ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3



I mean I'm sure there are some Blues who are just bitter and hate all RS players and managers, I'm not really like that. Benitez didn't mean what he said, with regards to the small club comment, I think it was a genuine mistake, it was out of character. Klopp is a strange one, because all his behavior seems contrived. When he came to Liverpool he took pictures with fans, drank in local pubs, things like that. Then you have all that bizarre fist bumping to the Kop. Sometimes managers have quirks but it fits with their personality, Wenger complaining about referees, SAF complaining about decisions fit with his personality. Even Hodgson lost the plot once in an interview. Klopps behaviour seems to change in a few seconds, he can go from really angry to polite, which isn't normal.

Yes agree with all of that.

The thing with Benitez was, he remained equally dislikeable and a bit dry throughout. He didnt really turn the charm on or off depending on the audience.

That's the impression people seem to have of Klopp now. He comes across as a bit of a false character.
 
This was an utter joy to read. Full of self pity and excuse making. It's a tour de force in cry-baby fan journalism.


Most of their stuff is just dirge. I read a piece with post boy Pearce the other day and hes traipsing up apparently it rained in pre season which affected morale as a reason.

I'm not going to waste time reading this, but can I guess the reasons are:
1) Pickford/Everton
2) Var/refs
3) No fans- it uniquely affects them as only they gain or lose advantage (this will not be in any way quantified)
4) Schedule (again it wont take into account others having the same predicament)
5) Injuries (separate to point 1, but again will not take into account injuries to others).

How many of those excuses is it listing?

All them plus throwing the two young CBs under the bus.

In the very few RS games I watch I’ve never seen the camera go on a manager so much, it’s weird
Must be in the skyBT rules

RS shoot, show Klopp reaction
Oppo shoot, Show Kloop reaction
Best Mid in DA World passes 5 yards, show Klopps reaction

The media has always portrayed Klopp as a manager every loves, when the truth is, you would love him if he was your manager but everyone else can’t stand him.
When he ran on the pitch against us, any other manager would of got a ban but not Klopp, the media made out he was right to do it and it’s part of the game.
Had Mourinho done it, would have been a totally different story
 
I worked on match days when i was a student (i needed the money!) with the exception of the YAWN karaoke at the beginning, its like a library. Baffles me how many buy into this great atmosphere malarkey.
I actually think on a lot of occassions the crowd work against them at Anfield.
The season before last when we pipped them by a point to the title was a prime example.
SKY had scheduled virtually all of the matches so they played first and the pressure was
all on City to play catch up and win. I watched a few of their games. The crowd were a nightmare!
If they hadn't scored in the first 30 minutes the crowd starting getting, nervous, edgy and went deathly quiet.
This transmitted itself to the players for sure and did them no favours at all. As you say, apart from the piped
in music at the begining it really isn't anything special. Go to any ground when the home team is playing a
big rival and the atmosphere is good. Klanfield is nothing special at all. I've been there in the past when City
played them (I got kicked out and was on MOTD being escorted out of the ground - but that's another story!)
and it is bang average at best and thats when are winning. Another media created myth which is constantly
perpetuated until it becomes fact. Goebbels had nothing on these guys. Infact he could have learnt a thing or two.
