I'm not talking about that. I'm referring to the comments in here acting like Klopp isn't going to succeed off the back of two matches.

I think what we can criticise is the massive overreaction to his appointment, he could be a success I agree but Liverpool fans are acting like he is some kind of messiah and can turn plop to gold

We've had the fuss over Klopp's first game in English football.
We've had the fuss over Klopp's first home game in English football.
What's left?
First win.
First home win.
If the first win is at home then there can be a fuss about his first away win.
As I write this Sky announce that Sunday will witness Klopp's first Premiership home game. :oops:

We can also look forward to the fuss over Klopp's first Capital Cup game and Klopp's first FA Cup game. Not to mention Klopp's first replay, Klopp's first extra time and Klopp's first penalty shoot-out.

Klopp's first game when they wear their third kit. The possibilities are endless. Can't wait.

Klopps first poopy-plops ?

If there's one thing we learned these last few years, it's nothing was ever Brendas fault......so it wasn't.

I'm looking forward to Das Beauts descent into madness.

At what point does it stop being Rodger's-not-Rodger's-but-the-transfer-committee's fault and start becoming Klopp's? Three months in? Five?
 

I've been away all week in Budapest, has the new era begun yet or has it been put back until Sunday? It's been bliss with no RS media Klopp hyperbole.
 
A year ago since they got their undies pulled down by Real Madrid in front of der faymus kop. That was the beginning of the end for Brenda, that

He's jumped at Liverpool when Bayern wouldn't budge on an assurance on him succeeding Guardiola.

I believe it's all a bit 'coals to Newcastle' this 'full throttle' stuff. It had an impact on the Bundesliga when that league was a lot more one paced than it is today after his Dortmund team had a big effect. However, England is the home of all action 100 mph footy and he's coming into a crowded market.

I can well imagine Liverpool went for Ancelotti. They'd have been better off making him a massive offer and one he couldn't refuse.

Ancelotti wouldn't have touched them with a barge pole.

What's becoming clear are 2 things. 1) They are operating a completely flawed "moneyball" plan & 2) Post Rodgers they are not willing to shift form it.

Klopp coming out and defending the committee, defending selling his best players, saying he's not worried about looking for cheaper recruits etc is very clear evidence that he is on board with FSG plan. No top manager would accept a committee made up of computer nerds looking to shoehorn a method used is baseball onto a completely different sport played in another continent selecting cut price players as acceptable.

I kind of dreaded the day they sacked Rodgers. I always thought they'd not only bin him off but also reflect that there are no shortcuts or easy solutions with football which (unlike baseball) is a global game. I thought that reflection may have meant they gave the manager the choice of how to spend 300 million and they might start doing what Benitez did which was signings good players for good money. With a top manager (like Ancelotti) they would be very dangerous with that approach.

United are not the force they were, Chelsea are a farce and Wenger isn't the manager he was. Look back to some of those Benitez teams, with Alonso, Gerrard, Mascherano, Agger, Torries etc I would say they would be the strongest team in the league currently. I was really worried that when Rodgers went we'd see a return to that.

As it is they are now linked with an 18 year old from Porto for 35 million. It is an utter farce. Two games is a short time to judge someone but after two games I knew that Martinez grasped what was required to make a winning/creative team. More importantly than just his obsession with pressing, Klopps press conference about the broad outlook of the club don't worry me one bit. He is going to enable FSG to keep living out their fantasy of moneyball.

This Liverpool, under this manager and their ownership are going to get nowhere near winning the top trophies. I could see them going backwards as Klopp could end up losing the plot with these.
