Carragher was dead on last night I thought. They look like an ageing side on the way down. The replacements aren't showing the levels the old guard used to, at least not yet, and things are starting to look stale.

Long may it continue.

The early signings by Klopp all seemed to work out. Oxlade Chamberlain, Mane and Salah were far from guaranteed successes but were superb. Then when they spent big in VVD and Alison they were excellent as well.

Their recent signings might work out but aren’t the immediate successes of many of their previous signings.

I really didn’t see it coming. I thought they were being good in the transfer market.

They started signing players who had only one good season (Gakpo with 2 good seasons). It's less risky for them though since they can sell any player for 30m+.

VVD confirmed out for at least a month.

Assuming Matip and Konate can stay fit I don't think this weakens them that much tbh. VVD has looked far off it this season.

Don't watch that much of other teams tbh, but I did watch most of their game yesterday. They really do go after it and fight and scrap for everything and it gets the crowd going in a way we could only dream of. We've been so bloody passive and lethargic by comparison and we're meant to be amongst the fittest. How I wish for the days when we used to press teams hard and force them into mistakes. Credit where it's due, Klopp does try to play exciting football, even when things aren't working out particularly well.

Annoying this as we can do it, our 2-2 drawn game at home with pool last year we really got stuck in. It was brilliant game.

Just ‘likeable’ ‘all-round nice guy’ Jurgen Klopp being a prick when asked the same questions every other manager is being asked…

again.


The manager of any other club would get hammered for this sort of thing.

To be fair isn't that what the BBC are implying by isolating that part of the press conference? They can't come out and say "Look at him being a dick again", but anyone watching it can see it.

Strong parallels to the end of Klopp’s reign at Dortmund with what’s happening at pool.
Inevitable with gegenpress, players get mentally and physically exhausted. Also they started taking more risks with transfers, spending huge money on players who had only one good season. VVD regressed from all-time great CB to a mediocre one, Matip got injured after his best season ever, Jota injured just when he was on fire etc. Klopp is a terrible loser so it probably won't end well for them.
