Jurgen Klopp- Myth or magic ?

[Kurt.]

Taking off blue tinted specs. .... was joey Barton correct in his summing up of Klopp yesterday.... once you look beyond the theatrics and playing up for the masses. .. is he actually any good at what he does? Are there grounds to place him up there with the best managers in the game?
Personally I think he is out of his depth in the premier league.

Oh kurt

 

[BlueLlama]

One trick pony who disguises his limitations behind the theatrics.
And clearly has no idea how to organise a defence

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Kopite lurker bait this

He's defensively as clueless as El Fraudo, that's why they'll never achieve anything of real note under him.

Where is the massive knobhead option?

No, not Kurt you horrors.

 

[bignev23]

Well if Joey Barton said it, it must be true.

 

[summerisle]

Pyth.

 

[Seathestars]

I still can't get my head around his jaw and its movement.

Poor Manager

 

[Caolam]

I don't think Klopp is a top manager but neither do I think Barton is a pundit in anything other than thuggery.

tbf, I don't think it's about being good or bad...there is no magic formula that always works every time. If there was Kendall Mk II & III would've been successful.
Short version is you have to be Lucky and have lots of things have to fall into place
His 100mph style worked in Germany...and failed too.
But over here in the Prem it's already 100mph and no winter break to recharge the batteries.

So, is he lucky...or will he be lucky enough - Don't think so.
(Nor will Koeman for that matter)

He's a tit of a man, but good manager. The media are the one's who have labelled him as some sort of footballing genius (also the fact he is managing the RS) like when they pedalled that somehow he invented high tempo, pressing footy.

When the pressure is really on him I reckon he'll fold like he did at Dortmund.

 

[Connor]

No Plan B. Outside of his German winter break, his sides will break down before the end of the season.

Won't win zip with them before he heads to Bayern.

 

[flibbyflob]

I can see why fans of his own team jump on board and love him but as he is managing a team I despise I see through all the bullshit and know he is a cockwombling thundercunt of epic proportions. Hope he falls flat on his arse and his squad is decimated by injuries due to his style of play and they finish mid table and he gets sacked.

Er ist ein betrug.........

 

[Woolly Blue]

That's a beautiful summary of him !
Top marks for fooling the swear filter too.

Er ist ein betrug.........

Is that German for "Is the pub open" ?
