Klopp Confirmed Liverpool Manager

Absolutely despise posts like this, hardly anyone I have seen here has called him average. A large majority of fans are not pleased that he is joining Liverpool and there are some others who are questioning whether his record was actually as good as it is projected to be. No one is actually calling him average or anything close to average. The second part of your post is even worse, when United appointed LVG I don't think Klopp was available, the club was in 7th so obviously we couldn't have waited for him to become available before deciding our manager. We got in Lvg and people may or may not like him but he got us back into the cl, now so when Klopp became available are you genuinely suggesting that United should have sacked LVG and got Klopp in? I think most people at United like Klopp but it's unfortunate that the timing of our need didn't match his availability.
Who gives a feck if you depise my post. Just reading through the thread gives you an idea what people are trying to imply.
 
Everyone thinks they are now nailed on for top four permanency. Who's out?

Realistically it'd have to be Chelsea, or us, Chelsea beacause they are so far down, and us because we have a thin squad and aren't very convincing.

But you look at the players Liverpool have and wonder how Klopp will get them anywhere close, if he does it then the man is a genius.
 
If I knew how to create a new thread with a poll I'd ask Caf users which position Liverpool will take by the end of this season with Klopp at the helm. Would be fun to compare those predictions against reality next summer.
I think you just start the new thread and ask a mod to add the poll, but I've not done it myself so might be wrong, but you can't start a poll directly I don't think.

I agree it would be interesting to have to look back on, the way things are in the league right now only the title is really out of reach, but how many think he will get close to there would be an interesting discussion.
 
Will all this scouser joy comes huge expectation. If these expectations are not met quickly thing will start falling apart very soon. On paper, Klopp looks very good, but so did Brentan back in the day. Unfortunately for LFC, the owners and transfer committee seem to be calling the shots. They sold their best players, compare this with us, who managed to keep a want away player. This is a big gamble for them, it going to either go very well, or else its going to be a spectacular fail (hopefully!!).

Thanks, I'll give it a shot then.
 
I certainly am now ;)

You may be right mate, but it's way to premature to say such things, imo.
This reminds me of the Liverpool fans on RAWK last season saying with such arrogant confidence that they'd finish ahead of us.

No one can claim to know for certain what Klopp will and won't achieve. He's a bit of an unknown quantity who we know is capable of brilliance.
 
Think it'll be a very good appointment for them, still rate him very highly and would have been my choice when LVG is no longer manager

With his easy charme and eloquence Klopp is really good at playing the media and fans, so public expectations should not be a huge issue. His reputation might earn him more power and trust within the club than Rodgers had.
 
You do wonder if Chelsea forced Liverpool's hand on this, 2-3 more defeats and Mourhino will be in big trouble, in that case Chelsea would have been all over him.

The timing of this just all aligned perfectly for Liverpool, give it six months and Chelsea, Bayern, Barca, and Madrid could all be looking for a new manager, well done to them for been decisive for once.
 
Fair play to them. After listening to much of Honingstein over the past year or so on Football Weekly it should be of no surprise. I don't automatically hate managers, must say I'm more intrugued than anything about how it will go.

Hopefully we can just sort ourselves out so we're not looking over our shoulder too much in the future.
 
He'll start kneeling in front of the Kop, summoning scouse guidance for success.

"He gets us la"
"He understands us la"
"Rafa is out there smiling somewhere"

Never liked him or his stupid grin and his glasses.
 
Good appointment for them.

Not entirely sure what all the hand wringing is about though, we are either good enough to win things or we improve until we are.
It will take Klopp a couple of transfer windows to get some squad balance I think (no real wingers with Benteke as the most likely fit front man for instance), how it goes until then I have no idea.
Will a few bad results, which is entirely possible, bring down the wrath of the supporters? Who knows.
Hes the best manger they have had for 40 years though.
 
