At the moment, I'm not too bothered either way about him; though I absolutely agree with this. It's a common theme amongst football fans I've noticed on here in that they think you can't laugh at another club if your own isn't all shiny and rosy. It makes no sense whatsoever.
Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Don't forget his accusations against ambulance people. I am sure there's plenty forgotten as well.
That Klopp can top that shows how despicable him losing his glasses when celebrating really is.
When people open with "Say what you want about Mourinho but Klopp's a bell end", they've kinda set up the comparison.
The chest beating by Klopp was a bit embarrassing.
Can't help but like him. Mad man with passion. That's what we all love in the game.
Yep top man , and not a bad coach to .
I like him. A German Ian Holloway.
Ok so he beats his chest but other managers run up and down the touch line when thier team scores
The German Alan Pardew.
Then ignore them, this board is full of childish people and even worse for me is childish answers to childish taunts.
One thing I have to say about this season is that it feels like there are almost too much on the line. Not only a very competitive league, but we also have to suffer the smugness of some right cnuts if we get beat by them. Klopp, Guardiola and Moyes tops the list.
For some reason, Klopp's antics are a much more fun to look at than Rodgers "hand in the air" celebration.
Get the feeling that a lot of fans here are just bitter that scousers have Klopp - a man who would have been welcomed with open arms here. Get over it. We're doing fine, enjoy it while it lasts.

Love this fan-hyperbole. Fan forums are awash with OTT adjectives to describe rather mundane events. Words like embarrassing, delusional, disgusted, outraged etc are regularly attributed to opposition fans, players an managers when most of the time it's a minor drizzle in a tiny teacup.
Tell me, who exactly is genuinely embarrassed by a chest pump? Not Klopp, not the Liverpool fans nor his players. Not members of the media nor any passive viewer enjoying the match.
Yet fans indulge in these nonsense exaggerations, which means you have nowhere to go when something of note actually deserves such a strong reaction - which is pretty rare in truth.
Klopp's team momentum performance is something not to be taken lightly. However, his style may be too demanding on his players' fitness and over the course of a season, especially the PL, it may affect their consistency. Klopp still doesn't have a second rhythm for when their momentum is lost. Example: after Ox's goal, they let Arsenal back in game playing the same tactic as before while Arsenal turned some momentum and made changes. Klopp doesn't have shut off shop tactic nor win ball possession stat game to see out the game.

Well at least I don't smell...
Just browsing threads while bored and came across this POV – thought I'd chuck in my two-penneth: He's a hard-on I'm finding it pretty difficult to ignore even though he's the fecking Liverpool manager! Did you not see the full game at the Emirates yesterday? He can energise ten pretty average players and a star into a group mentality that can take on the world! WE DO NOT NEED THIS AT LIVERPOOL … stop chucking fuel onto the fire!
Possibly so. However, last season Liverpool trudged through 65 games - more than anyone else in all 4 divisions. Klopp said recently that last season he heard Leicester were off abroad for a holiday while his team would have about four games before Leicester play again. This season it's about 50 max. That's significant and should help his side sustain the intensity.
That said, this team isn't mature yet so inconsistency is likely.
I quite liked him while he managed Dortmund but I think that's because I didn't see too much of him, his passion I thought was understandable when they were doing so well in the champions league, funny when he shouted at a linesman etc.
But now, I've seen the 'passion' shown week in week out, drawing against teams like west brom, stupidly laughing in his interviews, chest thumping, it's just boring and over the top, it may have something to do with him managing Liverpool but but as someone else here said, he's incredibly marmite and easy to dislike.
Alan pardew shows passion and does stupid antics on the touch line, not everyone fawns over him. He's more of a joke.

Meh, if he was our manager we'd be loving all of this.
Difference is, he's 40 miles down the M62, and for that reason alone I can't stand the guy

Pretty much, yeah. And that is, of course, just as it should beMeh, if he was our manager we'd be loving all of this.

