Seems significant to me that Klopp has had an uncalled for pop at Hamann. I think Hamann is a truly awful pundit, but he won the UCL with Liverpool and is one of Liverpool’s most blinkered cheerleaders in the media. It’s as if Klopp is so prickly at the moment he’s not even sure who he’s swinging at. Is Klopp going to have a go at Carragher if he’s critical of their performance on Sunday?

Add it to the list of reasons why it would be good if City smash them on Sunday.

Surely we want Liverpool to get something out of the game? As disgusting as that sounds.

Depends on whether you think we can keep up with City over 38 games. I don’t, so I think come May we’re more likely to be in a race for UCL qualification with Liverpool than a title race with City. But if you think we’re in a title race then, yes you’d prefer a Liverpool win.

Nope. We won't keep up with City over the full season. I don't care if that sounds defeatist, keeping Liverpool as far behind us as possible takes priority for me.

I think until we're a long way away then we have to look up rather than behind us. As it stands City haven't played anyone of note other than United at home and they're not even top.

Agreed, we should definitely be looking at City at present, although a draw wouldn't be bad at all.

I’d much prefer a city win. Spank Liverpool keep their confidence low and keep city undefeated. Last thing I was is the gooners 4 pts clear of them as well never hear the end of if

Plus being a possible 13 points ahead of Liverpool after 10 games would be pretty incredible. Basically a 5 win swing is a lot to make up.

Not a big fan of Klopp but the man does speak true facts at 4:42. Nobody can compete with city. It’s a football monopoly they have. Best tream adds best striker in the world. How can anyone compete? And the way it’s been done as-well with the money which has been used. I wonder if he will leave Liverpool soon as he knows it’s pointless.

You say that but spending money doesn’t equate to success, just look at United. I doubt anyone can compete with city but it’s not like they go out and spend 100-200m on every big name player. They’ve spent their money exceptionally well. Fergie used to spend huge sums, chelsea came in and spent huge sums and they didn’t dominate just as much.
He spent more money on Nunez and he allowed their midfield to regress badly, he should have demanded more money.

Klopp could have

I agree they spent well, but they are paying Haaland 900k a week which is unrealistic for any top team in the pl, including United.

Yeah it is. But in fergies days they were paying 350k a week for Rooney, it’s the same principle. United are paying ronaldo 500k a week now, they were paying Sanchez 500k a week etc.

They’ve bought and discarded £50m centre backs for fun to get to where they are. Pep has spent £1bn and still no champions league, the one competition where they can’t beat up on the little clubs every week. That’s not counting what was spent before he arrived, which is also a lot.

Is that spending exceptionally well? It’s consistent spending until things fall into place which is one of Klopp’s points.

Klopp’s point means that by replacing Mane with an expensive player (overpriced for sure, but trying to replace Mane’s quality) he couldn’t then address everything else needed because Liverpool are not a doped club. Clearly not as simple as just demanding more money - only the oil clubs can work on that model.