The good thing for most guys on here is that Klopp is probably pretty easy to dislike once he coaches your rival and you have to see his weekly outburst on the sideline. :lol:
 
He can't attract the top players to Liverpool unless Liverpool can pay top wages. His name might make a difference for 2nd tier players though and he might have an advantage when it comes to German talents, which isn't a bad position for Liverpool to be in.
More or less. Still a major improvement on their current scenario though.
 
He should improve them simply because he is a better manager than Rodgers; but to think they will now become a regular top four contender assumes the others will stand still. I reckon, in fact, his best chance will be this season. I expect both we and Chelsea will be stronger next season.

By that logic did you expect Chelsea to be even better this season compared to last season?
 
This really pains me. I've followed Klopps career since he played for Mainz, always admired his style of football and just knew he would do well with Dortmund. Now he's just thrown it all away by going to Liverpool.:(
 
Who gives a feck if you depise my post. Just reading through the thread gives you an idea what people are trying to imply.

I have read this thread very well, you are speaking absolute bullshit when you say that people in this thread are calling him average. Majority of reaction in this thread has actually been about how he is a great coup for Liverpool while some others think he is good but not great but hardly anyone has called him average
 
There is absolutely no guarantee that Klopp will get them top four this season. He is a good manager but not one for a short term fix.
 
This is just sad. My favourite manager going to the fecking scourers :(

Agreed. The giddiness will soon wear off when Klopp has to grapple with the low quality of the current side.
 
Great deal for the Scousers. They'll be delighted, understandably. From Brentan 'Character' Rodgers to Jurgen Klopp, it's a no brainer.

It'll be a shame to root against the guy.
 
This is a sad day, unfortunately I see a resurgence in Liverpool , maybe not this season, CL place minium for them.
To get the best Liverpool need to be loyal to him and give him the time he needs to build a team.
FFS what a crap week this is turning out to be.

We certainly have some low grade quality, but isn't some of that down to training methods too?

Not saying all our players will turn into Messi overnight but I can't believe Rodgers was not drilling basic ball control into the team. So directionless by the end (thus my change of opinion on him in my location).
 
Feck. I was convinced they'd "turn to King Kenny" to bring back the glory days.

Now it appears they may actually be forward looking.

:wenger: How can my post remind you of Liverpool fans on RAWK as the bolded part is exactly what I was saying in the post you quoted? If anything, United fans proclaiming he won't achieve anything at Liverpool are way too premature to draw such conclusions. But you can't ever say something about an incoming transfer if you look at it that way, because no one can predict the future. Fact is, fans will get excited if their club signs a top player/manager (I'll refrain from using the term 'world class' before I start another discussion that leads to nowhere) and they have every right to be excited because chances they'll succeed are higher than chances they'll fail. Just like United fans with Di Maria and Falcao for example, we're just very happy our club has been able to pull off what's probably our biggest transfer since a very long time. And no, there are no guarantees he'll do well for us, but we literally could not have signed any manager better suited for the job (bar Guardiola maybe) and you'd be insane to deny that. If that doesn't allow us to be enthousiast (without getting carried away too much, but that's just the fickle nature of football fans), I don't know what does.
 
Chelsea look out of sorts, Arsenal are inconsistent and so are United. Not saying Liverpool will make the top 4, but there's a chance.
Since you are posting the inadequacies of some teams, wanted to ask if you have seen Liverpool play this season? They have been absolutely terrible.
 
agree. with how we and Chelsea especially are doing, its not inconceivable they finish above both.
I forgot that Liverpool have been setting the pace with their brilliant early season form!!

Of course, but that's not what my post was about. And being terrible kinda is the reason why they brought Klopp in while the others seem to be content with their managers right now. Not sure what you are trying to tell me.

Why would you want Klopp to succeed LVG? Two completely polar opposite ways of playing. If anyone, I would like Pep after LVG to carry on from where the Dutchman would leave.
 
Why do people even like him? Didn't he continuously moan about decisions going against him and playing the victim? Match made in heaven if so.

Trying to point out that a new manager won't suddenly transform them. Even if he does other teams won't sit around twiddling their thumbs.

I think he is a good manager but his success at any club has been rather short lived.
