Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

The thought of Guardiola leaving before Klopp is a painful one. Probably all that's standing between Liverpool and a clear run at all the competitions.

Yes, and barely at that.

 

[barneygumble]

If Klopp hangs around for much longer we’ll have to get used to this scenario for the foreseeable future I’m afraid.

What else has he got to do?

I’m convinced he’s sticking round cause Guardiola is there. It’s a proper challenge for him.

When he goes, what’s his main challenge? He can go Bayern, Real anywhere and win the Champions League.

Tuchel's already won plenty.

Agnelli's Juventus team of a few years ago the only Serie A side who can compete in the CL since Inter last won it.

Yeah, even now they’ve dropped off. There’s a reason why Juventus dominated the league for a decade fairly recently.

It’s just not a very great league anymore.

Just got to hope Pep out lasts him.

The big difference for me is there is no chance Klopp is going to lose it and do something dumb in a big game. His system is his system and he'll pick a team that fits it.

Pep might come out with some madness where KdB isn't playing or Cancelo plays LB and CM at the same time that gets messy in a tense match. It is always a concern.

We really needed Bayern to take him about 4 years ago. That’s his dream job, but I fear that he’s nowhere near ready to leave these yet.

Tuchel's style can't get into the mid 90s for league points

He's going in 2024 when his contract runs out. Remains to be seen if Pep signs a new one in 2023.

I’m sorry but they are not on the same planet as this Liverpool side. If Guardiola left at the end of this season, they’d win the league by about 20 points.

 

[bignev23]

Just the twelve substitutes in the champions league now?

Against the odds though. Liverpool and City are so far above the level of every other team.

Nailed it.

City are the better side with better players but have a manager who overthinks things in the latter European stages. Nevertheless, it could and really should be 4 titles in 5 years for Pep come May. He could have prevented Liverpool from winning three titles under Klopp.

 

[Nymzee]

Cos I am biased end of.

Grow up

 

[Forever Blue]

Klopp leaves at the end of this contract thank Christ

If the rumours are right, Real Madrid becomes available in the summer.

Salah 12 months to go.
Mbappe coming in.

You’ve got to hope someone makes a big throw. But I feel he’ll be at Liverpool as long as Guardiola is at City.
