Klopp reacts to Allardyce criticism...

"I'm glad for Sam, that such an experienced manager has time to think about Liverpool's problems."

Klopp on injuries...

"Coutinho is more serious than Dejan (Lovren). Kolo (Toure) is only cramp but it won't be possible for him to play the next game (against Exeter).

"Dejan will be available after Manchester United. Philippe will be two or three weeks longer."

[Gibbo]

So...the hamstring injuries.

Is it the players being less fit under Rodgers and now needing to be more, Klopps training being too harsh or a mixture of the two? what do we think

Klopp is on record as saying because of the hectic game schedule they DO NOT train, they recover

As far as I am concerned rodgers is responsible for this catastrophy

[danperkins]

A bit of both maybe

[Cormack74]

Does Allardyce deliberately set out to piss off other Managers or does he suffer from some form of opinion based Tourettes?

[Assassin]

He suffers from FUHS

[Fivex]

God complex. Remember the Real Madrid thing?

From the Ibe thread but the discussion probably more relevant here.

It's the games which seem to be getting the better of them. It's high intensity practically all the time. And people were laughing at Sturridge.

Its another reason why hanging on to Rodgers in the summer was a massive mistake. Could've had Klopp in early and getting the pre season done with him so that the players were fit enough from the off to cope with his style of play.

I'm not sure you have to believe either to be the case - seems at least possible that changing to different demands in training and matches cause issues (without either being problems of themselves).

With no time between games it is probably impossible to investigate problems properly.

Reading Klopp quotes he probably wasn't ready to takeover in the summer. I think we made the move as soon as he gave the signal.

Ok, might be the case - it was just an explanation of the low injury level they've had over the past few seasons, so thought it was something different.

My have a few mates playing in league 1 and 2 and I remember them wearing them for preseason maybe 3 years ago. Always remember thinking it'd be a nightmare trying to chest the ball

[danperkins]

Just watched his interview, the guy is absolutely brilliant!

[Tee]

Yes, what a character, you just cannot help but love him even if you don't support Liverpool.

[Nicey]

"Thanks for talking to us Jurgen" ........ shruggs shoulders ... smiles ... I have to
