You do know we stopped playing "heavy metal football" after Kiev? You know this right?
We're run into the ground. You can see that right?

We definitely had a shot on target. Not saying it was a good one like. But just an objective fact.

As does anyone who thinks he has done enough to be given the rest of the season.


Knobs to the left of me and knobheads to the right.

Of course you would  try to interpert my words into something they're not  :D Klopp has a right to do whatever he likes as long as he's here, he's deserved that. I said this season because the post was talking about 5 losses in a row,bla blah, and the state of this season. Anyone with half a brain and who ha read my posts pertaining to the manager and this side knows my opinion about Klopp and what I think of him.

But of course since you're in question, you want to jibe right in at me. Tit  :D

Unhappy? Fuck me, I’m just as unhappy as anyone. But unlike some posters, I’m able to retain a semblance of objectivity. Did Chelsea deserve that win? Undoubtedly. Did they pulverise us? No way. A sense of perspective is needed.

But what does that really mean? Burnley didn't pulverize us. Brighton didn't pulverize us. Everton didn't pulverize us. And we got a total of 0 points out of all those games just as we did tonight as well.

We had the Wijnaldum header with five minutes to go.  Granted it's not a lot to show for over half the possession but it was an attempt on target.

Jota looked decent first game back though. We need him to get up to speed again ASAP.

 Too much is being made of Jota's return and when VVD returns, etc. If they come back and the team does not improve then they fall in the "shit" bracket by so called fans who have commented on our form this season.

 I believe that Klopp has some major decisions to make at the end of the season, and any top notch signings will be difficult without Champions league football.

This season - sadly I think we will finish 7th or 8th - with the real chance we will miss out of European football all together. I want to be optimistic, but this season has been one step forward and then 2 back!

Your point was that Klopp was all about "heavy metal football" rather than tactics. I was just pointing out that since he replaced heavy mental football with some of the most tactially astute management this country has seen we won a Champions League and got 196 points over two seasons.

I don't think some people here understand how catastrophic to miss out on top 4. Do you think our owners would magically shell put over 100 million to rebuild this team without CL football ?

Do you think our main players would want to stick around without top 4 ? I don't want to go back to the days of losing our key player in the summer.

Heavey metal football hasn't been played since Kiev, so your point is irrelevant. in fact, Klopp and the rest of the coaching staff has made tactical  adjustments and tweaks, which allowed him to produce two incredible seasons following that. So again your post about him being more of a motivator, is invalid as well.

Maybe we'll have the opportunity to play him as the 6 this season, and I would love to see that, but I don't expect it. He was rusty tonight, understandable, but he was poor, and I don't think he would have performed much better in the midfield.
I think we’re at the point now where we might as well play Fabinho as the 6 alongside Wijnaldum and Keita / Jones. We’ve got nothing to lose so might as well go for broke. Ben Davies has fell off the planet despite being in training this week. Is Phillips now injured too?

Something has to change, the way we're playing isn't working.  Fab needs to go back to the number 6 role and put Nat and Kabak at CB.

He's said as much himself. So have his players. It's the very reason he is so invested in the relationship between the team and the fans. It's heavy metal football because he finds excessive orchestration boring.

I'm surprised you find it so controversial, but maybe you could point to the tactical changes he's introduced to prevent a calamitous run of 5 successive home defeats and barely a shot on goal in any of them?

Shit happens. It's a farcical season, behind closed doors, beset by injuries, during a global pandemic with a manager who's just lost his Mum and couldn't even go to her funeral. Klopp can point to a league title, CL, World Club Championship, 97pts one season, 99pts the next ... and all on a comparative shoestring.

Can't think of a single manager in World football who could have done what he's done. Were he to leave we'd all recognise what we'd lost when a replacement gets nowhere near his achievements on the same budget.

We've been depressingly shit recently and it's frustrating - but over the course of the last few years he's shown plenty of ability to adapt and change it up. We didn't just carry on playing heavy mental football, Klopp changed it because it led to us coming up short. And his changes came off, bigtime.

Get Ox in hasn't been the answer since he did his knee against Roma. He's just not a very good footballer anymore sadly.

Everybody looks at football for escapism.  This season the players we're watching are looking for escapism.  They're going through the same shit we are, losing family, can't see loved ones, lack of liberty.  It's a horrible leveller.

We should be doing better, every professional in football is going through the same, the circumstances don't negate strange decisions, but the least Klopp deserves is a full season where people, including the players and staff, aren't worried shitless about things.  Having loads of money doesn't mean you don't worry about loved ones you have scattered around the world.

Have we censored you Dan? Not really as you're having your free say in this thread. It wasn't just the Mods, but long standing posters said years ago we shouldn't even have player threads because they easily turn vicious when someone has a bad game. A locked thread protects people from their own reactions.

Surely you get that?

Klopp needs help. He needs better assistants.

When everyone is fit it's easier to keep playing the same style and you don't need to change much but when we needed something different our coaching staff failed. Our front 3 played together for a long time yet most games they look lost and don't know what to do ? and some games we just keep crossing nothing else ? Not only our attacking players are struggling also the coaches.

Klopp has given the reason why he was subbed tonight.
Didn't see his interview. I still don't think I'll agree with him. I think I read that he said he was feeling the pace of the game, I still don't agree with the decision. Mané was ineffective and seemed to be struggling with the pace himself. All of Klopp's substitutions baffled me tonight, as he says himself he doesn't always get the decisions right so maybe tonight was one of those nights?  Anyway on to Fulham at the weekend, I still haven't given up hope on the top 4. Fixtures aren't too bad and Klopp has pulled many a rabbit out of his hat since he's been at Anfield.

Can you tell us all what he was thinking tactically making those subs and why you aren't a world class manager, given you know better than Jurgen? Fucking gobshites galore don't have a rashers yet think they are fucking experts.

I have no idea what he was thinking with the subs, I don't really criticize his subs as I can see the reasoning behind it in most cases. Today I couldn't. 

Salah is our  biggest goal threat. He was taken off with 30 minutes to go. He says he wants to protect him and I understand that, but perhaps that could be done against Fulham? Moving on to Ox, who has been ineffective in all his cameos since his injury. This also wasn't the game for him to exploit the opposition as he's not effective breaking down a disciplined side. he's great in open space.

keita on the other hand excels in driving the ball, and progressing the ball.


The last sub which was Milner, again didn't make sense to me as Milner is ineffective with such little time left.

Again, I don't usually have problems with his subs, and I've never really commented on it in recent history, today I was puzzled by the logic of it.

Ultimately they were ineffective subs as they made no impact on the game. Now had they been for fitness issues, that I can understand.
