New Manager [Klopp Watch]

[marcus50bucks]

Roger Schmidt - very good young manager who lacks top level experience. Similar to Thomas tuchel in that both model their high pressing game on Jürgen klopp.

Reference to Thomas tuchel yesterday he got his tactics badly wrong vs Bayern and they got drubbed 5-1. Bayern were very clinical in their finishing but they were undoubtedly helped by tuchels decisions to make so many changes in the back four and their strange use of Kagawa.

Very good manager though. Very good. But klopp outstanding candidate on that list or any. Were talking about one of the worlds elite coaches - top 10, top 5 so we should be doing everything we can to get this guy.

Yep Tuchel is a class coach I expect him to do very well at Dortmund

That fourfourtwo article makes it seem Klopp is not too dissimilar from Rodgers in some respects.

With Klopp, people will need to understand that he prefers counter-attacking football, so we may not always be on the front foot in terms of possession, but the pressing will be much more organised and relentless than what we've had for the past year. I'd probably describe it as Benitez with a much higher tempo.

Whoever comes in could have an awful start. Brendan just blew our 'easy' run.

Chelsea (a)
Palace (h) - Brilliant away from home
City (a)

I think counter attacking football is exciting compared to a back 5 knocking the ball around & inviting the opposition to press & harass us. We need a midfield who can make something happen when they receive the ball instead of passing to defenders & putting them under pressure.

2013/14 we could have been considered a counter attacking team, Madrid have been recently and United under Fergie were for years. Its an exciting brand of football if done correctly. Problem is we lack pace out wide, Moreno will probably be key and Clyne would need to step up big time.

BBC is also running with the Klopp first choice story. So likely to happen.

Is that even possible? I assumed if he was loaned for a season that was it - unless we put a clause into the deal that he could come back in January (or some other specified time) if that was the wish of either club.

Thinking about it now, makes sense what the club said about Markovic, insisting that he'd be back and not sold. Cos they knew Brendan was unlikely to be around!

We have had Stoke, United. Arsenal and Everton away from home in the first 9 games that was never an easy run.

I really, really like the fact that the posters on redcafe are almost hoping for LVG to be sacked so they get Klopp in. They really rate him and like him. I sooo hope we get him. I'm already looking forward to the first games under him Haven't watched a full game for weeks.

"Wenger likes having the ball, playing football, passes, it's like an orchestra. But it's a silent song, yeah? I like heavy metal," he said.

"Fighting football is what I like. What we say in German is English football. A rainy day, a heavy pitch, everybody is dirty in the face and they go home and can't play football for the next four weeks. This is Borussia."

Gary Mac and Sean O'Driscoll have been removed (Ljinders stays) so you'd have to believe the new manager is already a done deal and the new team will be installed very soon.

About his wife, Ulla, Klopp says: "She wrote a book for children. There's no Harry Potter flying on his ****ing stick – just football." ...
