was being blocked during set plays throughout the match'
BIG deal !! This happens in every game and he should know that cause his team does it each and every time!

"The whole game, the block on the goalkeeper - I know everybody likes it in this country, but it makes life quite difficult for a goalie in these situations," he said.

Wow, I saw they were 2-0 up and stopped looking. It feels like an outrageous long shot still, but this does open up the tiniest chance that we might possibly catch them. Really need them to have a super intense first leg against Roma and play a weakened side against Stoke before the second leg. Sucks that they need to drop 3 points not 2 because of that amazing goal difference they have though.
First option easily, put them in their place
Second option we’d never hear the fecking end off it from them abs the media
Ha! That’d be hilarious if they actually mixed loads of sand into the grass to dry it up
He really is a bitter guy showing his true nature rather than this teethy smiley idiot personna he likes to put on
Oh look at me I’m a cool guy
Yeah until things don’t go your way crier. Sore loser!

History, la
So Klopp wasn't celebrating his latest 2-2 draw with West Brom? Yesterday was away, so surely a better achievement than when they celebrated at Anfailed?
So the grass was dry?
Not as dry as Klopp’s character and comments.

The ‘waste of points’ comment is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. He’s actually angry WBA didnt bend over backwards for them. cnut.
Yep. How dare they try and win a game.
Madrid are a much better team than Liverpool. Not many people expected Liverpool to reach the Champions league semis. Not sure why you're trying to argue otherwise. Whatever happens, it's been an incredible season for them.
I'd argue that it is. Losing your best player in midseason and reaching the Champions League semi with their budget is astounding. I have them as much as the next guy but I'm not sure why we are diminishing what they have done. They may get pasted by Roma, but they'll be satisfied with their progress.
Their budget? They just spent £75 million on a defender.
I would also argue that Salah was, and is, their best player.
"Astounding". Come on.
I found his post-match and the blindly of the reds' supporters really shameful.
The moment he talked about the fact they are going to be relagated so they just can let points to the other teams which have something to play... such disrespectful and lacking of fairplay.
The team and players fight until the end to have a point, useless for him maybe but still important for the supporters who keep coming in the stadium and to respect all the opponents. I bet he won't be happy if Spurs' opponents were throwing their matchs because they have nothing relevant to play anymore. Just congrats them and say to your players to stay focused until the end of the game next time. Or do a wiser tactic than put Lovren to keep the score and just leave the ball to WBA. He wasn't that arrogant when he almost bring bvb to the relagation zone during his last year.
Plus, I actually can't stand the way he criticised the long balls and the dry pitch as if his team'play were so incredible and beautiful to watch that it can't settle on that poor ground. Each team is doing with what they have. Such a sore loser excuse. Believe he can't bear his tactical weaknesses against lower team. Thanksfully, The better team do not always win.
And his way to always comment everything... It's more disappoitment because I actually do(did) like Klopp. Well I guess i was wrong, the so selfish and disrespectful Lemar will perfectly match with that beautiful team spirit.
Anyway i'm probably repeating some comments so...

Yes. On one defender. Our net spend dwarfs theirs for the past year, past two years, past three years. And we got knocked out by a joke Sevilla team with a negative goal difference who outplayed us over 180 minutes in the round of 16. City spent a boatload more than them and were kncked out by Liverpool.
Considering their budget, I think that they've done really well In Europe. They should be better if the Keita settles in well. Let's wait and see. They need to take the next step. Whether they manage to do that remains to be seen.
What does Man Utd have to do with this? I'm talking about Liverpool. Making the semi-final is impressive but certainly not "astounding". And they aren't the pauper minnows you're portraying them as.
And I'm comparing what teams with much bigger budgets such as us have done in Europe, compared to them. I also didn't potray them as minnows. Even the biggest heavyweights in English football - City - didn't make it to the semis. Liverpool are there and with a chance to get to the final. If you're not impressed by them or find it hard to give them credit, that's fine. We'll agree to disagree and move on.
Just for fun, if you consider this astounding, how would you describe Leicester winning the PL?
Also, get knocked out by Roma and their 'achievement' will be completely forgotten about.

Embarrassing comments yet again. Having a pop at WBA and saying they didn't need points. What an absolute cnut.
Who is this newbile?
Another United hater/ Scouser lover.

Not a United but do not really see the point of this.
The truth is:
- The stage group was pretty easy with no team with a bigger budget, seems that you think it's all about that. The "n1 team was... Spartak Moscow !?" And they weren't that amazing actually.
- Porto is a poor team. Easy to pass
- Even if they were better than City which is not the best/ experimented team in Europe (only 1 semifinal recently), the 2 games were kind of a lot orientated by the referees.
- They will face the Roma, the poorest team of the 3 left, which had faced an awful/ ghost Barcelona side that can't actually pass the 1/4 since 2015 and should have been out last year in the 1/8 with a better ref and no bottling PSG players
So to go to the final, they will not have played: Juventus, Barcelona, Real, Bayern, or Atletico. The Top 5. That is the greatest achievement.
You're still right. It's a huge thing to go to the semis but you just over-estimate the way they did it. And also the matter of budget. Apart City, all the opponents had lower budget. Plus like Heycknes said when he compared PSG to MU, we do not "buy" a Champions League. Because it's a cup. Because the winning mentality, tactics, collective and intensity are more important than having 1 top player. And etc. Real is probably going to win it with Varane, Asensio, Casemiro and Vasquez in the 11 and no new big signings that year. Other examples: Bvb 2013, Juve or Atletico.
Anyway, Liverpool probably settles in the top 6 budget in CL (Psg, rm, fcb, city, mu, lvp) so definitely not an inconvenient. It seems that they just use it with less stupidity than MU, City, PSG or Barca.
For me, Roma's course is astonishing like Monaco last year. Even RM's one is amazing (PSG, Tott, BVB, Juve and now Bayern)
If only West Brom rolled over for them, like Swansea did for Shitty...
They did use the money to buy the most expensive defender in the World. Also, Coutinho wasn't their best player this season till the point he left. Their best player is the man they signed from their next opponents. I am not downplaying their achievement. Nobody expected them to reach the semi final initially but with the opponents they had (even City), it is not a big surprise that they are in the last four. I don't even consider us reaching the 2011 final a big achievement.
