Jürgen Klopp

Not really that surprising when forced changes like injuries get factored in along with regular rotation etc.


I recall rotation being something that was used by certain sections of the media to bash Rafa with, so no surprise to see Klopp getting a mention when his team tops the rotation stats.

[dww]

Did Klopp just implicitly call the Beatles a boyband

[BobTheCharmer]

Yep. Last season he stuck rigidly to the same 12 or 13 players, presumably because we lacked options (Woodburn and TAA routinely on the bench) and he didn't trust our back up - then we imploded and couldn't win a game for 2 months.

The squad is being managed much better because we have more and better options. I don't think we'll implode this time.

True, the options are much better this year and freshness should be a major factor. But on the flip side we are a lot of points off the top and have really only beaten arsenal of note. If we have a strong second half of the season, I'll agree it's good! Traditionally teams that win the league don't change the key positions very often.

Ha, that my my first thought too. It was a criminal offense to rotate back then, particularly before a European game.

Wasn't it actually proven that within the same time period Sir Drunken Bacon face actually made more changes to his starting line up than Rafa did but there was not a peep out of the press about it.

yep he made either more or very close to what Rafa did, but only Rafa got criticism for it.

Because he won title after title and rafa didn't.

I ****ing hate them pal. But they won lots of trophies. That can't be disputed, through corruption, cheating whatever. They won a lot. We don't. They even picked up two last year even though we played the better football.

Danny Glover had really let himself go..

Yeah, he looks just like Garth Crooks.

****ing pathetic today. Feels like he's just messing about with the team for the sake of it now. And his use of subs, dear god it's spectacularly bad.

He took Firmino off at 5-0 v Spartak 72mins and still didnt start him today anyway. Could have had him off at ht and in the team today. Really bizarre.

Funny thing is our full team would probably have been 3 or 4 up at ht and we could have rested people then. Oh well.

[BobTheCharmer]

Why can't he just put the league first. **** everything else off. Utd will win to round the day off no doubt .

He is. Second half of the season last season we physically fell apart. We dominated the game today.

Massive **** up from Klopp.
