Klopp is getting ripped apart by basically anyone who isn’t a Liverpool fan. He is not being treated different then those other managers mentioned.

Where has he be getting ripped apart by any media?

Half of them are ex reds to be fair, so the anyone who isnt a liverpool fan part rings true

Oh Locke!

Is that your new shtick.

You, whose punchline was when Jose was playing was I'm going to say they're parking the bus when it was obvious that you were clueless as to what that actually was.

Big game for Liverpool on Saturday. A Saturday 1230 game against a Leicester team that have been awarded the most penalties in the league. Forecast is for wind.

And they have to play in a pandemic.

Beglin on Saturday after shoulder's flop for the penalty.
"Well, if you touch him he's going to go down"

You're deflecting.

You care to address the issue of how he's managed the CB problem?

You think he's done a good job there? You particularly surprised that Gomez is injured? Or Matip?

You think he's addressed it sufficiently this transfer window? You happy with him pulling Henderson out of MF and sticking him there?

I’m not deflecting from anything. I think he made a mistake in selling Lovren and not bringing in a replacement. A signing like Ben Davies would have been much better in the summer window so he could have had time to train and eat up some minutes in cup games.

Despite that, he’d still be my first choice out of any manager in the world. I absolutely love what he has brought to the club. It doesn’t really bother me much that opposing fans hang on his every word waiting for him to get too emotional. His emotions are part of what make him so great as a manager.

I'll go on record as saying I wouldn't want any other manager in there right now (or for the next decade even; I hope he's there for the long haul) but I've absolutely hated how he's handled interviews lately. He makes excuses (as do most managers) but there's no call for belittling reporters for asking questions he doesn't like. It's taken a bit off the shine off him as a person in my books.

Agreed, he’s got to tone it down and just give the standard answers.

Honestly, I love having Klopp in the league. Liverpool plays good football under him and as long as it against someone else I can generally appreciate that. And honestly, when things don’t go their way, it’s entertaining! It’s hilarious when he blames the wind or whatever, and the time they cleared the snow from half the field is amazing to me.

I think Klopp is a poor sportsman, and frankly most good managers probably are. I know I personally hate losing when I play sports, and I’m nowhere near a professional, so I would imagine that pressure adds up.

Pogba injured, Bruno on the bench.

Lets see this Dutchman, prove his salt.

United has owned possession, but his positioning, and lack of anything, well I've seen enough.

The kid is a terrible purchase. Jesus.

With penalties on the horizon;


Against premiere league competition, Henderson has faced 3 penalties. (2 prem, 1 FA)
Saved one of the prem PK's, vs city & Jesus.

De Gea, in the Prem, has saved 3 of 28!

Underwhelming by both clubs. Man U deserved the win. The absence of Antonio up front really hurt West Ham.

He always seems to be a United killer too, I agree.

What the hell was that? It gradually bounced its way in.

A Sunday Morning kickabout team wouldnt let that in.

So Bale didn't feel right after training yesterday, not physical mourinho said, and hes working with the sports science team.

Seems it's a mental thing for him, which I hope he can figure out. Hes just seemed so tentative this year, confidence low after the last few years at madrid, plays a bit like hes afraid if he goes all out he will get hurt.

It's like he got caught expecting Silva to hit it, and his brain froze, so he did nothing

Ancelotti making memes in-game, what a G.
