I think ranting about the opposition approach is a rite of passage for every manager. Wenger, Mourinho, Pep, Klopp, they've all had their moments. Even our beloved SAF has had a few I'm sure

If anyone is good with photoshop, this is a golden opportunity.
Did anyone ever get around to this?
Theres nothing usual about Liverpools standards over the last 2 seasons. Like City they were always going to drop off since its insanely unsustainable.
Hell City havent been a runaway side for a while now. This sort of is their level now.
Its really hard to judge where any side is right now tbh.
Missing the point, I said they are not playing well irrespective of those standards.
And I said its hard to judge where any side is at during all of this! What should the standard be in this madness?
Id even argue attacking wise they are playing as well as they always had. They just dont have the defence that means 1 goal is a win, even when VVD was fit.
Its just less machine like. There isnt much difference in overall performances imo, just in moments that had opposition miss sitter after sitter last year against them is now going in.
This is from last week but some say that the rumours may be starting to effect the harmony within the dressing room
It really is, we're a third of the way into the season and a mere 6 points separate 1st and 9th place. I could be wrong, but I can't recall it ever being this close. I don't know if the league has weakened overall or gotten stronger. It's hard to say.
One thing we do know is United look as strong as anyone in the league as of this moment. If it wasn't for the below-par start we made to the season, not to mention the Spurs embarrassment, we'd be top of the table right now.
More like ourselves and Liverpool have been a bit better than the rest.
You’d love him if he was United manager. Just try looking at Fergie without the red tinted glasses and you’ll see they’re actually pretty similar.
A club and manager made for each other
This reminded me of Jose and class A and class B eggs and omlets.
yeah, i also think he is quite similar in press conferences. always redirect attention to something else (ref, negative tactics of oppo etc) after a defeat, draw and even after a win stress some points to have control over the media topics. i am very happy with ole and he handels the media also well imo but thats a point he could improve. for example after the wolves game he should have stressed the (imo correctly) not given penalty. saf would have done so.
I wanted Fanta but there was nothing but Sprite to choose from.
He's trying to be wise and philosophical but he will never be as good as Brendan. They may have the same dentist but Brendan is a way better manager and human being.
Considering that it wasn't until our first double that I started to warn to SAF, I doubt very much that I would love him, no.
I remember seeing some post CL match inviews when he was still at Dortmund and thinking how repulsive he was, even then.
i hated him first
And Brighton and Fulham.Drew against WBA and Newcastle. Surely, his tactics need to be questioned as they're struggling to beat low blocks
These results highlight that in football, weird results happen and one doesn't always need to have a fecking meltdown when we draw/lose a game
If I remember correctly you lost 2 & drew 1 after you won the league.
Can't remember who you drew, but you lost to city, which could have happened anyway & you lost to arsenal who rode their luck.
I don't think results would have been much different if you didn't have the league won. In the run up to your 3-0 hammering by watford, you could see you where running on empty & a defeat was coming.
In around that time you also got knocked out of the champions league & fa Cup. Your form wasn't great anyway.
Quite the cry baby isn’t he. Moans about teams playing counter against them yet that very tactic took him to his first 2 CL finals with Dortmund & Liverpool. Hypocrite.
Exactly that my friend. 2-3 years of effort has taken its toll. You look a little burnt out and I suspect this current team is coming to the end of its cycle.
Awful the way he talks about other clubs.
I have honestly no problem with Klopp as a person. Maybe I should read this thread more.
Attacking wise they are not playing as well. Defensively they are not as good but the decline started before the madness of covid19
Both are true
The balls on this guy to complain about players going down when he has Mane and Salah in his team.
You get a bit of fortune on the way to a title. You've had some yourselves this season.
I did expect a drop off from us. It's not normal for a Premier League side to get more than 90 points for three consecutive seasons so this is what was expected.
It really gets worse when he starts rambling and ranting though. I've also noticed this.
There are pointless subs and then there’s whatever that was. Gini did well when he came on but when you have Ox and Shaqiri not to mention Thiago sat there what’s the point? Jones has been run in to the ground this month and Phillips and Williams are costing us games. They’re young players who aren’t good enough so can’t really be blamed.
Salah and Mane are worrying at the moment. I genuinely thought it was nothing but I can swear there’s been occasions for both of them to try and play each other directly in on goal and they’ve chose different choices and the move peters out. Unfortunately they’re not really receiving the ball in great positions either.
A CB is a must and getting Jota back will help but I think we genuinely need to consider a more attacking approach because we haven’t got the side to see a result out any more. We need to start killing teams off and we do have a lot of really good attackers as depth.
Klopp is a pathetic bully all grown up but with no respect for anyone who does not lay down before him.
This is who he is, his true nature.
This is who he is, his true nature.
Looking back at their results last season, I cant agree.
The entire run before Christmas was winning tight games and getting goals out of thin air to snatch wins, sort of like we did v Wolves but through 10 odd games.
Southampton away, Spurs away are 2 games they were arguably second best in and those 2 teams missed sitters in the last minute to get a draw. Chelsea missed 2 glorious chances in the final minutes to get draw, Palace away where Palace pegged them back, got a late equaliser only to see a mad pin ball moment in the box that falls to Firminho. The mis hit cross that fell to them in their draw v us when they rarely threatened, Sheff Utd away where they couldnt get a shot on target and scored from a Henderson howler.
95th min pen v Leicester when they deserved a draw. Villa way where they again second best and 2 somehow late goals got them the win. Hanging on with 10 men at hone to Brighton.
Theres little difference between those games and now, they just arent getting that last min goal and the opposition arent missing that glaring chance that gets them away with it. Their games are still oddly even, they arent controlling games to any sort of level
Klopp is a pathetic bully all grown up but with no respect for anyone who does not lay down before him.
This is who he is, his true nature.
He's gonna lose it one day.
Be anywhere else when he does.
This. I first noticed it when Liverpool played against Exeter City, who I follow a bit as I lived there for a few years, and he made a few sarcastic, mocking comments which were so out of place and classless. Really really annoyed me at the time but the press lapped it up. I liked Jurgen before then and was a bit of a fanboy when he was at Dortmund, but since that moment my perception of him changed.
I said the same and got slaughtered by lots of my Liverpool mates and by a few on here.
You can clearly see Klopp has these 5-7 year stretches and he's coming to the latter stages.
We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one
You implied that we were going to have a Dortmund style meltdown. We have a better squad than they did and we're still in a healthy position. Just hit a bit of a slump in the last few games.
It's hard to see us drop points like last night because of how high the standards have been in the last two seasons but I have to keep reminding myself that those seasons aren't a regular occurrence.
Probably we should wait until they're not still top of the league before saying their time is almost over! As much as we'd all love it to happen.
He did.
It is, but they have 2 more title challenges in them.
With the current team, yes, if Salah fecks off to Madrid and you don’t adequately replace him, can see you struggling to score massively, which hinders that prospect.
Of course, the same was said about us when Ronaldo left.
