Klopp sack watch - Liverpool Edition

We have players slowly coming back, These youth players have proven they are good enough when called upon and they almost proved it yet again.

I did'nt mind that line up, We've had a huge number of injuries, Almost averaging one per game in the last 10 matches. We had to risk one of these cups.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Then the first target always was Rodgers, not the players.

We can't suddenly switch arguing strategy now lol.

If Klopp does not manage to get better results and better football with the players Liverpool have, it was no use getting him over Rodgers. Simple.
And contrary to what you kept claiming, the bar is not THAT low.

Keeping in mind of course that Rodgers was there 3 and a half years and did indeed assemble large parts of the squad so he couldn't use the player excuse, and Klopp needs to be given reasonable time before his work can be meaningfully compared.

Still, eventually Klopp needs to make better use of the players than Rodgers, coupled with demonstrably better squad building and buying within the same means as Rodgers, else his appointment was not worth it.
Merely pointing to the supposed poorness of the squad now all of a sudden doesn't cut it.

Well then you have no idea what you're talking about because I actually defended Rodgers towards the start of his era. At the end of the day I support the club first and foremost. But Klopp is hardly at fault for anything at the club right now. Klopp has a one year free pass AFTER HAVING A PRE-SEASON from me. (And this isn't just because Klopp has came with a reputation.) If Klopp proves inadequate / there are no improvements after that year, then I will call for his head.

And I did "attack" the players when Rodgers was at the club lmao.  

"If Klopp does not manage to get better results and better football with the players Liverpool have, it was no use getting him over Rodgers. Simple."

What are you on about? Rodgers HAD to go. He was holding us back and is actually one of the sole reasons we're so far behind our rivals. His "dealings" in the market put us behind everyone. There were NO improvements on the pitch. The team he inherited (which was also mid-table at the time) was better than this squad. And he had 300 MILLION POUNDS to assemble this team. He hardly fought for any silverware. His ambition / goals was "to get into the top 4" (which is hardly good enough and even then he couldn't even achieve that).

EDIT: He did it once under Luis Suarez before El D decides to PMS. Keep note he flopped hard in the group stages and celebrated a draw against some team in Belarus???, nice.

Coming from the same man that claimed "Dalglish was at fault for Liverpool for 5 years because of Andy Carroll blah blah blah"

I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say majority of the time.

Unique wrote:so his rants about how we need to replace every player in the squad is just silly.

I'm not asking for world class players. I'm asking to get more than a bunch of overrated primadonna's that think they're very good because they're "work horses". Nice attempt in trying to put words in my mouth, though.

we are going to rape the opposition defences next season! I have seen enough evidence till now and Firmino-Coutinho will be key players of that attack. But it is also possible that our defense can be equally bad. But who cares if we can somehow win games by scoring more.

Any team without it's best player is gonna struggle.

We were missing our 2 best players for an extended period. One who's been crocked for 2 seasons now.

Things are gonna be okay. This season was a write off the second we decided to keep David Brent and let him splash 32m on Benteke and make Milner captain.

Agreed ! it will be our year imo.

Sadly we haven't seen Coutinho-Firmino-Sturridge in action yet together. All the signs have been good when even 2 of them played together.

no bump because aston villa are guaranteed to be going down and are fodder for everyone 9 out of 10 times

maybe this will spur you on to EL qualification tho

Liverpool's next few fixtures:

Augsburg (A)
Augsburg (H)
City (H)
City (H)
Palace (A)
Chelsea (H)
Soton (A)
Spurs (H)

I can see 5-6 bumps in the near future

the lge has gone for us but getting Sturridge coutinho and firmino all fit and playing well is good for the cup games and for next season. I told red alert and anyone that would listen to me that Liverpool have better players than results show. anyone with half a brain will know that a front 3 of Sturridge coutinho and firmino are good enough for the prem lge.

Sturridge last start in the PL came against Aston Villa at Anfield, no? When we beat them 3-2 and he scored 2 goals like in August / under Rodgers?

That's nice.

The squad is still average though.

I would say Ausburg are well capable of showing Liverpool exit door they are in a very simialr form as Liverpool but they can always surprise you !

No one mentions how tremendously fat Kolo Toure looks?

He played better than Sakho today

Klopp: "I won't talk about tactics here. Even in Manchester they have televisions."

Flopp

lmao love him

Is Sturridge injured again?

No he played 120 minutes in the cup final on Sunday.

That guy can barely play 90 minutes per week so Klopp rested him.
