Yes because Everton were better than us this season, the derby turned out to be a non event overseen by a manager who knew he was on the way out. People who were delighted with a draw against Norwich at home because it was an improved performance was a particular low point in Rodgers reign.

So you were wrong then? Good man.

Klopp is at the U-18 game:

Yeah because there might be someone unclear on how you feel about Rodgers.

He's just not suited to it. He's not pacey like Ings or Sturridge, and doesn't have the desire to die for the ball like Suarez did (although to be fair there's only a handful of top players with this mindset, unfortunately). It's just not a part of his game.

He has ran himself into the ground in a number of our games. Can remember him winning the ball in th corner of defenders, blocking clearances etc.

I think you are mixing up balotelli and Benteke in your head.

There is a difference between running about and pressing. I've not seen Benteke press.

The absolute best thing about this appointment is there is zero chance of Balotelli ever playing for us again.

I vote Tipsy and Caovyn get their own thread and move their crap out of the LFC one.

I half-agree with you.

Best signing of the year. 7m a year for Klopp looks like chump change in terms of impact/value ratio for the club.. especially when considering some of our poor value signings like Lovren or Markovic. When he invigorates life and belief in our younger players it might look like signing of the decade. What a great time to be a Liverpool fan, hope restored and excitement building.

I think markovic would do quite well for us under klopp, he got an extremely raw deal under rodgers. One thing I am hugely looking forward to is klopp changing up the squad and shaking things up a bit, everyone gets a fresh start and no more favourtisim ala rodgers.

Not sure how Klopp affects Balotelli's fate at all. Mario was always finished with us when he went on loan.

The best thing about Klopp is that his name alone will help attract top players. Players might've been feeling 'meh' when Rodgers was manager, but now they'll be more enthusiastic about joining us with a top manager in charge.

Sir Gallagher

At least there could be a glimmer of hope for Markovic if he grows a set of balls. Lovren and Lallana were Rodgers' two worst signings.

I see Sir Alex is worried Klopp will do well for us. The bitter one.

Harry was spot on; there's a difference between tracking ground and pressing up high. Benteke just can't press like Sturridge or Ings can. That's not an indictment on him, but it means that I can't see him succeeding for us.

MightyMandarin

Hopefully Ilori will get a shot at playing CB for us under Klopp. Absolutely ridiculous that a Euro U21 winner still hasn't played in a liverpool shirt despite joining us 3 seasons ago yet we've stuck with Lovren and Kolo.

The reasons given are consistent with what he said before the start of the season about why Rodgers was retained and their expectations for this season.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear at some point that contact was made with Klopp in the summer but owners got more serious in their pursuit of him following the Norwich and Carlisle results.

Well it doesn't look or sound like him, the kids sound american. It has been up on youtube since june with 800k views and not a single mention of Klopp.

Going by your own rules, you should block yourself.

Surprised to see the F word in this Guardian article (on LFC.com)!

Sherwood has stated the reason for that is because he isn't match fit due to playing in the Euros and the extended break he got afterwards. Nothing to do with his ability.

If Klopp came in with the mindset that Mario definitely wont play for us EVER AGAIN, then Klopp is not the manager we think he is.

Mario likely wont play for us again hopefully. But any manager would be stupid not to at least have a 5 minute think about the players that are currently contracted to the club.

Why would you want the club to go out and buy a player when you potentially have the attributes your looking for already contracted to the club??

Now I am certainly on board with the get Mario out of town train, but I would see Klopp as a potential for Mario to get himself a second chance if he proves himself and the transfer doesnt happen (as usual with Italian clubs)

ricero

Look forward to the Sunday papers tomorrow we should be linked with around 20 players from Germany tomorrow

Grayditch

No to Mario, thanks. Just fine up front with Benteke, Ings and Sturridge, and I'd rather be giving any extra time to Origi than try reform Balotelli as a pressing, hard working, consistent forward.

That's premised on Mario giving the two tiniest ****s about a second chance at LFC. My impression from the public statements back in August from both him and AC is that they see his return as essentially permanent, and that it was entirely down to money/boardroom shenanigans that he left in the first place. You'd swear it was a sabbatical.

We well and truly got our balls hauled over our heads on this one.

It's the type of deal that only we'd fall for.

We need to swear off signing Italians for a while, treat it like lactose intolerance. We just keep getting the scaldy scuts.
