Nice interview and clip. He really is focused on establishing a legacy here, isn't he? Not just winning here and there but winning as routine. And he wants to be the one taking the difficult decsions about when to move players on that he likes.

Kloppo being tongue tied meeting Boris Becker  That's actually very cute!

Jurgen Klopp is now speaking, and BBC's Olly Foster just asked the Liverpool manager if he feels he is on the eve of achieving something special.

He paused before replying: "The situation is different for us as it is for Flamengo. They came here with a clear order to win it and come back home as heroes. We got told to stay at home and play in the League Cup.


BRILLIANT from Jurgen and a proper dig at the FA and the English Media

it's really good! Colin Murray has a nice down to earth way of interviewing, so it's very chatty, rather than usual same old same old.

Better than Lineker for sure. You sense everytime Lineker interviews Klopp he would always try to take a dig at our manager and thinks it is funny.

Lineker acts like a frustrated comedian. Always trying to joke. I don’t think any of his “digs” are out of malice, just him having fun. Loves his puns etc.

When he wins the PL they'll have to name a stand after him.

He's also a massive Liverpool fan. One played poker with him in London, and spent the entire time talking to about Liverpool. This was about 10 years ago, and we weren't in such a great place then. Like us, I bet he's delighted with Klopp and where the club is now.

Klopp’s pact with the Devil
I’ve been thinking for a while that, as ridiculous as it sounds, Jurgen Klopp has made some sort of pact with Beelzebub!

I’ve watched Liverpool have almost no bad luck for 2 seasons, & tonnes of good variety.
And before moronic Liverpool fans shout about “the odd penalty & deflection”,  I define bad luck as “getting less than your performance deserves at the end of a game”.

If you’re denied a penalty, but still go on to win the game, that’s not bad luck!  Can anyone tell me the last time Liverpool got less than they deserved in a game?

ADVERTISING

I can list 2 dozen games where they got more, in the recent past the Sheff Utd, Man Utd, Aston Villa & even Watford games they got undeserved results.  No matter how badly they play, something comes to their rescue, be it VAR (was it introduced for the sole purpose of making Liverpool champions?), a deflection, a goalkeeping error etc.  All external factors go for them too, Norwich, possibly the worst team in PL, play 2 decent games, & they happen to be against City & Leicester,  Pool’s closet rivals!? All greatest teams in PL history, the likes of Arsenal’s invincibles & United’s treble winners, had days when the ball just wouldn’t go in the net.  Not Klopp’s Liverpool, it just does not happen to them!?  How many times have you watched a side batter the opposition, & still lose 0-1?  Seen it with Liverpool the last couple of seasons?  Probably seen more flying pigs!

They’re almost immune to injuries too, specially to key players. Is it really possible to play high-pressing game for 2 seasons & not pick up any injuries?  And again before the morons shout about “credit to medical dept”, how does medical dept help you avoid bad tackles or awkward landing when you jump etc?  Every now & gain they get the odd injury, for a perfunctory week or two, just so the public don’t get too suspicious about 11 robots masquerading as football players!

And the one time Klopp isn’t around, the exact opposite happens!?  They concede a deflected goal, a free kick goes straight in etc.!  I think they even had a player actually get injured!!?

So now I’m convinced this guy has sold his soul to the devil, so my message to the rest of the PL is this: just accept it, Liverpool will win the title this year, and for as long as the pact continues.

Lets hope it’ll expire once they win the title!
Fred, London

I mean there was literally a potentially bad injury to a player in this very game, a player who has missed much of the last two years due to injury. And in this showpiece Final was without our key midfielder and two key defenders, all of whom are out for more than ''a perfunctory week or two''. Or that players like Keita and Shaq and Gomez and Ox and Lallana are only just getting back into the groove after ages out or in and out due to injury.

Critics literally seem unable to notice the facts when it comes to our injuries.

[Red Beret]

#unbearables

Immune to injuries?  The "odd" injury?

Where was Alisson the first 8 games of the season?  Why have we missed The Cube for so many months?  He does know Ox lost a year, right?  Fabinho?  Every defender we have whose name isn't "Virgil"?  Fucking mental this one!

The one time Klopp wasn't around happened to also be the time the entire first team wasn't around either!  Oh, my sides!  I'm dying!  Haven't had such a good laugh in ages, thank you!!

