Ornstein saying he’s likely going. For those that don’t know he’s a tier 1 source pretty much the best.

Don't know if posted before but there are some striking similarities here.


- A number of players have 'maxed out'. Schmelzer, Pisczek, Weidenfaller all a shadow of them former selves. Klopp struggling to get more out of them.
- Defensively shot and the high octane football is gone.
- Klopp struggling to motivate his squad, replace departures and feels his voice is no longer working.
- A rebuild is suggested as too many players are either done or have been poor signings. They could not replace Lewandowski properly.
- Key CMs struggling with injuries - both Gundogan and Sahin are not relied upon.

Anyway JJ is uber-tier source

I would say he was the only one saying that Liverpool would have quiet summer, and won't buy any stars. So yes, he's tier 1 not only for Arsenal.
It was the phrase "tier 1" that provoked the gif. Similar to use of the acronym "MVP", it needs to be nuked from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Don’t know if Poch but...



“There’s a lot of tactical work. Every day I’m learning. Training’s totally different. For me, that’s perfect. I’m getting help off one of the best coaches in the world.”

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise...

Don't you get bored of making the same point over and over again :D

:sneaky:

Love your posts but LOL. if you are calling him out, you probably need to call out another 146 people. I guess that would create the longest thread of all time.

drips and drabs at that are pretty cutting if you read between the lines

“There’s a lot of tactical work. Every day I’m learning. Training’s totally different. For me, that’s perfect. I’m getting help off one of the best coaches in the world.”

“You see sometimes last season or before I was maybe putting the ball in the box for the sake of it. Look at the goal [Álvaro] Morata scored from [Ángel] Correa’s pass [against Athletic]. At Tottenham I would have just crossed that, but there’s three v one so I came back out, played it to Koke, Koke to Ángel, Ángel to Morata, goal. It’s practice.”

“We do that with England too, with Gareth,” Trippier adds swiftly. “If it’s not on, turn out, play to Hendo [Jordan Henderson]. You see the one at the World Cup with Jesse Lingard. It’s not just throwing the ball in the box, hoping they get on the end of it.”

A feeling lingers that something wasn’t right at Spurs, the occasional hint of something really wrong. After last year perhaps Spurs aren’t such a surprise. After the World Cup perhaps his problems weren’t either, an inevitable low following that high? “Personally I don’t think it was anything to do with the World Cup,” he replies. “Sometimes you need a break but that’s not an excuse either.
