Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch

A question for the gross spenders around here - do you also reckon having selling Coutinho has had no impact on the quality of our squad?

I'd be dead excited if we had him with our current squad tbh. Alas his fee is basically paying for Fabinho, keita and Allison.

But hey buying our way to succes. If only. Pretty sure FSG are still turning a profit on the club.

Explain to me where I've dismissed a discussion?

Guy gives a proper answer. He's dismissed for answering with a discussion instead of a robot yes or no. When he gives the robotic yes or no you answer

Then just bloody say that

He wasn't allowed to give a real answer instead of answering a simple hypothetical that has no real life basis. I.e. discussion was dismissed.
 
Footballing partisanship aside - Who would you rather go for a pint with?

Klopp, Mourinho or Sam Allardyce?

I only watch Atheltico when they're playing bigger teams to be honest so don't know how they play vs smaller teams i'm assuming they're more attacking. Yes that's the problem with Klopp when you're 2-0 even 3-0 you're still shitting yourself, with Benitez 2-0 i'd be very confident that we'd close out the game.

Attacking football is all the rage at the moment , with Pep Sarri , Klopp and Poch to name a few. But only Pep is lifting trophies so i'm wondering how long this trend will continue.

One of the most stupid things people ever say in football is "If we hadn't lost that game..." or things to that effect. Well yeah, obviously you'd have more points. It's such a bloody pointless thing to say
 
By my calculations if I had a big pair of tits, I still wouldn't be a woman!

Mourinho easily. Who wants to waste time discussing lager with Klopp or listening to Allardici's views on Brexit. At least with Jose you are guaranteed some enlightened conversation.

Klopp is lucky he had Coutinho there before he joined so he could sell him though, that's why net spend etc is a nonsense.

Jose would turn your pint sour though while Klopp personality would grate after a few.
At least with Big Sam you'd have a good drink and a kebab after

Exactly, it's so dumb. I'm sure Man City had some (not many) games where they should have won but they didn't, you can't just say one team gets wins from those games and not think about the others.

It's a weird way of looking at things. I wonder what a "golden goal" Premier League would look like for last season, where a match ended as soon as a team took the lead. (Definitely going to start totting this up now).

We're talking about a club whose fans I genuinely heard saying 'if the goal was a foot taller and a foot wider either side...' that season when they kept hitting the post and bar :lol:
 
Groundbreaking stuff there from Klopp.

Here's some even more mind-blowing stuff, Jurgen - if you won the games you drew AND lost, you would finish top of the league! How about that?
 
Surely it's expected that Liverpool win some trophie this season? Klopp can't keep spending and have nothing to show for it.

He says he can't promise anything. Excuses at the ready.

Which manager can? Can Mourinho guarantee the title? If he doesn't deliver would you take that as excuses at the ready? Just curious that's all...

According to this place Mourinho already has his excuses ready so.

He can't promise but if he again wins nothing I wonder what he'll say, he didnt expect anything anyway?

Sam would have you foot the bill though.

True, but at least you could piggyback his chat when he pervs on the two single mothers sitting at the bar.
Jose would be the one who doesn't have to make an effort so you would be carrying the chat up line load on your own

As long as Klopp continues to deliver a long line of meaningless statements in the press, giving us United fans a laugh in the process, that's all that matters.

Jurgen Klopp: “I read somewhere a statistic that we had seven games where we lead and it ends in a draw. So in my little mathematic brain that is 14 points. Put them on our score and we are not 25 points away from Man City we are 11."

Add the points from all the other games they didn't win too and they would have finished 14 points ahead of City!

I think it makes sense in that this ought to be the lowest hanging fruit in terms of improvement. Most teams at this level don't drop points from a winning position. We dropped more from a winning position than anyone else in Europe.

So basically if we can stop doing that and otherwise perform as we did last season, we can expect 89 points.

It's not going to be be quite so linear of course, but bring it low and win one or two more on top and it is basically a case of having made up that difference.

I am not sure that will win the title, but if manage that there can be no complaints about our performance.
 
Well done Klopp. Here's another one for you - wait for it - if you'd have won all the games you lost, you'd have won the title.