Straw man argument.
What's Pardew got to do with the kind of coverage Klopp gets? Pardew isn't fawned on for 101 reasons but mainly because he's an average manager.
I say it again, the 'Flopp' is jinxing things.
It's not a straw man or an argument, just pointing out what I think.
Pardew dances, screams and shouts, sometimes head butts. Hence, he's a joke
Klopp screams and shouts, chest thumps and laughs. Hence, he has passion.
I see you ignored the rest of my post.... Agree with that part do you?
He'd be a fairly long way down a list of Liverpool managers to dislike, way behind the management self-help book motivator Rodgers, the racist trying to drag football back to the 80s Dalglish, or the failed 'mind-gamer' and excuse-maker Benitez.
I find his charades on the touchline amusing. So over the top, like he can't believe what he's seeing. You can almost hear the internal dialogue - 'OMG, this group of shitbags I've put together have actually scored an important goal! This calls for my crazy dance!!'

He is ok, the constant bashing of him is only a testament to his talent. Tough job in hand, but he wanted to go there voluntarily, knowing it is not easy. He gets easily carried away in the moment of madness. Makes ridiculous animation at the touchlines. I thought this is the entertainment business guys?
Klopps moves aren't as smooth, sadly. Somebody should teach him the Running Man, that'd be grand
You're allowed to be annoyed by Klopp. However, placing Pardew as a man who acts up on the touch line and comparing him to Klopp is a strange one. Klopp isn't fawned over because of how he reacts to goals. He offered high praise because his teams play well and have achieved things. If all he was known for was passion then you'd have a point.
Pardew isn't in the same league.
I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool have a few results like that - they have some good players in the attacking positions, but their back 4 is a mess. Will probably hammer a few teams along the way, but produce some wildly inconsistent results also.
Since when is describing something as "a bit embarrassing" hyperbole? You're the one massively overreacting, it's not like I called Klopp a cnut or anything.
I found him beating his chest a bit embarrassing, a bit over the top. Of course Liverpool fans won't mind it, he's your manager and you've always had this weird fawning worship thing with your managers anyway. Well aside from Hodgson.
And I don't care if you or Klopp don't find it embarrassing, I did which is why I said that. It's a forum, people give opinions.

Being out moved by Pards, oh the shame.
Klopp isn't so bad as a character. He does go OTT at times. His Beatles t-shirt was a bit weak though, he should have gone with Echo & the Bunnymen or similar if he was a true hipster.
I find him far from a tactical genius though, quite the opposite really. He is a momentum manager, a motivator essentially. I just don't see him consistently performing in the PL he needs open games and high opposition defensive lines to excel. I just don't see him being granted that on a consistent basis by his opponents.
Liverpool will lap up the cult of personality. I find him cringeworthy, but he's not our manager so I won't dwell on it.

Don't recall Ferguson being much of a tactician, especially in his early years at United. To me, motivation seemed to be the driving force to a lot of your success under him. The players loved him & loved playing for him. So if you've got that & a squad full of quality then maybe tactics are not the be all & end all in becoming highly successful. Obviously there are areas we need to imrove upon quality wise, but having a group of lads fired up pretty much every game is a good starting point as far as I'm concerned. He had a good record in Germany of improving performance levels of players & turning them into top players. If he repeats that over here with us, along with his motivational character being what it is, then we should do OK with him.
Totally agree with your Echo & the Bunnymen bit. Vastly superior to The Beatles.
Ferguson was a motivator but I don't think we ever won the league with a defence as weak as Liverpool's is at the moment. Ferguson also mixed up his approach, most notably in Europe where we would often play more defensive and grind out 1-0 wins.
Perhaps Liverpool can get top four but I wouldn't expect a serious title challenge. I think City and United will make up the top two with 3-6 being contested by Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal.

I don't know if you should be wasting your few posts for quoting and answering yourself...
And there you have it in a nutshell. Tribalism over logic.
He had the same behavior at Dortmund but the Caf didn't complain back then.
Understandable because he is at Liverpool now, but a bit childish nevertheless.
He is much more likable than some other ex Liverpool managers.
Hope he leaves them sooner rather than later.
Ancelotti 's successor at Bayern mabe!

Although I dislike Liverpool I have always liked Klopp (although I hope he loses every match and gets sacked). He is a good manager and I think it's nice to see the passion.
He just signed a 6 year contract which will take him to 7 years at Liverpool - the same as his previous two clubs. I'd be very surprised if he went to Bayern as I do think he's invested into the idea of being at Liverpool for a good few years.
