Can you explain why people would hold a grudge against him please?

Only rational, non-personal, explanation I can think of is his approach to the CL? Just a suggestion, I dont have anything against him

Goal that

I think Jiminez is a cracking player, wouldn’t happen probably but could he be a Bobby understudy.

Great finish.

Everyone wanking over Leicester, yet this amazing side is 8 pts behind us having dropped 10 pts already while we are once again on a winning run (7 on the bounce), cruising in games and playing in the CL.

Being 8 points behind us in the form we're in is pretty amazing though, they're on course for a 90 point season.

If Graham Potter called round to service my boiler (no euphemism), I wouldn’t bat an eyelid. Doesn’t look like a Premier League manager but seems to be doing a decent job.

I like Brighton. They try to do things a bit different to most mid table teams full of cloggers.

Yep, he's a decent change from the usual crap.

Terrible pass gifts Wolves the equaliser.

Potter will be livid with that. No half time oranges for the players them.

Oh it is great what they are doing, but we are on course for 112pts and not getting the respect that deserves. We really should be looking at doing the treble this season

Hinchcliffe has just informed us that with both coaches making late subs, it’s because both want to win the game.

I admit I’m gobsmacked - football managers trying to win a football match. Whatever next.

Wish teams would try against us more, instead of cowering in their own box.

Its tactical. Some teams don't even try to win games but rather try to draw or limit damage as GD can make a difference to premier league survival.

One reason why United get to score a lot more during counter attacks was because teams treat them as lower or at most equal. They know they have a chance against them. In contract, the number of counter attacks we had in comparison with Klopp's first 3 seasons appears to have fallen off.

Off a cliff yeah. That was our entire gameplan- the ultimate aim of our pressing, which was the fundamental aspect of our game. We was prolly (and I'm adding "prolly" because I don't want to sound like an arse) the best counter attacking team under Klopp in the league until the start of 2018.
With the acquisitions of Fabinho and to a lesser extent, VVD, we just dropped that game immediately and stepped up into a new level of control.

Compared to our game before, we've had rare incidents of scoring on the counter.

Wait a min, I m confused.
You re saying that Potter is a servicer of Boilers?

Just to make sure that noone gets hurt, can be all 3 things at once: ie a Potter, a Servicer of Boilers AND a football coach playing tikitake with a team of cloggers?
That would be the holy troika I wish for.
