Poor Joe Allen looks a bit isolated there. Is he missing Brendan?

No one can look Klopp in the eye. Seems everyone is still in the getting to know you phase.

When did we sign Paul McShane?

Our new management team.

Yeah but what do they look like in shorts?

City's wage turn over is now lower than ours and Arsenal's so to say we can't compete with wages is now also wrong.

What on earth are you on about? There is no such thing as "wage turn over".

If you mean City's wages as a percentage of their turnover (i.e. their income) that's great but it doesn't mean they are spending less on wages than we are, in fact it's quite the opposite and whilst expenditure ratios might get some accountant types all wet and excited when it comes to players deciding what club they want to join it is completely meaningless. Have you ever heard of a player deciding to join a club because the £8m per annum they are offering him represents a higher percentage of their turnover Vs another club who are offering him £10m per annum? :rolleyes:

Our highest paid player is Sturridge afaik, who's on £150k a week. This wouldn't even come close to the wages most City players are being paid.

Allen is next to Can & Moreno I think.

The Beardy Boys...

On another note, I had a vivid dream that we lost 6-1 at home to Everton under Klopp, and he had brought Sami back at CB... :eek:

He's referring to the fact that he is staring into space and looks lost in thought, and not saying he is standing on his own.

I wish him well.

So now Rodgers can talk tactical set up with authority? Hmmmmm!

I guess everyone including Enrique gets a fresh start, we've only 2 full backs now so wouldn't be too surprising if he is.

Good article from Jonathan Wilson.

Looks much like Can demeanor wise imo.

Rodgers had Enrique back training with the first team weeks ago iirc.

A guess at the team to start at Spurs.

Sakho----Moreno

Can

Lucas

The amount of Klopp-bait articles on how players will fit in, what tactics he'll play, etc is getting absurd.

Literally nobody has any real idea, especially not the sit at home UK bloggers that are throwing up their basic understanding of his time at Dortmund.

I'm not saying I myself know any better, I don't, but I find little point in pretending he'll set up exactly like he did early days at Dortmund, or whatever, when he hasn't managed a game yet.

I am interested in the analysis after he has a game or two under his belt, not really the semi-informed conjecture of some random interneter only interested in generating income from his advert invested website.

I'm all for people discussing their tactical and lineup thoughts here, don't get me wrong, but the insane number of crap articles are getting on my tits now.

Fuckit, I need a coffee

Opel must be paying him a serious amount of money in sponsorship to convince him to drive around in their cars rather than buy something decent.

Well, ya it is crazy how many people are having a say, but this guy followed JK career and has written several decent pieces on him from as far back as his Mainz days. This one in particular may offer some insight.

http://Fälschung.de/831/JurgenKloppfromCofaceArenatoAnfield.html

Main points on tactics

Frequently utilised a 4-3-3, but it was not ‘symmetrical’
Formation altered to expose opposition weaknesses and ensure the strengths of the squad were used.
In attack, the fullbacks would push forward to join in, whilst the CB’s would spread to effectively create a 3-4-3.

We may never see it at Anfield but interesting all the same.
