Jürgen Klopp

[BigChief]

Klopp has made it known he wants to give his squad the rest of the campaign to prove themselves.

(Chris Bascombe)

Good, as it translates to: You're not in my plans. Change my mind quickly!

[The_weatherman]

I think he'll call it as he sees it in the summer, everyone will have gotten a fair chance and those who don't take it need to move on.

[Fosterbloke]

It's clear that this season is one of learning with no expectations of top four.

Cups seem to be our priority.

How painful will this be until the end of the season? We already know how spineless a lot of our players are.

They have shown they have it in them to show up, they just need to kop on that they can never ever take the foot off the Gaz in any game in any ground because if you do, you will get done, time and time again

No Winter Break Hurts England, says Klopp.

I wish people wouldn't bring this up EVERY bloody year. Its what we do here, most of us love watching the football over Christmas, the players are very well rewarded for it, and they're not alone in working over the festive period.

Lets hope Jurgen doesn't dish us up another turkey like the last one.

I haven't listened to it but from the quotes mentioned in the article he doesn't say anything about a winter break. He said there's too many tournaments and he's spot on there. There's no need for two domestic cups, the league cup should have been binned off years ago.

I like football over the festive period myself and you can bet your bottom dollar if there was a winter break clubs would use the time off to fly to Dubai or wherever and play lucrative money spinning friendlies instead of playing league football.

Bin the league cup, spread the remaining fixtures out more sensibly.

There's also fewer league games in Germany. They should ditch the League Cup and reduce the league to 18. Can't see it happening though.

People will probably keep saying it until we stop being idiots and change things.

It was **** when Klopp said it last year and it's **** now that he's said it again this year

I agree with all of that. As long as they leave the festive fixture list alone, I'm ok. I really couldn't give a damn about International football.

Winter break is absolutely a good thing - just need to do it right.

Play Christmas/NewYear programme of games and the 3rd round of the FA Cup but then two weeks off until third weekend January. To help accommodate this the League Cup would need to end in December and the FA Cup with no replays then end the season with the last Sunday of May. Its only two weeks but allowing players to get some sun or recovery time at the club could make all the difference.

[G]

Except they wouldn't get any time off. Have a look at what Madrid and Barca do during their winter "break". It isn't letting the lads sun themselves or recover.

There's money to be made, premier league clubs would use any break to make some.

[redmike65]

That is the downfall it has to be said.
