Jürgen Klopp

[vlahka]

Less about Klopps style and formation, more to do with too many players being out of form and gutless. Is it really his fault that we cant string 2-3 passes together and rarely win any loose balls? Seeing him standing on the sidelines he had a face of pure bewilderment and annoyance. It's like he sees one thing in training, and when they get to the game its a totally different display. Considering how most of them played for much of the season, its beyond the pale that so many of them have decided to go out of form at the same time. Weak mentality. We see it every season. He'll give them this season to prove themselves and then its straight replacing time.

I said something similar lately. The fact that practically the whole squad has been collectively out of form for so long is bewildering really. Leading me down the conspiracy theory route.

Klopp didn't look arsed last night and he just mumbled his way through the post match interview. Was a bit bizarre really. I am seriously worried the team aren't playing for him anymore.

Well it's very possible that some players know that the writing is on the wall and can't be arsed anymore this season. If that's the case, our season will peter out as badly as Rodgers' last full season with us. Happy times.

I thought you weren't offering any theories? Have you picked up a successful managerial record since last page?

I ain't. It's merely an extrapolation from the previous poster's comments. Not my thoughts at all.

No but it looks like he's got a new copy of the Oxford English Dictionary

Kev; are you still in Germany?

What are they making of Herr Klopp over there?

Do they think he's been found out or that he has the wherewithall to get things right?

They love him, tip him as eventually taking over the National team.

I just think people expected to much from him, he will get it right and make us competitive but his methods take time. FSG prefer his methods to buy low and coach rather than Jose who buys big and ready.

If you want instant success, go follow the Mancs or City or Chelsea.

We can't or won't go down that route.

Do you think that we will see a massive exodus from here?

He was absolutely seething in the interview I saw. Really being careful about what he said though as he was so angry, maybe that's what you mistook for not caring?

The team are playing for him too, we've just got too many glaring weaknesses when we lose a couple of players. We rely on high energy in midfield, yet only have one player (Hendo) who can consistently supply it and Can who adds so little he actually seems to absorb it. We rely on pushing up the pitch to compress the space for counter pressing, yet when we do Lucas is a sitting duck if he's picked at CB. We rely on having a striker who can work and press as well as being a goal threat, yet haven't got an alternative if Firmino has a dip in form. We rely on pace to break down teams that park the bus, yet only have Mane in the squad with pace.

Despite all that, we do have various plans B, C and D, contrary to what people are saying on here. We tried three different formations in the Leicester game. What people mean is we don't have a big lad up front. But we've tried that in the past with Carroll, Lambert, Benteke etc. and we're no better off. What we really need is some depth so that we're not picking the same team regardless of form when they are all fit, and so that we aren't criminally exposed when we have to pick Lucas and Can.

...What people mean is we don't have a big lad up front....

i think we need some big men all over the pitch, especially at the back and in midfield.

too many midgets who get too easily chucked aside like a used wanksock.

What does everyone mean by "mentally weak"? It seems to be one of the more prominent theories on here about our poor form. I'm unsure as what Fredo's points are. He seems a bit like a seat filler at an awards show who can't seem to just sit there and clap politely as required but insists on doing solo standing ovations in the middle of the "who died this year" section and giving constant thumbs up signs to the camera.

re mentally weak...
i reckon too many of these lightweights just dont fancy a battle when other teams go at us and get a bit physical. they have footballing ability but are too easily put off their A game with a little bit of rough stuff from the bigger naughtier boys from those bad teams who wont play football the way we want them to.
its then a game of trying not to look too **** as an individual, just keep doing the safe pass and dont give away possession etc.
