Jürgen Klopp

[labourRed]

He had a bench with kids most of the time, a midfielder at left back, and had to deal with tons of injuries to our main players including our man striker. He was up against Guardiola, Mourinho who have spent 100s of millions of pounds on an already expensive squad. He has managed to get us fourth with all of this issues. And when we had anything approaching a full-strength first team, the football was brilliant.

Fourth is a wee bit disappointing given where we were in winter but our final league position is impressive given what he was up against. Provides us with a base to build on. He may have his flaws (on the defensive side) but we have a very special manager at our helm. Credit where its due.

No way were we going to sustain anything more with our injuries. We're not lucky Chelsea.

...had to deal with tons of injuries to our main players including our man striker....

And man strikers are important!

Can't wait to see what he does in the summer now we are looking at CL football. He's done a wonderful job with the squad he has and hardly spending a penny. If FSG give him the resources the sky's the limit.

[red g]

been here before but feels like a real crossroads for FSG. The time to invest is now and push this great club onwards

[Leyton388]

I think they now realise they have a man in charge whom they can trust so won't have any issue giving him the money he needs. Unlike Brendan get me Joe Allen or I'll walk Klopp has proved himself.

We can't have another window like we did in 2014 and I don't think we will as we have a world renowned and respected manager rather than a snake oil salesman who asks his captain to send text messages to players to try get them to sign as he has zero credibility.

That texting thing was kind of sad

On the verge of something special for the first time since Rafa (apologies to King Kenny)

Board need to seriously back him in the summer. 4th with the injuries, limited squad, 5th highest wage bill and our net spend is a fantastic achievement.

[red g]

When he has spent big, It has worked. Mane was player of the year and Wijnaldum is definitely the player for the big occasion.

i Think they way we qualified is hopefully a blessing and Klopp knows that we are still way short to have a decent crack at the Prem and CL.

3 major signings and a couple of squad players and we should really kick in for next season.

[Bender]

i think the biggest issue for Klopp and LFC this season was our injuries....Mane injured and the Afcon cup,Lallana injured 2,3 times this season and Henderson along with Sturridge....we could quite easily have challenged for 2nd spot....Hope we sign quality and improve our options on the subs bench.

[Tee]

Mistakes have been made, some more often than we can sometimes tolerate, but we have the right man in charge and I think with the backing he will put us back on our perch very soon.

The defining aspect of this Premier League season has been the increase in competition at the top of the table. Chelsea earned 43 more points than 2015/16, Tottenham 16 more points, Liverpool 16 more, Manchester City 12 more, Arsenal four more and Manchester United three more. The races for the title and top four have been marathons run at a sprinter’s pace.

read that in an article tonight, makes top 4 even more impressive with all the **** we have had to contend with, Specially when we were the outsiders of the top 6 clubs for a top 4 finish.

[dom9]

I have a feeling this was the highest points total required to secure top four, since top four became a thing.

[ChesterDave]

Most points for top 4 since 4 cl places and more competitive but last year was a poor barometer. Every year since 4 cl places bar 2013/14 4th could have been secured with Arsenals points haul for 2nd.