[deFacto please, you bastards]

So where was our luck against Real in Kiev? How about against Sevilla? How about in the league cup final against City?

[Samie]

Yes our deal with the devil included us not being League champions in 30 years, we needed a better negotiator than Rick Parry. 

[Eeyore]

I think the biggest problem that is that we have become ridiculously good at overcoming adversity. Look at last night. We had a stonewall penalty denied. Hit the post and then had one of the worst VAR decisions ever go against us. The VAR officials were sure it was a foul but wanted the Ref to decide if it was in the penalty area or outside.

Two possible outcomes a penalty and a yellow card or a free kick and a red card. VAR didn't show the angle that showed the contact because both themselves and the Ref had decided it was a foul. Inexplicably the Ref gave a bounce ball. Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves we just overcame adversity. 

The same thing happened in the Champions League we were on the receiving end of shocking decisions against Napoli both home and Away. Again we overcame adversity and finished top of the group.

The same thing has happened time and time again in the League. Again we overcome adversity.

The harder we work and the better we get the luckier we become.

Come on Ghostie. They have a narrative to uphold you know.

They aren't going to let the actual facts get in the way, are they?

[the_red_pill]

Come on Ghostie. They have a narrative to uphold you know.

They aren't going to let the actual facts get in the way, are they?

Yep. The narrative is - City's "under performance" is due to their "troubles" in defense, since they "lost" Aymeric Laporte. Their +50million backups are unable to keep pace with "Lucky, lucky Liverpool". But I thought just up until a month ago we had a "leaky defense"?

We're having trouble all over, but the red machine remains relentless. Being maintained in excellent fashion as it speedily bulldozes ahead!

Just listen to this drunk:

[mattD]

You do know that most in the English media will sincerely think this should be genuine sentiment and that Roy is the purveyor of all footballing wisdom? 

[mattD]

Anyone got the interview between Klopp and Wenger (part of BEin sports)?

[Red Beret]

Just want to add, re VAR, that whilst it has been far from perfect we are quite used to decisions going against us most of the time anyway, so I would say the negative impact has, perhaps, been slightly less than us than on other clubs - clubs that are used to having the rub of the green when it comes to dodgy decisions.

What that means is that we have a better mentality for handling poor decisions and just getting on with it than other teams who tend to chuck their toys out of the pram when decisions go against them.

Its dumb, its like saying I would like to City play without some random player. Who gives a toss.

Its just a stupid argument. Liverpool buys VVD because they need a defender, and because he doesn't get injured often. The whole point in paying 75mill is that he is the best, and that he plays all the time.

Actually a similar argument would be saying, I would like to see City challenge without any oil money. Its, dumb, its not the case. The situations are what they are, and that's how we play.

Moving on

He has got to be one of the more stupid pundits I have to listen to.

Also, just to prove its not because I am a Liverpool supporter being biased, I don't mind Gary Neville as a pundit, apart from when he is talking shit to Carragher about us and clearly being biased. I find every other time when he isn't taking the piss, he seems to be pretty good. (Just my opinion)

Merson is a 24 carat clown. That's the kind of shite 12 year old Everton cultists spout.

If you take a teams best players out, they'll suffer. We'll no shit Sherlock.

Why do some people forget that injuries are part and parcel of the game? All teams get them. We lost the world's best 'keeper at the start of the season. We've lost Fabinho recently. It's football. Abu Dhabi have enough talent stockpiled to cope with any eventually. If they struggle, they just shell out another hundred million or so on replacements.

The whole "if your players weren't good, you'd be shit" argument is really childish stuff.

[Morgana]

When he wins the PL they'll have to name a stand after him. 

Or just go for the 442oons stadium  nickname: JürgAnfield.

(Only joking).

Backwater publications linking us today with James Rodriguez again for some reason.  I mean if it was the Porto or Monaco James Rodriguez fair enough, the current one is pretty much useless.

[Samie]

O'Globo (Brazilian/Portuguese outlet) are reporting tonight that we're interested in the next crop of Brazilians. We're also back to the "Monitoring" days.   Shitty Brazilian names  though.

Liverpool are “monitoring” Fluminense youngsters Wallace and André and are set to send scouts to watch the pair in the upcoming U20 Copa São Paulo tournament.

Wallace is an attacking midfielder while André plays defensive midfield.
