Klopp

[Steve0]

If Liverpool were getting Brian Cough circa 1979 people on here would still find something bitter to say.

He didn't achieve much after that year tbf.

Remember when "death by possession" Rodgers was appointed and every fan and player immediately fell into the rhetoric of "playing football the right way" and "controlling possession"? And now, on the eve of Plopp, I've already read a few LFC fan/journalists (curiously every fan seems to be a self-appointed journalist) insisting that real, proper, exciting football is coming back to Anfield after all that tiki-taka rubbish.

What's telling is their capriciousness, how easily and completely changeable they are. They are not looking for a good manager but some kind of spiritual saviour they can believe in mindlessly. It's creepy and, I think, sort of tragic. Helpfully, Plopp has exactly the persona and psychopathic smile of a cult leader.

One or two years of success for the RS is one or two years too much in my book!

They'd have had something relevant to say because Brian Clough did his stuff at clubs unfashionable and with little expectation, and no intrusiveness into his methods. If he'd have walked into LFC in 1979 he'd have been guzzling down two bottles of JD per day rather than the one he was necking at Forest at that time.

...and that principle holds true with Klopp to Liverpool now.

and of course it was the Everton Job he wanted anyway, isn't he quoted as saying it's the 1 job he really wanted ? something about making it so that lot weren't even the top team in the city never mind the country.

Good luck harrying defences with Benteke and Sturridge up front. You'll have 1 subbed after ten minutes for snapping a cartilage, and the other subbed at half time through fatigue lol

IIRC he was available and the Everton board in their wisdom overlooked him. Same for Bobby Robson too.

There's a report today saying that Klopp has said he was looking at Benteke for Dortmund after Lewendowski left for Bayern. If that's true he defo did have a breakdown in that final season with Dortmund.

My prediction

Klopp to be Kop flop

He'll be gone inside 2 years and they will be back to square one, looking for somebody to come in with a fillosoffy and a five year plan.

Yes, they are very desperate in their need to hero worship. Which they are having a hard time doing because there are no heroes in that side.

Deal been announced.
Bit gutted to be honest.

...I know it's not a nice sentiment for somebody starting a new job but I hope he's not very good.

17 pages. Smfh. They signed a manager that's won stuff, just deal with it and hope he doesn't take to the English game.
