Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch

- Start date
Oh, it's getting boring. But I will enjoy since this is against Pool.
These clubs that do the "funnies" always end up with egg on their faces down the line.
Probably when they get shattered 6-0 v Liverpool next season. But for now we chuckle

Looks a bit like he's given up
Klopp Remain At 'Pool
Klopp is as burned out as the team.
It's boring to you as you were very supportive of it. Hope the mocking continue, it's really the least harmful thing to do to those twelve twats.
Klopp sounded utterly defeated in that post match interview.
Lovely to see.
Lovely to see.
They look like they just want the season to end. Top four, CL, cups gone, so just get through the remaining 5 games and go on vacation.
Stand still, you're making me feel seasick
Honestly expected more from klopp during all this. Feels like he’s trying to kill momentum on any movement?
Think the reason he’s taking the protests personally is because he likes his owners, trusts his owners and is in favour of them. But trust me, they’re all snakes in disguise. Anyone who tried jumping ship to leave the rest to drown is a snake, never trust a snake.

There was no wind, no rain, no snow, no fog, VAR went their way, Alisson's feet weren't cold, Man Utd weren't given any penalties and Gary Neville wasn't being a big meanie about their club song before the match.
This kills the Klopp
Loads are going to the Euros,Copa America and the African players have WC qualifiers.
No t shirts either.There was no wind, no rain, no snow, no fog, VAR went their way, Alisson's feet weren't cold, Man Utd weren't given any penalties and Gary Neville wasn't being a big meanie about their club song before the match.

I love how ‘Man United’ came out of his mouth.
Much better interview. Was clearly looking to avoid burning certain players, mainly those that couldn't finish and those that gave the ball away cheaply at the end. But made the clear statement that if you players are not in it it's because you don't deserve it, and by implication I will replace you with those that deserve it.
I think it’s the new glasses. His players can’t take him seriously now he looks like Where’s Wally.
I think it’s the players who need glasses. 146 shots on goal this calendar year at Anfield and 4 goals (1 penalty) scored.
That was glorious. I saw the first equaliser get knocked off and was gutted. I didn't check again for about an hour and thought my app hadn't updated properlySo I check The Sky Sports app to see an equaliser chalked off. Seconds later Newcastle score anyway. How seriously shit do you have to be to not see that one out?
Mental Midgets.
TONE DEAF CLOWN
Seriously? Wow.
Absolutely mental stat
How much does it count against a manager's legacy if his teams collapse after a few seasons? Dortmund and now Liverpool; they overperform for a few years and then it all comes crashing down. It's only two clubs, but still. Can't put it all on VVD's injury--as important as he is, it's not as if they're the first team to lose a key player for most of a season. I recall we once had such an injury crisis that we had to field seven defenders against Arsenal. VVD's absence feels more like an excuse than a reason. We once lost Vidic for a similar amount of time and didn't drop seven spots in the league table. His replacement was an inexperienced Jonny Evans, so it's not as though we had a remarkable backup.
Someone on here once posted a pretty good theory. We know that in Klopp's teams (both Dortmund and Liverpool), something like 60% of the players are medicated for asthma. It's not illegal, but it's obvious that they don't actually have asthma. Can't remember what the medicine is called, but it's really rough on your cardiovascular system if you're simultaneously a professional athlete, so players need to be taken off of it for a while every so often. Normally that's done in the summer when they're on break, but if players keep taking the medicine for long enough, they need to be off of it for longer each consecutive season in order to not risk serious health problems. So after a certain number of seasons, the summer break isn't long enough. And during COVID, the season schedule has been completely different and would get in the way of that carefully constructed medical routine.
Couldn't begin to say with any certainty if that's the reason, but the asthma thing is true, and it kind of matches the pattern of Klopp's tenure at Dortmund and Liverpool. He was at Dortmund for longer, but Dortmund weren't at the top when he arrived, and they didn't have an irregular season schedule to interfere with the medical routine. If this is in fact the reason that he's 2 for 2 with regards to his teams crashing and burning after a few seasons at the top, that would be very interesting to look into.
One thing's for sure: their downward spiral this season is not just because of injuries. Plenty of teams face similar injury problems and don't go from one of the best in Europe to absolute trash practically overnight. They weren't crippled by injuries when they lost 7-2 to Aston Villa early on in the season. While the injuries certainly haven't helped, it's clear that their decline is way, way more dramatic than what injuries alone can possibly be responsible for.

That's insane.
He legit has no idea what the problem is or how to fix it.
He may need replacing before next season starts.
Flashbacks to his latter months at Dortmund - shattered, deflated, bereft of ideas. I don't see him getting sacked though, he's still idolised there and the owners wouldn't dare risk further angering their fans by sacking him. He could feasibly end up at Bayern though.
You know old Jurgen is not in a good mood when he's hiding his pearly whites.
We would want to be careful with Sancho. Can majorly see these lads refreshing their attack around his signing.
Imagine this just went on and on into next season and he eventually gets sacked. Madness. It was obvious Jose and Lampard were going to go at some stage but Klopp, no way
This is a good point with the ESL damage fresh in fans' minds, would the owners risk getting rid? There'd be carnage.
A few months ago they were the greatest team in the history of the game, how things quickly change.
He walked out at Dortmund, would expect similar here if things go even worse in the near future.
Feels like Klopp had misread the room by coming out so aggressively in defense of his team/club. Everyone knows it’s not his fault or his players’ but this is a moment in the game that is bigger than that. He needs to stop whining about it, he is gonna get on the wrong end of the media who up until this point lionize the man
Indeed it was.That was glorious. I saw the first equaliser get knocked off and was gutted. I didn't check again for about an hour and thought my app hadn't updated properly
I turned off the tv in disgust when they ruled out the goal for hand ball as I thought that's it.
He should've resigned on Monday using the Super League as the excuse - would've saved himself being shown-up by Steve Bruce today
From rawk:
Crazy how Mr. Klopp never comes under any sort of scrutiny.

I just posted in another thread about this. They'd be 13th on 40 points if they'd had their post-Christmas form for the whole season.
They've lost 11 points to both Chelsea and West Ham in that time, 17 (could be 20 by tomorrow) points to United, and 30 to City. They've fallen from top of the league to 6th, and at one point we're as low as 8th.
It's absolutely laughable how little attention this has had in the media, and it seems almost every pundit and journalist has been happy to go along with the "injured centre backs" line.
a) That doesn't explain why their attack is toothless, and b) let's Klopp off the hook for having just three senior centre backs in his squad, at least two of which are known to be injury prone, after 5 years at the club.
