It's what he does.
Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
The drizzle stopped Liverpool from scoring.
He had a really baffled look when Kovac took out Gnabry at 90 mins to replace him with Rafinha. Don't think Bayern are like the Bayern he remembers anymore.
He again had something to say to the opposing manager?
Boring, boring Liverpool
They were more entertaining last season. This one they're efficient but anyone saying they're fun to watch isn't watching them. Their attacking players don't seem to be getting as many chances and they don't look inevitable to score.
They have traded being entertaining for being solid and stable. They'll have to win things if they're deciding to go this route then. If they don't win the league after this, it'll be waste of time.

What was it they said? They would rather finish fourth and entertain than be second and boring?
So if City wins the league..
After two record breaking transfers, I don't place much value in their self-proclaimed principles
Just listening his interview for Skysports Germany.
He looks really angry about something. His German is really fluent.

He's German, isn't he?
Obviously
Guess so.
It was a bad joke.
I'll get my coat.

I can't believe it's 2019 and still some can't get @Ban jokes.
Klopp is a bully. When he get a lucky goal he feel it is due to a tactical master class of his, but if the other team win due to better tactics he makes up some shit about how the other team are not playing his pure way so it can never equal up to his excellence. It is important to be confident but considering he has barely won a trophy in his life, he should be more humble.
I don’t watch them that often and as I’m a season ticket holder at one of the shittest English teams of the last three years I don’t have much to compare them against, but I disagree.
I thought they looked dangerous every time they went forward and loved how they’re so intense with their pressing. They’re also quick to choose a pass and rarely take unnecessary touches.
Like I said, I’m used to the complete opposite of what I’ve written above so maybe I just have low standards but even though it was 0-0, I watched that game thinking Liverpool fans are quite lucky to have a team that is so attacking and intense.
Who would have thought that
Is it crazy to say that I think Kovac completely out-played him tactically tonight?
Shhhh. Bojan11 will soon come and say how boring I am.
I found it funny. Go on mate!
Compare them to Liverpool of last season. They were leaking goals at the back but scoring loads up front. Their attackers were getting loads of chances. This season, their attackers don't get much critical chances and they seem more stiffed upfront but more solid and don't leak much at the back imo. I don't think Salah even found himself in a good position to score all the night.
Thanks. x xI found it funny. Go on mate!
difficult, he's coaching Liverpool remember
Ban likes this.Keep going and don't listen to haters.
I liked it
He's such a prick. Acts like he's a genius when they score offside goals, get gift penalties or the other keeper gifts them but then condemns any team or manager who offers tactics that don't play directly into his hands and let them win. Arrogant beyond belief and about the worst sport around.
You have to be a complete melt for me to want Baldy to get one over you. One of the biggest complainers in world football, much worse once he came to Liverpool as well. Winning the PL might be make or break for him, I can see things crashing down if City pip them to the title because he looks constantly on edge.
They nullified Liverpool I thought, only problem is they themselves were pretty useless up front.
For all the plaudits Klopp get about his philosophy and style, and all the excuses he makes when Burnley win with long balls, they surely do play a lot of long balls. I mean. You had 2 teams with almost the exact same tactics and what happened? All that high pressing and playing out from the back just cancelled each other out. So boring to see 2 teams play 20 passes between their keeper and CB's before hoofing the ball upfield just like Burnley. I mean what is the actual point of it? How was that pure? It is a fecking gimmick
It’s not a gimmick.
It is. It is no different from any other tactic. It is as boring or good as any other tactic when put under a microscope. 2 teams played almost exactly the same and it became a boring game, not a pure one. If a team doesn't play into Klopp hands he complains about their tactic not being valid in the eyes of modern football. Bayern didn't play into his hands, and guess what it was an obvious and boring 0-0 game, but he can't complain because they used the same tactic and it ended up being a hoofing fest. It is a gimmick. That is why he is mad.
Liverpool do love a long ball. They are constantly at it, van Dijk in particular. Why they’re never held accountable for this is anyone’s guess but they are the media darlings so that explains a lot.
Just reading a list of the top ten midfielders statistically in Europe this season and not one was from Liverpool. They don’t have any top class midfielders and tend to bypass that area of the pitch
Their best performing midfielders are effectively three well drilled headless chickens, who run about and press, before it gets hoofed to Salah. Very little passing quality on show
They have just got in £100m worth of midfielders this season and midfield is still a massive problem. Jurgen loves taking his time and that's probably why he's never gone to an elite club, they won't give him the time he wants to manage his way.
Be a different story in Munich I suspect.
This is all in the context of one game though, this season in the premier league only City have outscored them, they’ve conceded less than any team. Klopp’s way of playing has proven to be effective, he’s won league titles and has got to European finals. You can think the man is a knob (I actually don’t mind him but he is definitely a knob) but to describe his tactics as a gimmick is well wide of the mark.
