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

[Walken]

Jurgen Klopp

Everyone's best mate until he can't get what he wants

Any other manager would be getting slaughtered for his attempts to take money away from the smaller clubs in the FA cup. Before that i actually always thought he spoke well on the 'bigger' subjects, but that just reeked of arrogance.

 

[ste d' indica]

Normal service resumed then sadly. Divine right to win every single game and complain when they don't.

If you went back in time then you could probably see that reaction after any defeat they have. A club who apparently shouldn't be getting beat by anyone

To be fair Mark 'the sage' Lawrenson has had them unbeaten for the last 20 odd years I think.

Made up we have Carlo, but if there is one gaffer on the planet i could have it would be simeone, not one ounce of backstep in his teams

Great personality, great manager but the football is a bit grim.

And they wonder where the "always the victims" thing comes from - their sense of entitlement is beyond belief!

Absolutely horrific to watch though. Argentinian Gravy-Ball. Never really been consistent goal scorers, one of the lowest scorers in La Liga this year, last night was a classic Simeone performance.

Depends what you want to see, I guess. It’s pragmatic and gritty, it’s very effective, but it’s not easy to watch week-in week-out.

Sadly that will still be true. If they weren't getting beat before they certainly won't be now.

He gets paid to do that , and the kopites wonder why most fans say there is a bias in the media.

I think he loves his work. the little corporate cretin....

Even more so this year. Nevertheless, it was successful last night as they're going to Analfield with a lead, knowing they're going to do their best to stifle them.

Beating liverpool is never grim

You best tell their fans then.

Their fans love him, but they have vastly different expectations to a Real Madrid, for example, where the aim is not just to win, but to win well.

I’m not saying Atletico fans enjoy bad Football, that’s not the case, but they evidently haven’t had the silverware of their cross town rivals so, as you’d expect, they measure their success in other ways.

As the underdog, they relish those kind of gritty performances. And, although very admirable, they certainly aren’t one for the purists. That’s what Simeone has churned out there, very successfully, for the best part of a decade now.

I actually enjoy watching them, no one else like them imo so its a good watch

 

[KaiserEFC]

The disproportionate amount of points they’ve dropped this season in Europe vs in the league suggests to me that the PL is in fact pretty grim this year.

 

[Archie Knox]

Was there any embarrassing Kopite behaviour last night towards innocent Spanish civilians?

So do I it's an art defending well and as a team.But you know they are not allowed to do it against the rs, it gets people angry and their masks slip.
